Bonds Of Winter (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

 
Every hero needs rest. Even better if you have a companion to keep you warm.
No matter how tough our next battle may be, these cozy breaks will give us the strength to be prepared for it.
So... just take my coat and enjoy the moment...

Don't ask me why, it just fits well to the scene imo
 
PS: I saw relatively late that there is a competition up on RenderHub and when I scrolled through the contest gallery I was amazed by all the great, creative renders, so I wanted to also submit a render. This is one of my first "bigger" renders, especially like for a contest and in 4k so I took my time and learned more about all the software. It was an awesome experience and I hope my render can inspire ppl like the renders in the contest gallery inspire me.
 
Best wishes and health to all for 2024

Who needs to have a Scouts fireman badge when your lady friend has a hot hand. Lovely setting. Well done!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the coming year to you too. Thanks!

Nice scene setup, is she warming his mug with magic? Lol kinda makes ya wanna here a story about it. 

A warrior and a mage I assume. There's a sword and a staff sitting there.

The comps are good to learn from, push you a bit further. So many cool ideas and how to apply them. 

Nice work
