I really like this - the style is slightly different from your usual works but I think it worked out very well - her outfit looks gorgeous and I really like the different shades of green - I think they match the sky and her hair very well - together, the whole scene has a lovely, magical feel - great work!

Thanks so much! It is quite different from what I usually do, but I'm glad you like it nonetheless. I had fun with the colours. They were a bit of an experiment but I think they worked out well...Thanks again!

This looks really good!! And I love how you did that background! There's a lot of depth, but somehow it also has that feeling of reduced visibility that snow causes?? It's cool

Thanks so much! Yeah, I actually was thinking recently that my snow scenes are too crisp. As in what is far away is too clear and sharp. So I tried to make it more blurry this time.

I love the colour palette here. Great job on the purple sky and the matching colours of her dress! Happy holidays!

Thanks so much! I wasn't sure how the greens and purples will work together so I'm glad it looks ok! Thank you!

Wow she looks fantastic, I love the greens used on her skirt and the little buttons on her sleeves, she looks prepared for anything with that brilliant sword (the hand guard is amazing and I love the way you added touches of red and blue to her hand, it makes her hands look cold which is perfect in the snow).

I'm glad you think she looks nice, thank you!
The sword was fun - I'm enjoying practicing metallic things. (though not being able to draw straight lines is a problem, haha).
Thanks, I did try to make it look like the chill is getting to her a little bit.

You're welcome!
Lol yes I know the feeling, I can't draw straight things either, especially swords, but it looks straight enough to me!

What a great secret santa gift! You should definitely draw more Victorian outfits because you're so good at them- this is fantastic!! I particularly love the corset and the shading on the over-skirt and cloak! That sword looks very dangerous indeed! I wouldn't want to mess with her! I love the fact you've added snow around her too- very festive!

Thank you so much! I don't have much experience with Victorianesque outfits, but they are very fun! I'm so glad you like how I did this one! During winter time I tend to add snow wherever I can in drawings!

Nice job- and fully expressive of the Holiday spirit- especially when you've been battling the shopping crowds on the day before Christmas...

Haha, I know what you mean! I still had some shopping to do on the 24th in the morning. Ugh...what a nightmare!

I can remember being in New York City on Fifth Avenue on the 24th- human gridlock, literally unable to move forward or back. Terrifying.
