Man in the red suitby `priteeboy

SURPRISE!!!...I bet you all thought I already had my Christmas deviation for this year submitted already with Frozen Flurry galaxy and even I thought that was going to be it too. But I realised I had enough time to make a more formal Chrissy deviation and like never before - post it on the actual day

All my first christmas deviations were landscapes, and had cold blue/white colour combinations, so this year I wanted something completely different and decided to make a character the focal point rather than a tree (though you can see The wishing tree in the background lol) as well as choose a much wamer colour scheme - red and gold which was inpsired by a lovely poinsettia plant I got, you can seem them around the edges in here too

My concept here can be taken any way you want...the man in the red suit could just be a guy dressing up for the day, but on a deeper level - could he be the young Santa Claus before the beard (and the gut) came in? I'll let you decide

I used a found pic here as reference for the pose only, but all other concepts for the character design, clothing and surroundings are original and mine. Hope you like!... Though I only disabled critique on this particular one since it took a long time and I'm not sure if I could find motivation to work on it any more, so if you really need to crit, then do so if you know what you are talking about, But I most likely wont bother making any changes

Merry Christmas to all my beloved watchers! Just please everyone remember to not use my art in any way, be it on dA or off without permission from me
