Santa and Krampus taking a much deserved midnight break on Christmas Eve!

I was inspired by Christmas itself! Basically I wanted to do a more lighthearted take on Krampus.  After all, like Santa, he's just doing his job!

Daz Studio Iray render.  The figures are the base Michael 7 HD (Santa) and Russell HD for Michael 7 (Krampus) with various morph dials used to create the characters.

I used Blender to model the horns, shackles, chains, Santa's belt/buckle, coins and coasters.

Photoshop was used to modify and/or create the various maps and textures.

No postwork was done.

It took me about ten days, a few hours each night, to finish everything.

Render time was 9 hours and 55 mins.  (99% Converged Ratio, Quality 3; on a GTX 1050ti.)

Merry Christmas!!!
