Okay just an update! Tweaked some more on Frosty, added blood spats to his face, made my terrain and textured it, added sky with light. Gonna tweak the ground around him to give it that he's slushing through it maybe add a slight blood trail through the snow. And if I have time I'm gonna add a few houses in the background like he's leaving the village after the slaughter! user added image

Let me know if ya have any suggestions! THX M8s user added image

I thought about the sickle but was planning to give him a big knife so decided against it... what do you guys think cause I still have to make the knife so it would be no different than making a sickle. Hmmmmm Thanks guys!

Okay tweaked the ground in front of him and broom to give that pushed up around and him into look! (did that make any sence?...) also tweaking the ground behind to make a trail from where he came from. Used a black velvety type shader for the scarf and such. And tweaked the angle of the light direction to bring out his face more! Let me know what you think! Still thinking about knife sickle delema! L8

SWEET!! I like, I like. The blood's great!!

If you decide to keep the broom you should make it look a little less 'perfect' - less symmetrical. D'ya know what I mean? Add some old whispy bits of straw to the end and stuff like that.

oh wait, I just had a thought...
you could change the broom to a snow shovel, complete with blood and all! Maybe even with a massive dint in the handle from killing the kids!
