Claus


A darker take on Claus. I wanted to capture the spirit of a solitary North Pole wanderer. It occurs to me now that he now looks like an emo Santa. What you can't see is that under his cloak, he's wearing a Dashboard Confessional t-shirt he got at Hot Topic. This one took about an hour and a half. I'd love it if you guys would mention how long your posts take to make. Happy Holidays folks.

  4. Sick! reminded me of N.C. Wyeth right off the bat. Not nc wyeths santa, but all of his pirates and storybook characters and stuff.

    Hahaha. Creepy is right! I'm scared.

    Hey Macks, I'll start posting how long stuff takes me! So far it's been much longer than 1.5 hours :-D

  5. I might try a tighter render of this guy. I was just looking over N.C. Wyeth's work again and was reminded how much I love his stuff. The time thing is just a curiosity for me. I don't think speed is any indication of quality or lack thereof. Sometimes some images just click and a lot of times they don't.

  7. super dope man!

    I'm a firm believer that: if it looks simple/done effortlessly, they done it so many times to make it appear that way.
