I wanted to create a "what if" scenario and treat it as an anime movie. What if Santa was unavailable to deliver toys to all the kids on Christmas Eve due to an alien invasion? Or an assault on the North Pole by a vindictive ex-communicated evil elf warlock? Stepping up to fill in for Santa is DAZZLER: The Stocking Stuffer! A battle elf infused with Christmas Magic and the fighting prowess to battle off Santa's enemies and fulfill Christmas wishes throughout the world!

Programs used:

DAZ, rendered with Reality, Photoshop CC and OnOne.

Time taken:

From concept to completion 12 hours.

What inspired me to create this scene was to create a character that could be featured in a holiday themed series that I used to love (and still do) as a kid.
