Creating Krampus

I like the darker side of Christmas, Krampus for me is one of the best horror Christmas films you can see and one I watch every year......

So.. when I came across this amazing print I had to build and paint it

I did get the initial print colour wrong, I printed in Red, as Black was going to be my primary colour it was a mistake I later regretted

So after spending more time and paint I got him to the colour I wanted, the whole diorama is printed in standard PLA and dry brushed in the relevant colours, no air brush was used at all

I plan on doing a tutorial on dry brushing in the very near future for those who like and want to try it, the detail you can bring out with this method is incredible

The lights around the base are from China £3.50 and originally bright White which I coloured with a clear red to give a bright orange effect

The whole diorama is lightly dusted in fine white glitter in the right places which sets it off perfectly

If I was to change anything I would probably print the shattered glass globe in a clear resin, PLA Clear isn’t ever clear but I’m still happy with the overall look I’ve achieved

Christmas is two months in the past but I highly recommend the film if you haven’t seen it
