I always feel that projects of this size really push me as an artist and I learn so much. This project was no exception, taking me nearly three weeks to complete, of course I had a ton of fun.

Designing the snow material was a huge challenge, but following a few awesome tutorials on YouTube and the power of substance designer I was happy. Using speed tree and Quixel mega scans for the first time, I was able to make it feel a lot more believable and will definitely be using them again in my next projects.

Personal critiques
-The snow still could use some more work
-Shadows in some places appear to be 100% black (no good)
-No writing on the plane (name or countrys flag)
-campfire doesn't read very well
-Snowfall FX could use some more motion blur, distance blur, and a reduction in size
