Finished full illustration for Fiver! Painting this one constantly made me wish it was Christmas. Lovely clear cold winter night, everything blanketed in snow, warm glow from a quaint mountain town in the distance... Yep. Christmas. <3 Title thought up my MrCuddels, who frequents my stream chat often!

20 hours in Photoshop with an Intuos 3 tablet
The texture of that tree and the volume of the snow are so perfect! I feel like I could crunch around in it, wheee~
I totally want to go run around in some snow now and the weather is just getting nice where I live! Beautifully executed. <3
This looks so beautiful, I love the massive amount of depth in this image. I adore artists who can capture a whole world in a single picture like this, it just gives so much information. I really like how you emphasized the surrounded as much as you do the character. Settings can really create the whole mood of a picture ^^.

Ooooh, that is beautiful work! I love your use of colors there. Gives the whole thing a very cold yet peaceful appearance, with the oranges adding a lovely warmth. Also, like the mixing of the colors on the fox. Fantastic stuff.
