Santa Claus' wife (shoes chosen, just need some perfection on character)

[Mats Berglinn]

Right now I'm working on a new game which I aim for release before Christmas because it's a Christmas game. I have a little bit of trouble with Santa's wife.



The one to left of Santa is the one I'm going to use for the game. The others are the original handdrawing. As you can see the original is not straight so that's why it's still there. Anyway, I have a little problem with what kind of footwear she should have. High-heeled doesn't fit for her character, which is sort of a kind grandmother, and I'm not sure if she should have boots like her husband. What kind of footwear do you think I should give her?

Apart from advice on shoes, I'm open to other critics, so just tell me. Note: Let's focus about Mrs. Claus and forget about Santa, ok?

I am not willing to forget about Santa.

Hello Matts.

Helm: Hope that the "not forget about Santa" thing was a joke. By the way, having a pair of elephants doesn't fit her, sorry.

Grundislav: Haha, very funny! I thought for awhile that the forms of the breastlines and the sticking out tummy looked a bit like a face but I never expected that someone would notice it, least joke about it. Ã,  Oh well.

Privateer Puddin': Say, that must be Santa's boots that you used for your paintover. Maybe the boots isn't so bad idea, except that they're too big.

[Helm]

this any better?

I agree Custard's shoes are possibly a little large, perhaps mine are ok? Not sure about the colour.

[Grundislav]

Why not just make her barefoot?


Well, I guess she wears shoes for a reason...

[Esseb]

How about this?

[Helm]

this? Just brainstorming and all

[Mats Berglinn]

Scotch: Nice try but the shoes and the feet are waaaaaay too small, like MI3 Guybrush. Besides they tend her to not look so grandmotherly as I intend her to be.

Helm: Sorry but that won't do. Can't just do some more normal footwear instead of those extreme kinds?

Grundislav: Let me ask you this: Would you walk around on the North Pole barefeet? At least I wouldn't.

Esseb: Too kinky.

[Grundislav]

Ok then how about this?

[Helm]

I think a couple of these are a bit fanciful, I think someone sop far north would probably wear more traditional inuit type clothes:

[Esseb]

Keep it simple, I agree.

[Grundislav]

A friendly grandma type would surely wear something simple. like these slippers:

Mine is the most funniest and the most original!
