Squee Helps “Unwrap” the Presents

Telka knows she shouldn’t have left Squee alone with the Christmas presents… again!

NOTES
Ever have one of those scenes you just can’t get to render the way you want, no matter what you try? This was one for me. I set up Telka and Squee several weeks ago, on a moonlit path near some trees, but I just couldn’t get the lighting right, esp. for Squee’s materials (which I tweaked endlessly). So I gave up for a while, then tried again, and decided the scene needed a different background. I went through nearly a dozen other options before I settled on the cave.

I hadn’t intended this to be a Christmas scene, but given that the holiday is only a few days away, I figured I’d add some decorations to the scene. Then I came up with the idea of making some “messy” wrapping paper for Squee. If I’d planned to do a “messy wrapping paper” scene from the start, I would’ve set up everything differently — so maybe next year!
