Description






It was funny how peaceful dying was, and how strange how warm was the snow.
It would have been rather nice if not for the regret that his family wouldn't know what happened; but with due time he was sure he'd have the opportunity to tell them.Β 
But as the snow covered him, with his head down, Seireadan could tell there was a presence before him. Looking up, he saw the forest, so much like the ones at home.Β 
Maybe there was a chance he could see them again. He didn't question it and crawled forward.

submitting last minute before the event ends yo, just call me last minute birdy

Gonna agree with the consensus here: the sound and snow effect are fantastic touches.

Aw, thank you! It's funny though, I rushed this and fudged up so bad on the foliage. I spent days researching NYC in the 1850s, then ended up not showing any of the street scene because of the composition. And then there was the compression issues and hahahaha....v @ Β and I had done this exact same gimmick before to boot XDΒ Nanuk Β 

I was thinking about streaming animation! I can take requests maybe?

Pfft, yes, I am! I enjoy it very much even if I can't do a lot of art for it. This was for a mini event prompt about how your character is introduced to the setting. The other submissions are worth checking out as well, some people did whole animatics. v @

I am so digging that at least three of you chose animations. Really nicely done.

Haha, why do a plain picture when you can go spend hours on an animation instead? XD And thanks!

^v^ Thank you! I know what it's like to be freezing in the cold at night and in the city to boot, so it got channeled into this.
