Artist's Comments
The Snow Maiden, or Snegurochka, is an old Russian fairytale of an elderly couple that had the dream of having a daughter. One day, after a fresh snowfall, the couple fashioned a girl out of the snow and she magically came to life. But as the seasons changed from winter to spring, the Snow Maiden became increasingly sad. When summer came, the girl was in a deep depression. One day, while wandering the woods, the Snow Maiden came upon a group of girls. She began to hike with them until after dark, when the woods became colder and the girls built a camp fire to warm themselves by. Watching the girls jump over the camp fire one at a time, the Snow Maiden lept across the fire as well, but before she reached the other side of the fire she disappeared into little more than a watery mist.
I like the story, but I can't say I'm crazy about this piece. I'm satisfied with the hair, but the face just seems off to me. It's too feline for my liking. Ah well, whatever. I hope you like it anyway.  Thanks in advance for all comments and support. Have a happy New Year!  Charcoal on 90 lb. paper 16" x 18" Ref. Model: Elin S. Minor curve adjustments in PS Original available for purchase. Note me for pricing. |

 reports, 20h 16m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

I think it's the lack of shading around the nose that got me on this one. It makes it look... maybe... too flat? But when I increased the shading it just made it look that much more off. I dunno.
But thank you.
