Santa's helpwers arent so evil! And red! Those little elves are good helpers and... wha?! Santa Helper?! I HATE THEM!!! They are a parody on the awesome elves, but they are slaves to a parody of St.Nicholas, who wear stupid clothes, do stupid stuff, and make pople think that elves are nice, little, always happy munchkins!!! NOES!!!

...
...Sry. I just really dislike them. I prefer Santa's gnomes/dwarves.
 
the glow could be done in photoshop via layer\effects\inner, or outer glow\normal mode.

experiment and make it tiny.. not like this..

I dont use photoshop, but i have a glow effect similar to the one you are talking about. But when i use it, it affects the whole image or only inside the selected area, so i will have to make a freehanded glow. Its not a big problem but takes some more time.

Tought the only help I can give, is by the 68 hours I putted on this tutorial, happy? :D

Yay, thanks. Will take a look at it and then update later.

edit: Updated! I hope its better now. If not, i will go shading/highlighting some more. Also, i havent renewed preview picture.

Shadings at pants are very nice. Glove shadings looks a bit better.
But present bag? Looks like have no shadings :S
Also, people say santa helpers are green. I have never see green santa helpers, but if they want them be green, so give to them green :D
Paint face at green.

Haha. their skin isnt green:razz: Its their clothes. After uploading the skin a friend found a picture of some santa helpers. And their clothes were red and green -.-
Anyways i will probably make a green version of the skin, if it gets approved.

The idea is creative, I would have liked to see you attempt the peon instead, he has a beard and could have been turned into Santa; which I would tend to think is a much more useful skin. The eyes look not right, they need more work. The bag could also stand to be changed, the stitches from the original skin don't really fit it, and I would change it to be a black bag as well. The skin could overall use more shading and refinement as well. Also, it would be relatively amusing and fitting if you changed the hair color to some bright and happy color, like pink :D

Thanks chrome. Will work on the bag, eyes and shading. And yea it could be good with a new hair colour, but i dont think pink would look good:xxd:

Edit: Okay, i have updated again. More shading and highlights, and the bag is slightly edited. I havent done some pink hair :p

This could use more shading, the level of shading on the pants is ok but all of the other custom material needs more. The candy-cane band should be shaded as well. Also, I always remebered Santa's helpers wearing green, but meh. Add shading+highlights and touch up the skin a bit, and that should do it :)
