I hope you guys haven't been naughty this year... >8)

Posting it a little earlier than planned.
This was supposed to be last year's, but I didn't finish its design in time.
And now this year everyone and their mother suddenly knows about
Krampus. Oh my luck. But here it is!

---Krampus--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A devilish-looking figure from Alpine folklore, who acts as a counterpart to Saint
Nicholas. While Santa gives presents to good children on Christmas, Krampus punishes
them, but the punishment itself varies according to the story, and may include some
scares, beating them with birch branches, kidnapping, or eating them. Krampus is
represented in common devil fashion, a scary goat-like humanoid with a long tongue
sticking out, wrapped in chains, carrying birch branches, and holding a sack where he
puts the bad children he kidnaps. His origins are a matter of discussion, some theorize
links to Pagan entities such the Horned God, which, while not certain, are the most
likely. During his own day, Krampusnacht on December 5, the Krampuslauf occurs, where
people disguise themselves as the Krampus and parade the streets fueled by alcohol and
distributing "bad presents" such as coal and branches. While he is a villain-type
figure, Krampus is actually very beloved by the population, and nowadays his character
is taking on lighter-tones, having a more cartoonish personality and appearing on his
traditional greeting cards in humorous situations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was supposed to come in a christmas set alongside Odin and Mithra, but their designs
sucked big time, so this year is only Krampus... Oh well.

I didn't want just to copy his devil-like design in my style, so I made it a little more... Festive?
I kinda like how he turned out.

Hope you liked it! See you guys next time, and Happy Holidays!
