 "Snøfnugg" = Norwegian for snowflakes
why? Because it sounds adorable~

  Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone!!    

While working on the lines I wasn't sure if I should use my watercolour or normal style. I imagined it with watercolours but I also haven't drawn in my normal style in a while. I still choose watercolours because now I have a reason to make a Spring and Summer artwork with Avarus and Saira in that style as well. :3c

Also first I wanted to give Avarus a nice red shirt - you know I love him in red - but he looked too dark so he got a red scarf instead. I love his outfit here~ ♥



And as every year* a small shout out to those who supported me with small and big comments, little chats and whatnot!
            

But of course also thanks to everyone else for the support!!!  

*I thought I did that every year but I forgot it last year... Aah well.



btw I got fever over night, just in case you're wondering why I'm not answering~


Enjoy~

yours, Isi

They are a good couple :3c

awww I'm glad you want to know more about them!!

In this journal: Character Profiles (+ ask/talk to them) you can find a short information about both (they are the first two characters). Maybe that's a good start to get to know them. Else you could look through Saira's gallery www.deviantart.com/isi-daddy/g… there you can find a lot of couple/duo pieces with both :3c


and thanks <3

Am I late? Of course I'm hehe

First at all thank you so much <3333 I feel special  


Ooooooooh I'm very excited right now to see spring and summer in this style!!!! 

Lemme tell ya about this outfit!!! sorry Saira I love you but I'm in love with Avarus  everything is so chic but not so much in the same time!! Remembers me a little of vitorian age with this Cape??? And this gold "pin" but the scarf is a little modern, it's too beautiful!!!

Saira looks so adorable!! With this light blue and HER face!!!

Idk if is the poncho but she looks with cold what again is freaking adorable!!! I also loved her hat T-T and all those fur <333 

It's a really good drawing for winter

No, you're not late you came just in time. Like a wizard

You ARE special, special friend


YES; I KNOW RIGHT?! I love Avarus outfit so much, I just love it.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's something you can find in the Victorian Age, it's usually often my inspiration for clothes. This time I didn't look for references at all but it's probably still always in my mind xD


Saira's face is melting everyone adfsgdfg


Thank you so much for your sweet comment!! <33

Ahhhhhhhhh!! Do I see an even cuter Saira than usual?? She's so bundled up and has the most adorable smile, not to mention this angle makes her look so darn tiny standing next to Avarus!! >u<

Isi-Daddy In reply to StrangelyShiny [2019-12-31 16:38:48 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I made her extra adorable here, probably the way Avarus sees her all the time :3c (ok most of the time when she's not annoyed :'D)

that was the purpose of that angle, to make her look even smaller! x'D Thanks so much <33

I absolutely love this piece. Your watercolour style is stunning and I’m so pleased to see you using it for your cuties. It creates such lovely effects when the “colours” run into each other. I also particularly love the way Saira’s eyes are in this picture—she looks so eager and happy. It warms my heart.   

The background is also really beautiful.   I like how, although it’s blurred, we can still see the trees, the beautiful lampposts and the snow. I also can see the corner of a stall and the gingerbread hearts, so I’m thinking that these two went to a Christmas market.

And, finally, I have to mention that the outfits here are amazing. Although we love the characters in their usual outfits, it’s so nice to see them in different clothes. The details on Avarus’ scarf and Saira’s belt and mantle are exquisite—but I have to admit that my favourite part is Avarus’ cloak!   

Thank you for the Shout out and I hope that you had a very merry Christmas!

Isi-Daddy In reply to CelestialInk [2019-12-30 23:10:30 +0000 UTC]

It was a successful experiment and I'm happy I had the guts to also use that on my own characters. I know I was afraid for a couple of weeks

This piece was actually a redraw of a very old piece I did last year or in 2017. I need to show you


just a market, don't forget there is no Christmas in my world


I'm totally in love with Avarus' outfit here. I was planning to redraw the outfits of the first Christmas picture I did, but then I changed my mind with Avarus and it wasa good decision.


