Description
Finished Krampus artwork. Who is Krampus? Google him! He's a Christmas devil, assistant to Saint Nick. He gathers up the naughty children and punishes them around Christmas time.It will be printed as 4" x 6" rounded edge postcards. They will be sold in packaged sets of 6 or 12. Each will be numbered and signed as this will be a limited edition of 200! Should be available in about a week.
I would also like to do shirts. Im thinking about some kind of text like "Der Krampus" or even better "Gruss vom krampus" ( Greeting from the Krampus, seen on many vintage Krampus postcards) so it doesn't just look like some weird random devil. Perhaps the text would promt people that don't know of Krampus to ask what it is? I'll shop the design around and see if anyone bites...
Creepy hand is creepy. Thats the whole point!
Yes, there is a shirt: [link]

He sounds more like a pure-blood demon than one of Santa's helpers, especially the part where in one version, it is said that he sends bad children to Hell.

Consider me a potential buyer of the shirt. I would love to see it made!
Regarding the hand: I didn't notice it until you wrote something about it, so I think it fits pretty naturally in the overall composition and definitely isn't noticeable. Very good job with this!

oh dear. Ever since my German teacher told me about this guy I was frightened. It didn't help that some upperclassmen came in with sticks and hit people with them a few days later. >.<
Great picture, I'd love to have a shirt with this guy on it.
"It's a Christmas shirt, I swear!"

I like the "Gruss vom krampus" text, maybe done in a vintage typeface...
I would suggest putting a little bit of info on the back of the card, so people know this is an actual character and not _just_ the sender being weird

yeah, dA wasn't displaying all of the new stuff. I didn't see that was exactly what you had done until after I posted
any thought of doing greeting cards? *hopes MM hasn't already announced them, and I missed that too*

I should have known that you would know about the krampus.
my friends thought i was making it up.
great representation and details!
do you start work with a wacom, or do you draw and then scan and go from there?

The fact that santa had an evil hitman makes the delusion of him even more sinister...

The Krampus...I couldn't stop laughing when this guy dry-humped Dr Venture as an act of dominance in The Venture Brothers Chistmas special...I can still hear the little kids in his pack cowaring in german.
Once again you have out done yourself my dear.

The hand seems strange only at first sight.
It's strange but it works.
If it bothers you,
you can change it, though.
( Maybe a "normal" pose could help who's watching it ).
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that.. Uh, Christmas devil.
I like it

Absolutely fantastic. I love everything about this, even the creepy/awkward hand. Good stuff, and I am so THERE if you ever decide to do a shirt with him.

Learn something new every day! I think some big vintage-looking text would really put this into context, following the greeny-bronze color you have for his flesh, just to balance out the red.

The only problem with how he is holding the birch is that it looks like he is using it to dust things with.

Great piece!
I wouldn't worry to much about the fingers, at postcard size it's not to much of a problem.

Oh wow, that brings back memories of days gone by at the local Austrian Club at Christmas time.

Wowow! I'm always looking for alternative christmas stuff. I can't wait for the cards to come out!
