Description A doll stands in the snow and wonders what the cold feels like.

She's never hungry, never thirsty, never ill, always pristine, always beautiful... but would give all these up to feel the cold.. to feel human.

Just a conceptual sketch I finished off, I started it in the airport in Ireland; coming home from Eirtakon I was dropped off at the airport at 4:30am, it was dark, freezing and raining heavily, worst part was I was taken to the wrong terminal so had to drag my bags round to the other entrance. I though 'what a rubbish way to end a great weekend' then I looked around. In the darkness all the lights of the airport were bright, the heavy rain made them sparkle, and the whole world was dazzlingly reflected in the river which was once the road. It was beautiful. I took a deep breath of fresh, cold air and couldn't help but smile.
Often the things we think are negative can be viewed in a different light if you are prepared to look... cold, sad, hurt might feel bad at the time, but they turn to warm, happy and healed. The doll would do anything to feel them all. Embrace the dark as well as the light.

Peace, love and humanity,
~Blue x

Makes you feel like a doll devoid of all emotions. Why do I almost feel like crying when viewing this?

This is definitely my favourite piece of artwork of yours. I love it so much!

The idea of the doll is perfect. I've had a similar idea in my head but have never really had a chance to do anything with the idea. ~school takes over

The way you shade, your variety of colours, and basically the overall idea of the drawing is amazing.

When I saw this I literally just stopped and stared. I couldn't help but be completely shocked. I've never seen artwork even close to being as good as this. It's gorgeous!

The talent you have is remarkable. I would do anything to be as great as an artist as you.
