GO Studios: Guss vom Krampus

Secret Satan Exchange 2013 gift for ramsesmelendeze | Hosted by dA-Morgue

What's Christmas without a visit from the Krampus? What's a Krampus you ask? Back in the day, long before Christianity, naughty children were visited by the Krampus during the Krampus Festival (first week of December). After the creation of Santa, he pretty much rode shot-gun with Santa and would punish the naughty by either licking them with his very long tongue or whipping them with birch branches. Eventually he was replaced with Santa giving you coal if you were bad, but he's been making a comeback the last 10 years or so. I first learned of the Krampus when watching the Very Venture Christmas Special (GO TEAM VENTURE!).

I had way more fun with this one than I should have. The base model used is my husband, who I harassed for close to two weeks before I could get him to agree to pose for some stock images. He wasn't overly thrilled at first, but as work progressed he liked it. The tongue is his, as well is the nose, ear, teeth & nails. I don't think I will be putting u pa stick pack for this one.

'Gruss vom Krampus' is German for "Greetings From Krampus". It was one of the standard greetings on the Krumpus cards given out during the festival.
