Cheers for the comments! I did do some work on this last year towards modernizing it, but ended up getting busy with some other work. I may try again for this year tho.

With some touching up to better fit the more lax restrictions (thematically and detail-wise) on cosmetics since this was first uploaded, I think it stands a reasonable chance of getting included in this year's Christmas crates as a potentially very rare item (now that cosmetic drops are based on rarity now). As others said, it does also need to conform better to the hitboxes of the head region, as it is rather large.
Again, seeing as this hasn't been touched since 2011, with some more modern improvements and with the theme restrictions becoming less and less strict as time has gone on, you stand a much better chance of this being included this year than when you first uploaded.

HERE COMES KRAMPUS HERE COMES KRAMPUS HYAHYAHYAHYAHYAAAA!

Isaac.

I think this can scare the crap out of those kids who play TF2... LOL

I would rather get lump of coal. REFERENCE!

A nice item, perfect for christmas, I hope it doesn't become holiday restricted if it gets in...

Ah, good ol' German folklore

Freaky... then freakier once I realised those were fingers of a naught child! Love it!

RIKI WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE

um

Anyway, I really like how this mask looks like, and I'd be happier to see players prancin' around with it covering their heads than those stupid HHH and Monoculus' head respectively.

Krampus actually accompanies Saint Nicholas, not Santa Claus. These two merry folk are not the same; Santa is based upon the former one, who was an actual saint. In his tradition Nicholas comes to good children at night from 5th to 6th December, stuffing their shoes with gifts and sweets. Just wanted to put that up here.

i rly want it

Must not make venture bros refrence

Badass

Issac

I think I have to vote this one up simply becasue I genuinely recoiled slightly when I saw its picture.

Epic

This is the dumbest idea

САТАНЕЯ, ФУ !

what the fetus.

WOW! I LOVE IT!

Yuck, I highly dislike this.

Nice work. SO detailed Love it :D

I magine if you're a sniper and you turn around to see this.... XD

Nice work!

WAAAAY TO DETAILED.

Krampus did more than frightening small children XD

Nothing says Merry Smissmass like a hideous demon whose sole purpose is to frighten small children.

Very Festive!

I feel this should be a bit simpler in design, and totally be a Medic item too. But great job! Upvote

YES PLEASE!! Need more ugly/scary mask

I didnt mean to offend you, Just saying it looks simalar.
And that it i would shit my pants if a turned around and say this on someone with attacking me

im scared 0_0

looks too detailed to get into tf2, but nice to see a christmas subject generally not touched upon

Looks amazing i hope it gets added to tf2!!

Too overdone IMO. Definitely needs a simpler look and much smaller size. Conform it to actual head hitboxes as much as possible if it's going to cover the head.

Actualy its part of the german tradition of st. Nikolaus I Just leared that in german class

NICE

I think it's the devil hahahaha
