Winter's Respite by Coon

Winter's Respite

Coon

Sylvannah is usually quite busy serving as a combat medic for a black ops team that is still attached to the larger Cornerian Military Force. She still finds the time to savor the quiet moments, and for this she prefers the winter season the most. Taking a cup of coffee, she sits at her desk, momentarily forgetting about the sheet music she was working on, the medical paperwork that needed done, and the holiday cards that needed writing as she watched the snow fall. It had already accumulated a fair amount outside overnight, and now in these half-light hours before dawn, it was sooo quiet. The only sounds in the house were the creaking of the materials it was made from, as the heat within met the cold without somewhere between the walls. It made her aware of the sound of her own breathing. No, the outside world could wait; for now she was just going to enjoy the quiet and watch the lighting change as the sun rose behind the clouds.

This was a pic I commissioned from a very good friend of mine who I fear I have since become a little unintentionally distant from. We spent 10 years crafting this StarFox offshoot world together with our group of friends, experiencing the good times and the bad. There came a transitional point for all of us during which we had to shelf the game but our real lives are much better now. I keep trying to reconnect with her, and real life keeps pulling me away.

Also let this be a lesson to you. If someone sends you a pic in e-mail, post it immediately, even if it is off-season. I made the mistake of waiting, and Microsoft ended up making changes to hotmail, eliminating my folder of important, must-keep e-mails in the process. It screwed me over a fair bit, but the worst of it was nearly losing this commission, which I value a great deal.
