Where it is forever winter, guarded by a powerful magical silver stag.

My second render for the contest. This one took 42 hours to render because of the settings to get a glow. I was worried, my resources dropped to less than 15% while this was rendering. Thankfully with Vue, you can pause a render, save it with the resume render info, close it out and reopen at your leisure as many times as you wish.
The orignal size is 4000 x 3200 @ 300ppi. The only post is my little mark in the bottom right hand corner.

Extensive custom eco-systems and custom ice. I sculpted the mountain in Vue @ 4K. The stag was setup and imported from Poser and the materials modified inside Vue.

TFL and good luck to all!

Cinematic & Mystic: Every beam looks enchanted, every shadow wired with mystery. Unreal mood lighting mastery.
