Description Once upon a time there was a princess whose knight went to war.. and every day she`d ride to the borders of her kingdom staring at the horizon waiting for him to return...
*gets hit by a cheese*

Well I don`t know if he returned or not but I felt like drawing a winter melancholic scene...and a peco >_>;

I blame .. she sent me all these tracks that make me imagine winter sceneries.. ..wait what`s the plural of "scenery?"
Pay her a visit by the way! She has really eye-catchy style!

Art Rage2 (this thing is addicting as hell)
Photoshop CS2 for background and colour adjusting and the damn snowflakes
About 5 hours >>a

Princess Aries Faithas belongs to me ..she looks like few years older here lol
The peco belongs to Gravity the company behind Ragnarok Online !
Lol I better come up with something autumn-ish next time xD;;

I love the blurry parts you've left, you should do that more often, they have a charm of their own Love the feathers too and as a whole I would say your style msut've changed a bit, I can't quite explain why I think so though XD I think that it would be better if the details in the features on her face weren't so sharp because it's a bit sudden compared with the rest of th picture. But anyway, still a nice piece, good job

Really great artwork! By the way, the plural form of 'scenery' is just that, 'scenery'.

XD I thought she seemed to have grown up a bit here too.. Think its how the face looks a bit more womanly than a young girl, but can still tell its Aries!

I like her winter clothes here XD I want to steal the hood, yo!~ Plx? >>

And the Pecobo is cute XD aww sticking its beak into the picture cause it wanted in too T__T

Great job on the whole winter scene (you make me cold in summer! ) I really like the snow... +_+ You brought snow to a californian ;__;! >>; No really though you do good at the winter scenes..and the symbolism with the gloominess (or tragedy..though in this case its just gloomy D8 ) and on your birthday too! Does this mean this pic is a gift to yourself? 8D
