You can see the close-up here

The place where Winter reigns is desolate, where no living thing can be seen. But she misses some signs of life, that's why she is holding a withered leaf, as the only reminder of the thing that once was alive.

This is my entry for :icongwennafran:'s contest "Personify the Seasons" link.

ETA: Won Bonus Prize for Craftsmanship. Thank you! :blowkiss:

All the rest: hair, part of the dress, ice, headdress, , ice jewelry and other small elements painted by me. All took many hours. :)

Made with PS CS3 and Wacom Tablet. Thank you for viewing! :)

Wow, its all very beautiful. Especially the little leaf! The details are exquisit! Good luck with the contest!

Two observations on details though which you may wanna consider. The snow flakes look repetative. Is there any way you can rotate them or randomize them for a more natural effect? Secondly i dont think the parting on the hair looks quite right. I think it should drift gently to the left a little. Its almost as if the shadow on the right of the parting makes the perspective look squed somehow. Everything else is perfect!

I gotta give you that you work really fast. Wow. :)

She's very beutiful. Quite the ice queen in fact. I can't imagine she can move very fast with that head dress, but then again, winter probably isn't one to hurry much. ;)

*giggles* I guess she is changing this head dress for something smaller, when she is out of her kingdom and wants to be really fast. ;) ;) :D :D :D
Thank you so much! :) :)

A girl like her probably changes her appearance id she has even the tiniest excuse. Gotta make up for the lack of life and plants somehow. ;)

Beauty...:faint:
U are truly an inspiration
:iconelanordh:
I'm changing these snow flakes. You're right. I usually try to remember about such details, but I guess this time I completely forgot.
Long I couldn't see what you meant about the hair, but I guess I eventually saw it. :)
I will upload altered version in a few minutes. Thank you for your observations. Sometimes the different point of view is needed. :hug:

:D :D Sooo true! She can't help it. :shrug:
