Thank you for participating in the games! - Sochi 2014

(About the picture)
Yes, I know the Olympics ended well over a couple weeks ago, I started, worked, and finished this around that same time.

Here we have Mishya, as a [Russian] Olympic ice skater, proudly gliding across the ice while his friends watch him from behind the stands.
His watch is a relic from his past, symbolizing the great and powerful history behind his being. It dates from the 1600s.
The cat lady behind the scoreboard is Karen Blackstone, Mishya's wife. (image coming soon)
The deer guy holding the Russian flag is Johannes Valhalla, a friendly comrade to Mishya. (image coming soon)
The Dalmatian guy clapping is Rico Escobar Ortega, a special friend to Johannes and Mishya's mentor. (image coming soon)

(Flaws)
Few flaws exist in this picture, as I am greatly satisfied with the result.
-Ice detail/shading
-Would have looked better colored

Let this image stand for the good spirit of the Olympic games, as differences are put aside, world affairs are left alone for those few weeks, to unite as a world and to cooperate as nations as a team to accomplish a common feat to bring glory to the homeland. Thanks to all the athletes of the Olympics, from all nations, hours of practice, dedication, and passion into your sport. May you all be blessed Olympians in the near future as you train to achieve.

We are the world! - Мы являемся мировым!