Thank you for the detailed feedback <3

Aw Isi, happy Holidays! I hope you are having a wonderful and peaceful time with your friends and family <3


Such a lovely winter themed piece! Yeah, going with watercolors to make 4 seasons of images is a great idea, can't wait to see the other two in teh future This one looks so cozy, with the cup of hot wine / chocolate? I really love the soft effect of teh steam coming out of the cup and the warm breath, too. It's the little details that makes the mood for the piece for me Avarus' scarf is SO LOVELY, I love the snowflakes on it, and Saira looks so cute in this blue, it matches her eyes so nicely And the bracelets on his writs contrast so much with the whole outfit, the beads so colorful, I wonder if there's a story to it?

before I answer I need to say that I love your frozen Melon icon xD You have a melon for each season, do you? xD


Thank you! Sadly I was ill, so it was very peaceful with me sleeping all day long :'D I hope you had a great time with your family and friends as well <3

And thanks for the lovely detailed comment, I'm glad you like it! Yes, Saira is drinking mead :3c

Yes, there is a story behind his bracelet , that I can't tell yet. :3c It's a little secret, and probably one that drives on of my friends crazy because she tries to find it out xD

HAhah thanks Xd Nah, just Halloween, frozen for winter holidays and basic green/red one so it's always a big mix this time of the year


Maybe you sometimes need very slow and peaceful holidays like this?


I had mead yesterday. A lot of it. I had fun as well, same as Saira XD

Oh so it's a secret? interesting

It is almost the same on Danish we call them snefnug just a bit of random trivia for you :'D 
What a nice little Christmas piece ^V^ You are getting very good with the watercolours I love how the green, blue and white nuances are working together in this piece ^V^ Saira looks so adorable holding her hot cocoa :3 Having Avarus' wristband in there creates a huge contrast which is pretty nice  
Hahahahaha; yes, now we need a spring and summer too X'D 

Thank you so much for the shout out it means a lot :3 <3 

I hope you get well soon <3

I knew you'd mention the Danish word x'D It sounds so super adorable, first I just wanted to call it Winter Wonderland, but when I saw Snøfnugg I couldn't resist :'D

Thank you!!! I actually destroyed the watercolour effect with the first version of the background. Avarus and Saira looked so good and then I put too many textures into the trees that it looked weird,so I had to redo everything to make it look nice :'3

Avarus' rainbow bracelet is always so eye catching :'D


Of course, you're such a good friend!! :3c <3

Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better than 2  days ago, but I still feel a little dizzy every now and then :'3

Yep I am predictable X'D 
It is such a cute word I agree  
Awww damn :'3 sometimes that happens :'D that's one tricky thing about backgrounds in my experience (very humble experience but still :'D) you can easily overdo it :'3 
That it is for some reason it is even more so here :'D 

N'aaaw thank you :'D 
Well a bit dizzy sometimes is better than being it all the time I gather :'D so progress :'D

Oh my goodness, this scene is just too cute! That watercolor style gets better with every picture! I absolutely love the textures and the lovely cool winter colors! Saira's smile is just lovely and Avarius looks so good in profile
Ah!! this picture just feels like winter and I love it!
I feel so honored being mentioned despite only being talkative recently X'D Seriously though, thank you! I really enjoy all of our many ongoing conversations and look forward to more Have a very Merry Christmas! I hope its a good one!

aah thank you I'm glad to hear that!! I actually destroyed the watercolour feeling with the first background. I really love how Avarus and Saira turned out but then I put to many textures in the background and everything was lost, so I had to redo the background again :'D

I know we're not talking for such a long time, but we're already talking so much that it was definitely worth a mention x'D I just hope that I didn't miss anyone I wrote that being half delirious x'D Ohh I'm sure there will be more, I saw you recent new pieces and I wanna leave some comments onto them. I just need to gain some more energy for everything again xD

Thanks, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!

You're super welcome!! Oh man, I know that feeling :'D You have too much fun with textures and it ends up overtaking the foreground so you have to abandon it and try again :'D It always hurts to lose all that work, but the end product definitely looks beautiful! It doesn't overtake the foreground and really compliments it
Awh, I'm so glad our short time knowing each other is worth a mention! X'D I understand that, and I'm rooting for you that you got everyone Heck yes! I saw the new ones and I'll be looking forward to more!
