Old Winterby ~iKiska

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

Fuck this, I'm out

One of those pictures that stayed unfinished for WAY too long, despite me working on it pretty often

It's just winter. Uh. As in to go along with my autumn picture: [link] I'm thinking of re-naming the autumn picture, since once I started winter I thought of a mini back-story for the seasons and autumn's title is boring anyway. Don't get me wrong, winter's is boring too, but it at least ties in. Somewhat.

The "story" basically is that winter is the oldest season, the one that has been around since forever, and one day her overambitious frost began to wear on the nerves of whatever else was nearby. Eventually spring and summer came along and tried to destroy winter and give the world constant warmth and growth and joy and shit.

Anyway winter didn't like that and came up with autumn, the youngest season, and created an unbreakable law that would end spring and summer's ruling every year to give way to autumn, who would give way to winter.

The end.

So for the picture itself, I didn't want too much of a "Christmas" theme. I just wanted winter. So the silver bells are sort of cheating that somewhat... it used to be a red ornament, but the silver bells was more all-around winter and less just-Christmas. If that makes sense.

And I wanted each season (someday spring and summer will be done) to have its own animal, hence autumn's crow and winter's snow hare. I'm still not completely decided on spring and summer's animals... suggestions?

Also I wish I liked the bunny more. Pfft. He looks like his fur is lamb fur

Right then, I'm going to see what everyone's doing in the kitchen and wait for friends to return, you guys go do that thing that you do

I love the way you positioned the frame in the background

And oh my god, that bunny is so freaking adorable!

Lovely job on the clothing folds!

Quite amazing. Good works takes time and sometimes the 'best work' usually don't get finished because it's beyond what humans can manage to make time for and you know the rest...

~iKiska Dec 13, 2011 Student General Artist

Thank you very much

The winter version!

It's so pretty I can't decide which one I like best D:

Before I sound like a total weirdo stalker, I moved from ~XocolatlDiscoRoses47 lol. If you still think I'm a total creeper that's cool

That heart does not help my case.

The coloring and detailing is a amazing, especially on the snowflake, bells and icicles off the tree

Also, FLUFFY BUNNY IS SOOO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE

Very creepy eyes she's got, but very beautiful at the same time as well. As usual, the folding in the cloth makes me jealous of how well you do it, and it looks very well shaded. I like the red accents in the picture and how her skin contrasts against the light colors. It really draws my attention to her. Lovely job on the picture overall

Hooray!

_{PAHAHA I know, I remember you moving to this account~ I would have acknowledged it earlier but aside from replying to things in my inbox I've been inactive as hell lately}

And aaaawh I love your comments <3 Always awesome to read before I trudge through the nonexistent snow (it may as well be snowing, it's COLD) to my early class over a mile away before trudging back up here before trudging back down there at three

CURSE THE LAZINESS WHY CAN'T I FLY ;_;

Also I got no sleep last night. _{Hence this reply C:}

~VaniBun Dec 11, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Same here D: Late reply is late cause I can't seem to reply without sounding completely stupid.

D'aw, I'm glad someone loves my creepy commenting

I feel so loved

I love snowww. For some reason it snowed two months. On a generally warm day o.O Having fun in college?

OH HOW I WISH I COULD FLY WITH CARDBOARD WINGS ;___;

The colouring is wonderful - The folds and wrinkles on the cloth are really nicely done...
i also like how you made it seem calm, yet somewhat sinister - lovely job

~iKiska Nov 5, 2011 Student General Artist

Thanks! Glad you like the cloth, I definitely winged that one and hoped for the best
