Default New Santa

This is from a Dave Stetson rough out of a traditional Santa with a long robe. I wanted to do something different so I gave the Santa pants and boots and took the robe and swept it back so it was flowing and then had the robe lining showing all around behind the boots and legs. I hope you like it.

Hi grayhair,

You're right on about giving him something different. He's got a really fresh new look to him.

Btw, I right off the 110 near So. Pasadena. I'll send you a pm.
