First time I saw this, instantly broke my heart
great work. It touched me. I will not be with all my sons on Christmas so I felt a connection immediately.
If I might ask, how did you get the look for the father ” ghost”?
Hi very good and very nice like last work .
I live in Iran and see must tut .
Congratulation Christmas Happy every day and have good day.
Wow really awesome image and concept!
Excellent! Feelings aside, the orange and blue “shine” on the lamp is really nice. Could you please briefly explain how you did this?
I think the lamp was just orange and the blue you see is due to the chromatic aberration.
So… beautiful… *cries*
A very teary image…
(A fellow filipino here… and you know Sir Ross Tec? I’m one of his students…
I’m amazed to see his friend being featured again here… :D )
Speaking for those countless amount of boys in this world who grew up either having had our time with our fathers cut short (like I did) or completely without them, this hits me where I live. Choked me up. Thank You.
It’s very nice, warm and peaceful as the most of your works, Reynante!
Thank you so much for the kind comments, everyone!
I’m very happy that you were all able to feel the message behind this piece.
Happy holidays! ^_^

Touched my heart n_n
I almost broke down the moment I saw this without even reading what it was that it was inspired by. I think that is the proof of how well constructed the scene is from an artistic standpoint. Great work.
