Robot and the Reindeer

Here's a happy little image I just completed yesterday. I say "little" but it actually prints up at 24"x18" and was quite the behemoth (a fact I was reminded of every time I saved the file and had to wait 2-3 minutes for it to finish). It's the second in a series I began with the Go With the Flow poster several months ago. My first attempt had the deer standing in profile with the robot peaking from behind a tree and was among the most mind-numbingly boring compositions I've ever tried to convince myself was worth pursuing. Luckily, a friend of mine was honest enough to tell me the awful truth so I scrapped the whole idea and started over, this time having actually thought things through a little bit.
