Description So it seems I manged to finish another work. The title refers to the words of the house Stark, from George R.R. Martin's fantasy cycle A Song of Ice and Fire... but apart form that has not much to do with these books. Maybe somewhat inspired.
Just my impression of winter...

Some photo references used.

Behold the closeups!

You have this mastery of skin that invokes such awe. I love the lace poking out at the neck and sleeves, it looks like ice! (Or it is ice? o0)

Love the details on the crow's feathers. Very nice. ^^

The iciness of the eyes is creepy, but it adds that cold, enigmatic element that winter carries.

And congratulations on the Daily Deviation!!

it was the contrast between light and dark in the thumbnail that caught my eye, but i have to admit, it was the title that made me come running to check if it was in reference to Martins books! XD ;;;;;
I've got about 3 chapters left of the first book. i first started reading it because i was thinking to write my own book from the perspective of about 7 different characters, but had never read anything similar before. but now i am really quite caught up in the story. XP
anyways,this is really beautiful. i'm simply amazed at the detail. but i think that the anatomy around the eyes and nose is a tad off. no biggy though.

Swietna praca, chyba twoja najlepsza, bardzo mi sie podoba jej klimat, taka magia zimy ^_^ dosc mroczna XD. Technicznie tez stoi na wysokim poziomie, swiatlo i cien sa ok, fajnie wygladaja twoje prace wysokim kontrascie , twarz rysowana w twoim stylu ale jeszcze ladnieszja i doskonalsza, kiedys ci sie zdarzaly drobna niedosciagniecia ale tu sie nie ma gdzie przyczpic, imo 100% perfekt, troszke tylko mozna by jeszcze popracowac nad cialem wprawdzie duzo zakrywa ubranie, ale mozna by jeszcze te bryle udoskonalic XD.
A i kruk mi sie bardzo podoba, nawet bardzo bardzo XD, jest doskonale narysowany i jeszcze swietnie ci wyszla jego "kraczaca" XD poza.

Gratuluje DD wpelni zasluzone tylko sie dziwie ze masz taka mala favow imo powinno byc najmiej 1000 o.O, no w przyszlosci sie pewnie nazbiera jak wiecej ludzi obejrzy twoja prace ^_^

Beautiful! Definetly inspired, hehe. I saw it in the DD list and the first thing I thought was SoIaF (no, I don't think in acronyms or initials, but it's easier.

Very nice job here, it's spooky and makes you look again and again. I like how she seems to be part of the enviroment...but not completely there.

I was hoping this pic had something to do with SoIaF. Maybe if she stays out in the snow too long she'll be a feast for crows?
