Merry Christmas, y'all!

Whipped this picture together to use as winter-time graphic for Silvestris.Net. I started out drawing a snowy forest, needed an object of focus, and tried a few different ideas until finally I settled on an old favorite. For some reason, snow/ice deer work very well as a winter symbol for me.

This one is all icicle-y - a spirit of frost and snow, perhaps, an embodiment of the cold season. Ethereal, beautiful, but untouchable and cold. The purity of chill and ice.

Media Used: Corel Photopaint 9 (as always) and my Wacom Graphire3.

So pretty! It almost makes me think of a patronus from harry potter.
But it looks really awesome!

Just beautiful, the embodiment of winter! If you ever illustrate a tarot deck, do let me know. I'd buy it!
