Free Christmas Wallpaper Collection: Santa's Flight
This magical image was created in Photoshop CS6 and was based on a tutorial by ALFOART Graphic & Web Design called "Christmas Night, Magic Scene With Flying Santa". While the original image and tutorial are excellent, there were some things about them that I wanted to change...
The scene was modified from vertical to horizontal to accommodate today's widescreen monitors. To compensate for the added empty space, the original scene's iceberg was replaced with an image of a glacier face and the lighted tree was added. Santa and his reindeer were created from a free vector image found on the internet rather than the paid vector used in the original. Instead of the fireworks image for the magical twinkling snowflakes, I chose an image of a bright star nebula courtesy of NASA. I did use the same moon photo and cloud photo from the original image, since they came from Textures.com, a site to which I already belonged.
The resulting wallpaper has the look and feel of a magic christmas tree forest somewhere near the north pole, where snow flies like glittering stars in the moonlight as Santa sails by high overhead...
