Artist's Comments

This image is part of a series I did on the four seasons. Here the King of Winter is coming to bring death to the lands below his frozen mountain realm. I wanted the image to be full of death symbols; frost, the ravens, the screaming woeful tree, the wolf. The king himself noble and uncaring. His features are human, but a little off. His nose a little too long, his ears a litte too sharp.

The overall effect I wanted was one of chilly majesty. The kind of beauty you can look at and appreciate, but which is by its very nature hostile.

It`s very beautiful and alluring. Though he looks very frosty, no ruddiness on the cheeks=)))
This pic really creates a mood.
Merry Christmas!=))))

You always do such a good job! I really really REALLY like this piece well both of us do ^^) I was looking forward to this I soon as i read your journal entry! Great efforts yet again! Not only have you drawn your characters to perfection-but the background is beautiful! Your attention to detail on the icicles is awesome and I really like the little skeletons on the trees! Beautiful I hope you get a Daily Deviation for this!

Cold and beautiful - and a little scary. The whole image is wonderful, but I especially like the detail of the snow and ice on the wolf's head - the briefly settling snow on his fur and those little icicles. brr.

Amazing! I really like the icicles around the wolf's face, they give it a very stern, intense look. I also like the icicles on the trees, but I really love the way you captured the wind as it whisks away the fresh powder.

By the way, have you done anything with the minotaur I requested? If not, its no big deal, I understand that you're busy. I just wanted to see what was up since we kind of broke communication.
