👹 The mug arrived!

This month I was working in a Krampus themed graphic pattern and designed a mug print. This week the mug arrived and I’m so excited to share it with you ❤️

Interested? A BTS timelapse of my mockup process.

I usually find mockup templates online (the ones that can be used commercially for free without attribution) and import them into Clip Studio Paint.

Then I adjust them to my liking.

Obviously, I insert the artwork - here my pattern as a wrapping paper - and often I also change the background.

The last part can be tricky because it needs to fit the perspective of the mockup.

How good did I do in your opinion? And would you like to see more of these?

Behind the scenes of my new Krampus design! 👹

Decided to draw and arrange traditional Krampus elements – from the mask to the bells – into a perfectly balanced layout where no detail gets cut off.

100% hand-drawn in my studio, zero AI.

Which color variation would you prefer: red or black?

It’s only the end of September, but I’ve had Alpine winter traditions on my mind.

This piece is my own take on the Austrian Krampus and Slovene Parkelj folklore. If you’ve ever stood out in the freezing cold watching a real run go by, you know how wild and intense that atmosphere is. Personally, I love the history and the imagery, though I think the actual physical violence that sometimes crosses the line at these events is completely unnecessary and focuses on the wrong part of the custom.

When drawing the head, I focused on the artistic side, basing the horns specifically on the Alpine ibex to connect the creature back to the actual mountains. I just updated the art today to bring out the details against a deep red background. I’m really happy with how the profile looks, especially on the gloss mug.

Swipe to the end to see my first version. Which one do you prefer?

Finally putting a 🎀 on this series.

Reimagining Homer’s epic in this vivid neon palette was a really fun challenge. From escaping Polyphemus under the rams to the final reunion back home, I loved composing some of the most famous scenes from the epic poem in this vivid yet limited colour selection.

This is the final collection of my illustrations for my Drawing the Odyssey DTIYS collaboration with Jona Schlegel.
