Homeless Santa

A homeless street person dressed up as Santa, staring into a fire and thinking about past choices and current regrets. Seen from a childs eye view. A figure of depression during the Christmas season where one would expect to see a figure of joy.

Yo stan! that is a beautiful composition, Great work!
I would love to see some depth in the picture by ading a very subtile lit background…kinda like the back alley just barely can be seen in a darkblue light behind the fire…

still the picture is alredy great!

great concept

the eyes look to open for a depressed guy …but he’s most likely in the middle of an expression transition..

great looking composition.. the fur (from the look of it) around the edges…

i love the story concept you mentioned.. too bad quality stories with feeling are missing so much in the animation world these days. I cant wait to see the final result man.
