The real Santa...

My idea was to represent the ghost of the old and traditional Santa Claus, which is replaced by a more commercial and attractive Christmas.

The characters and the environment were created and modeled with Poser Pro 2014 and Cinema 4d.

The street was built and rendered with Cinema 4d.

Santa Clausette and the stray cat were rendered with Octane Pro

The final image was created in Photoshop CS.
In total, it took me 16 layers in Photoshop to finalize the image.

About 2 days for creating the scene and 15 minutes for rendering.
