Carnelian Winter Sunrise

An older wall of mine, but one I am fond of. Thought I would repost it here seeing as winter will be coming soon. I've copied the original desciption I had when I posted it over at Minitokyo. Enjoy.

Anyway, decided to make another scenery wall - with the winter season in mind, I made it snow. How original :P . When I came across the scan of her while browsing through Minitokyo's Carnelian images (*thanks goes to the submitter of this lovely scan ) I immediately thought she looked like she belonged in a peaceful farm-like atmosphere ... this is most likely due to her pigtail braids, clothing, and overall cuteness :) .

This wall is named "Winter Sunrise" for as you can see the girl is emerging from the barn after tending to the animals inside right as the sun begins to rise ... then off to go to one of those overly optimistic happy-go-lucky schools you frequently witness in anime. Or at least that is the little story I came up with to go with this wall.

The setting is obviously on a farm out in it's little corner of the world. The mountains can be seen at a distance while the sun rising sets a gentle glow upon the fresh snow from last night's storm. The snow still swishes through the surroundings and continues to fall while accompanied by the usual morning mist.

Oh yes, I am on a roll XD . Wall was made using brushwork & stock photos. It took me about 6 hours in total ... one of those hours was spent staring at it seeing what was missing though ... meh I'm a perfectionist sometimes. Bleh, making snow textures on the ground is difficult ... I had fun making the footprints though. I think I like those a little too much . This would be my second scenic wall ... yay?
