Grizzly Santa

Date Completed: 12/1/2012

Finally finished my 2012 Christmas Card design...

Due to the complexity of last year's christmas card (featuring a monster formed out of a massive toy pile [link] ) I couldn't really get too detailed, so this year I really wanted to just pick a few characters to feature and really amp up the finishing...

And I'm running out of visual takes on Santa Clause.

So I decided this year the theme would be 'Animals'.

I knew right off the bat that I wanted to do a Grizzly Bear as Santa... After that I went through tons of animals till I ended up with a monkey, rhino, owl, mouse, snake, and octopus as elves.

I'm happy with the results...

If you're interested, I've posted a 'Making Of' video on youtube to show the progress from sketch to the final piece...

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
