I sooner or later have been meaning to make a vector, related to Christmas. And this time, I did something I’ve always wanted to… dress him up as Rudoph. Or a Reindeer. Take your pick. Something about the antler headgear and light bulb nose is something that’s obviously goofy and silly, and yet adorably charming at the same time if it’s done right. I find it cute to see that they’re around because of how silly it looks, but at the same time, it can look very cringy it can get because of how silly it looks.

But of all the things I wanted to do with my character, related to Christmas, I wanted to aim for this. Most of this is largely because of my childhood when I used to watch Rankin-Bass’s Rudoph special every year. It was always aired on CBS as a tradition. As I look at it from an adult’s perspective, it hasn’t aged too well, which is why I’m more geared towards Charlie Brown Christmas. Most people’s favorites are the Grinch, which is a nice pick, but I didn’t always have the privilege of watching that short by comparison. That being said, I still enjoy the Rudolph special regardless of it’s bad aging and still have that inner child. Rudolph is still a character I was able to sympathize with and even as a somewhat role model of facing being different from society. And not so much for everyone else, including Santa. So I brought this out.

I was hoping that this would work with my OC. And additionally I planned of having him strapped to a sleigh, giving Keyframe a ride. But I was short of time, and as is I fear people would take this outfit the wrong way and perceiving it as something more… suggestive. Which isn’t my intention. Just a simple pose with a caring smile where I show his eye-shadow (Seriously, I can’t get enough of showing some of that. My apologies).

That all said and done, Merry Christmas, and I hope your holiday is going well.
