Description
This is a Swedish girl named Filippa (A Greek name that means "friend of horses"). Her dress was inspired by the beautiful Dala horse sculptures.I have to give a great big thanks to for his help on the dress! He had a lot of great ideas that helped me to avoid tackiness! XD So I'd say the dress design is between 55 and 62.5% his! XDDD
I always enjoy critiques and comments!

I love the trees and snow falling, the design of the dress is very nice and unusual, and contrasts well with the snowy background!

Beautiful, I love her eyes and her dress, and the falling snow!
Just a small correction, Filippa is not a swedish name, it's a greek name! 
ΦίλιΟΟΞΏΟ (Filippos) [filos + ippos = friend + horse] the friend of horses.

Here is my comment at long last! I know you were waiting for it. I would have commented on it when I first saw it shortly after I woke up, but we know how that works out. Anyway:
WOW-wee! Am I trapped in a Swedish winter wonderland of magic?! No, I'm on deviantART but this picture makes me wish I was! This looks like a fun Christmas card! Your anatomy is getting better and I LOVE the dress design which is to be expected because it was 62.5% my idea. I also love the snowflakes and how they vary in soft to bold if that makes any sense. Now for the critique, and there is only one qualm I have. I think that this looks a little two dimensional. I would put more values on the snow and trees and more color on the snow! From someone who has an unnatural love of color, I would expect you to litter the snow with light colors. For shame... I think you could push the values of the body as well, especially in the braid. None the less it's still as lovely as the first snow of the season! Or my face!

Well your face is the same colour as the first snow of the season! XD
Thank you so much Boochi! I think I may make this into a Christmas card!

ooooo-oooh! preeetty! I love her dress and the way she really POPS out from the background; good job not making her blend in. and I like your snowfall--it's irregular, as snowfall should be.
the only crit I have is transitioning the shading on the background snow a little more smoothly. right now it looks blocky when it wraps around the trees. her eyes also look slightly surprised, I dunno why. XD. perhaps smaller, more centered pupils would help the expression?
homg. Ariadne hair. *Shot shot shot to death*
teehee. it's purdyful.
*scuttles off to read Invisible Man*

Thank yooouuu! and thanks for the critiques!
haha! I didn't even think of Ariadne when I did that! XD The braid just looked...Swedish to me! and a ribbon seemed to be nice accent! ^^
I've finished my AP lit books finally, of course that's because I read Jane Eyre last summer! XD, but now I'm working on Lives of a Cell...which is REALLY interesting surprisingly!

I still have to read half of Jane Eyre, the Aeneid, Invisible Man, and Chronicles of a Death Foretold... and two art projects. YAYYYY.
I can do it.

CoDF is REALLY quick! I finished in a total of four hours! XD SO of course you can! ^^

Well, this picture is much better than your grammar (disgust)!! Color scheme is great, the background contrasts the dress well. Thank you for not putting the character in the center of the picture. Dress design is gorgeous, and the hair is too. My only suggestion is PLZTHX new and different interesting poses. Almost all the pictures in your gallery are of people standing facing the viewer. 8D Work on some action poses or something, with side profiles. Kthx. Favetime.

YAY!!! A flann-sama fave!!! You rock Flann-Sama! You're TEH inspirational and I nearly had a heart attack when you faved!!! 8D *crazy antics*
But in all seriousness! XD Thanks!! I was remembering what you said when I moved her to the side! My next deviation may be a super special awesome sword fight or the like! 8D Or maybe that will come after the completion of art trades! lol!
