In western Austria where this is a very old tradition, the naughty kids get punished by the Krampus (or as we call them 'Krampal' which is the diminuitive). The good ones get sweets from St. Nicholas.

Those shackles/chains are really standing out, I can't not notice them kinda floating above the painting.

Edit: accidentally pressed enter on my phone too soon. This looks great nonetheless. Was surprised to learn this is OC, when it looks so classic

We hold an annual Krampus Night every year. Movie, and food from German origins. This year will be the sixth I believe.

Damn, you really nailed this art style. This looks so much like an evolution of the style you’d see in illuminated manuscripts. Beautiful work.

Nice! I visited a friend there last year. Drove all the way there and back. Not sure why your city gets so much hate. I enjoyed myself. :)
