And finally
THIS IS A KRAMPUS!!!! I HAVE NO DOUBT
The horns and fork its just a demon thing, BUT THE BELLS!!!
And the fact that it has a purse (wich is so little an cute), plus the hands and the hair mach the usual representation of Krampus.
And the fact that he's kidnapping a child (tho that's is not his exclusively)
I'm so happy to see more krampus interpretations on media and creative creation.
Whoops. Forgot to post this hot pic of King Krampus I drew for Christmas.
Oh well.
Merry Christmas.
Since it's the last day of the year, I figured I'd post two of the last sketches I worked on for this blog before the inevitable holiday rush tore me away like some giant tidal wave of holiday cheer. (Not that I'm complaining mind you, this has been by far one of the best Christmases that I've had in years.)
As for what these two sketches are for, well, they're my attempts at figuring out a stained glass art style that I'd be comfortable with for an extended backstory segment for the Aldheim comic. It's going to take a bit more practice, but I can definitely see this as the start of something fun and interesting.
This has been an interesting year for me, one which I'll probably be reflecting on sometime tomorrow over on my mod blog. Till then though, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! May 2015 turn out to be all that we want and hope it to be!
Happy Birthday Egophiliac! I wanted to do a follow up to last year's picture, so I drew Woona introducing her friends Imogen, Sunshine and Meadowlark to her grandfather Krampus for the first time. I'm definitely going to ink and color this, but for now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks for 142+ Followers!
MOD: Hey everybody, I wanted to make sure that I got this posted, since I finished the third bust for this last night. To my complete surprise (and anxiety-inducing horror), over 142 people are now following me on this blog. I'm actually amazed, humbled, and extremely grateful for the faith you all have placed in me by following this little experiment. It means a lot to me that you all would be interested in following this comic, and I do truly appreciate it.
Now, I WAS planning on including some busts of some of my followers, as a sign of my appreciation, but my plan is to hold off on that until I can reach another follower milestone. The reason for this? I've only got six character busts done so far, and it doesn't really seem fair to me to have only six out of over a 100+ potential characters of my followers to post. So I'll be holding off on that until hopefully the next milestone, so that I can do a proper follower appreciation post.
As for the comic itself, I'm currently work-shopping the first "issue", one that will help introduce the nation of Aldheim and Krampus to the audience. I'm also going to try and revamp the site to be more comic-friendly, possibly with little status bars showing the progress I'm making with the script, drafts, and ink & paints of the comic pages. In the meantime though, I'll start posting more sketches and character designs, which I hope will help flesh out the planning of Aldheim and its characters for you all.
Again, thank you all so much for following me. It really means a lot to me that you all would be interested in these characters and world, and I can't wait to share them with you all.
Hey everybody, before I post the Follower Appreciation Update, I wanted to ask you all for some help: For some time now, I've been wanting to change Krampus's color scheme a bit. The reason for this is, whenever I would commission pictures of him, the artist would always give him a color of dark brown different from the original concept sketch. I later learned that this was because the original didn't "read" so well. The original colors for Krampus's fur were so dark that it made it difficult to read any expression on his face.
Because of that, I wanted to ask you all which version of Krampus you think works best. Personally, I'm rather partial to the BorisGrim colors, though I'm undecided as to whether to go with the version that has a separate color for the horns or the version that shares the same color between the horns and fur. I'd have asked you all sooner, but my computer dying on me last month or so put the kibosh on that until I could get everything set back up again.
For fun, I also included three alt colors, two based on the Pokemon Darkrai and another based on Merriweather. I'll try to get the actual update up this weekend, and from there on out, work on providing a more steady stream of content for you all.
And here are the colors. So far so good, but I'm not sure if it comes across that Hulda is looking at Krampus. Maybe if the back antlers were moved somewhat so that it looks like her head is turning towards him and not away. Anybody got any thoughts or suggestions?
