This is the Saint Nicholas of old (moreso than the Santa of new! lol) He's quite stunning! I love his sumptuous coat....you can see and just imagine how soft it is. And look at the green silk or satin vest and starched white shirt with the pearl buttons. Mike, you really brought out the perfect details so well. Was there snow falling in the original? If you've added the snow, that is truly remarkable :)

Mike Savad replied:

the original was coated in what looked like paint speckles, i got rid of the obvious ones. the coat, looks like its coated in powdered sugar, because its an inside set, i recognize the background. its not too hard to add my own snow, i've done it from image to image, its easier to add it, then to focus on something while it falling. ---Mike Savad http://www.MikeSavad.com

I adore the coloring of this image, Mike, and a box of cards is going on my wish list.

CONGRATULATIONS Mike!!! "Christmas Santa" has been featured in 'Everything In Moderation, Including Moderation!' I never thought of the coal mining elves, but you are right someone had to do it!

Mike Savad replied:

he must have gotten it from some place. and there were a lot of very bad children.. though in those days, burning coal will go a lot longer than burning toys. ---Mike Savad http://www.MikeSavad.com

Is that what Mike looks like? :-)

Mike Savad replied:

a little over a hundred years ago maybe, but since i have no memory of the even, i can only assume i go back in time sometime in the late future. ---Mike Savad http://www.MikeSavad.com
