Question,

in your clay render I did not see the bulbs for the Chirtsmas lights. Were they rendered in the final with an emitter inside?

if you look at the clay you can just see the bulb glass tip coming out of the flower skirt and yes they are modeled as real fairy lights so emitter inside them. if you look at the render you can see the loop of the element inside each bulb

Lots of great modeling and details, it just feels like the lighting is unfinished, coming from the monitors alone. A bit more artistic lighting would help create a mood better no?
