The Claus with a Cause and Several Charges
3D Render by scifierHe sees you when you’re sleeping… and apparently also breaks into your house at 3 AM for cookies. After a high-speed sleigh chase and a suspicious amount of crumbs, Santa was booked on charges of breaking and entering, speeding, and cookie theft. He maintains he was ‘just doing the job.’ The reindeer have declined to comment...
North Pole Police Department – Incident Report #007
Reporting Officer: Frostbite-07
Subject: Santa Claus (Alias: “Big Red
Charges:
Breaking & Entering (Seasonal Recidivist)
Sleigh Speeding over International Airspace
Unauthorized Magical Takeoff
Cookie Theft with Intent to Consume
Disturbing the Peace (via HO-HO-HO projection at 120 dB)
Physical Condition:
Slightly bruised, unusually grumpy, wearing a tank top.
Multiple tattoos observed, including a deer sketch.
Claims the injuries were caused by “malfunctioning chimneys.
Evidence Collected:
• Crumbs
• One half-eaten gingerbread man
• A sleigh disturbingly parked across three lanes
• Reindeer hoofprints fleeing the scene
Statement from Suspect:
“I was just doing my job. And the cookies were right there.
Case forwarded to the Winter Magistrate for further jollification.
This mugshot was created using a MetaHuman base and completely reworked through a full multi-app workflow.
I repainted Santa’s face and body textures using Substance Painter and Adobe Photoshop, giving him the bruises, wear, and "holiday stress" he clearly earned. His tattoos include two of my old tribal designs plus a brand-new hand-sketched deer tattoo, originally drawn in Procreate and then finalized in Illustrator for crisp ink styling.
His hat and classic tank top were fully simulated in Marvelous Designer and painted in Painter. Even the mugshot nameplate and the background measurement plates were modelled and textured inside Unreal Engine, completing the scene right where the MetaHuman was posed.
The result: a Santa who's been through a lot… and probably still wants those cookies.
