@smceccarelli btw, you might want to take a look at those social sites to see what canvas ratio might be best to accommodate all 3+. I've noticed that Twitter crops vertical images (unless I just don't know what I'm doing when I post - haha), horizontal images are on the small side in Pinterest, and square fits your profile display of images in Instagram the best (though, I believe it shows the image as vertical/horizontal in the post-feed that others see)

I guess you could also simply create multiple images that are cropped according to each social site...

That is exactly what I try to do as often as possible
I always start with the Instagram format, unless I have other constrains...

Great image @smceccarelli can't wait to see this painted.

Practically done. May re-check value balance in a couple of days, after it is out of my mind. Thoughts and feedback welcome!

This is SO brilliant @smceccarelli! I always love your character design (even the tree has so much pizazz!) so much and you're so very talented when it comes to rendering too. I'm also always a sucker for humour

The background is a bit too gold/brown for me - but this is a personal preference thing so very subjective. Feel free to ignore me on that! On the topic of background though, there's just two areas I find distracting. The texture behind/above Santa almost looks like a face to me and my eye keeps going there, trying to make out what it is. I'm also distracted by the two large rectangular shaped brush strokes (on a 45 degree-ish angle) in the upper right. I think those two areas could be blended a bit more. But otherwise I think it's fantastic! Great work as always

P.S. I'm blown away by the tinsel garland - wow!

awesome image- my favorite is the background. Backgrounds are so difficult for me
