Santa pointing close-up for templates

A playful, energetic Santa close-up for social templates shows him on the right side of the frame from mid-torso upward, rendered in a smooth, stylized 3D style with clean, modern lines and soft shading. He leans toward the viewer with bright, excited eyes and a wide smile, one hand pointing directly outward as if picking the viewer, while the other arm gestures dramatically toward the left side of the image with an open palm, clearly indicating the empty space as somewhere something important will appear. His red coat and hat with plush white fur create a strong, iconic silhouette, and his gloves are a deep, desaturated green that pops against the minimal background. The left half and top of the canvas are dedicated to copy space: a calm, graphic gradient that transitions from creamy white near Santa to a muted turquoise further left, with just a hint of soft, diagonal light streaks to add energy without clutter. Warm, front-facing light gives his face and pointing hand gentle highlights, while subtle cooler shadows fall behind him and under his chin, maintaining depth but avoiding high contrast. The large, open background area stays simple and unadorned, with no ornaments, icons, or readable text, making it straightforward to overlay headlines, callouts, or product imagery wherever needed.
