Description The Winter Fairy is the biggest of the four fairies, standing at about 10 feet tall. She remains fixed to the ground and helps any travelers who get lost in the cold mountains.

One of my final pictures I did for college.

Well, this picture would have been coloured in like the others but my teacher didn't want me to no idea why. I think he wanted me to use paints the colour it but like I said with the spring one, I would have butchered the picture. Thankfully he didn't mind it being just lineart.

If you're wondering about the wibbly line work it was actually done with dry point. It's my only piece with no Photoshop work added to it and it technically took the longest (only because I had to wait in line to use the printer >.< )
Scratching the line work onto plastic took about 2 days, and waiting for the printer took 3 weeks but using the printer only took one afternoon.

Pose was inspired from one of my random sketchbook covers, design of dress and general layout was faintly inspired by a picture from DA, (I'll have to find the name of the artist, I found the picture 2 years ago and I can't remember her username… ) and snowflakes were copied from pictures from Google.

She is lovely! <3
I must say I adore her designing; specially on the wings.
Kudos to you my friend! I worship your inking skills on paper (Photoshop too). ; n;
I cannot ink on paper to save my life. I have really shaky hands. > n >

thank you so much!
actually i didn't use any paper to ink this (well, i used paper to print it of course X3 ) but the actual line work was scratched onto a thin piece of plastic using a needle then it was covered in black ink and pressed onto paper to get what you see now
but yeah, i can't say i'm much better with inking on paper, my hand's gotten so shaky! but your inking work is brilliant! way better then what i can ink on the computer!

Your welcome.
Oh my gawd, are you serious? That is so AWSOME! D':
No wonder the lines look so clean and neat!

Yeah, having shaky hands makes me sad.
Awww, thank you. But it sometimes takes me so long to do just one line cos I mess up terribly. Thank goodness there is an undo button.

You did this in college. This really good . I love it . So she's the biggest of the four fairies. That's great! I love how you gave each fairy their own feature and character .
