Description ...but the snow and ice back in Valinor wasn't this cold, was it? >_<
Sorry, I felt like parodying a dramatic line. *SHOT*

Anywayyy...that's Argon, not Gil. Looks like Gil, doesn't he? I think his hair is too neat... and too green... how the heck did it become that color? XD

Late birthday greetings to my beloved sibs and !

I hadn't planned on merging gifts; but when I was trying to draw an 'epic' pose for Argon alone on the Helcaraxe (yeah, most creative gift idea ever) it felt weird. I thought it'd be nicer to have a (sweet? yeah, right) sibling moment instead... so yeah. O3O

Did you notice that the 'lineart' looks sketchy? That's because it IS a sketch. I totally couldn't make proper lineart from this, the sketch always looked SO much better. So I just made the sketch darker and tried to clean it up...

Don't zoom in; I fail at perspective.
And you can't see the rest of Argon's body because... that's Aredhel's cloak between them... fff I only realized how weird it looked (when you noticed it) now. XD

We just aren't used to that kind of expression on little Gil [link]

This is gorgeous. I really, really like the feel of the piece. The cold winter scenery and their determined expressions, along with the way you so the wind, just really works.

They are beautiful, and I love their fiery expression of not giving up.
Aredhel's dress is amazing.
The whiteness and brightness of the background is perfect.

No, he doesn't look like Gil to me. When I saw the drawing, without reading the description etc, I immediately thought of Argon And his hair seems the normal dark blue color to me; not green.
Oh my, Aredhel is wearing a dress with short/no sleeves? She must be so cold... I love how Argon is protecting her here.
You are really good at drawing curved fingers!

I suppose it's the entire Helcaraxe scenery... But thank you for telling me anyway!

Yes, she is wearing that, because I fail at clothes X scenario planning. Thank you still! I don't think it's very good, but you know how they say the artist is their own biggest critic... But no, really, thanks.

I know all about that It's true; I personally am my biggest critic... there's always something bugging me about my drawings. It's a rare thing for me to draw something and be completely and utterly happy with it.

You're very welcome!

Yeah, it seems weird that they would just be wearing those, no? ;A;
Maybe they just started the journey... But then they would've prepared...

True 'nouf.... Maybe it's still the middle of the day, and they're only a mile into it. BTW, off topic, but what time is it for you now? I'm up early, it's about 6:30 am.

Now that would be SOOO cool! Let me know anytime you're randomly in California Though if I tried to explain to Mum, she'd get all suspicious and think it's stalkerish. I have the feeling yours would too. Do you have an email or something? (It's okay if u don't want to share, I know how that is. D)

Yup, I have an email address... thing is though, just asking, what would we do if we share email addresses? (Oh, we could go online in Messenger... I don't know...) Nah, I think dA's okay. XD

I like how they look so fierce. The sketchiness is pretty unnoticeable (i saw it only because I read the description). But poor Aredhel must have freaking freezing cold! D: Good thing Argon is there for her ..

Thanks! I was going to make them both sad, then realized it would be nicer (and more IC, I supposed) to make them angryish instead.

Yep! Family warmth and support <3
