"Seriously, Santa, it's completely safe and a lot more efficient than that sleigh-and-reindeer setup you've been using. Now hurry up and step through before the portal closes!" Perhaps I'm taking the "Magical Holiday" theme a bit too literally! My inspiration: in recent years, the trend has been to portray Santa Claus as being pretty high-tech, with a computer database of nice/naughty kids, a cutting-edge factory, etc. I always thought it was more fascinating to simply think of it all as pure magic. If you want to call Santa a wizard, that's up to you. This image took about two days to complete. Software used was Poser 8 and Photoshop CS. The "magic circle" background was a screen tone from Manga Studio.
