Description
This is a short recap of my deviation Frozen Valley (you can find the proper stock credits at the original).The images included in this guide have been assembled to form a looping animation which can be found here
It is based on a post in my photomanip blog, which can be found here .
I hope this helps you some - just don't expect a walkthrough. If there are points that you would like me to elaborate on, please tell me which!

Haha, it's funny how you made a norwegian winter look serene. It's actually no fun. At all. Trust me on this one.
Anyways; beautiful art!

I'm not much of a winter person and can't find much fun in our German winters - so I do believe you

Amazing! But this is not a hut, this is a Norwegian church.

Nice work,
the only thing i needed to comment is that this is not a norwegian hut, it's an old church from the year 1350

What a great tut! Just what I needed. If and when I finish the manip I'm working on right now ("dancing on ice" thing) I'll send you the link if you like. In the mean time I just wanted to let you know that you helped me out on a tricky point or two!

they do look identical. Which leaves me wondering if you read the introductory paragraph at all... if you think that beyond trying to figure out how to do certain stuff by creating a copy, this was actually worth uploading, it's your prerogative

I understand, i apologize if they looked exactly the same i studied the approach and used the same stocks so i can better understand the tutorial. i tried to put in my own approach to it but i think its not good enough, ill try to make them better next time.sorry about that.

it's not about "good enough" - it's about originality. If you think it's original enough to be in your dA gallery, when all you did was copy a tutorial that wasn't meant to be taken word-by-word in the first place, then okay. I am just a bit disappointed that all my tutorial seems to have been good for was to use the three stocks I used and basically copy the image. You wouldn't have needed a tutorial for that in the first place. If you're happy showing the world how well you can do that though, I won't be the one to tell you to take it down.

hmmm, it's very hard to say. it may be any of the options you listed depending on my overall mood I guess. For this one, I think I got so lost in my "one-million-ways-to-colour-this" that I ended up asking my boyfriend 
So mostly, I tend to go with gut feeling. Sometimes I will also consider which colour would fit the mood I am aiming for best (so here more blue tones instead of the purples mixed in to make it more lonely and cold). But there is no "one way" really

I've found myself staring at lineart wondering about the mood/setting/atmosphere and the billion different ways to color... xD;;;
I guess gut/instinct really does play a huge role in getting things done
Thanks for sharing!

how to colour is one of the more enjoyable puzzles in art - at least for me. I may get lost in the possibilities, but at least I see them and I don't just stare at blank canvas wondering where my inspiration and creativity went at that point any more

Great tutorial as always. You have a wonderful ability to express how you went about the process without getting too far into the weeds--leave the details to the artist to discover. A definite
