Before Christmas , I want to post my "obra maestra" here ,
This is a christmas terrain . . . This is the true christmas, the birth of our lord, not the santa, christmas tree, rudolf etc . . . Our lord is the real celebrant of CHRISTmas . . .


Biblical Story :

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I like it! And not just because it brings Christ to the satan worshiping pagans of the internet, but because it's actually pretty good.

I like the idea of the beam of light going down from the star, but I feel the star could look way better.

While I'm sure you're trying to be funny, let's keep our reviews mostly professional,
can't we?

Somehow I'll have to agree that I like it, and I guess what makes me like it is it's
old-school look more than anything. It's mighty blue, though, and I'd like to see you
break that off a tad. Maybe just by changing the fog around a bit, and if that can't be
done without ruining the sky, I guess I'd like to see you use the "Glow" doodad to add
some sort of color play, if only slightly, to the overall atmosphere.

I also suggest you look up the "cloud" doodad in one of them maps by Tobyfat, to see if
you can use them to make the sky a tad more interesting.
