Description Where these two live, it rarely ever gets cold enough for it to snow. So when it does snow, it's important to get out and enjoy it <3


Done in one sitting. Make no mistake, that background was hand done B] best cheap blurred city background I've done yet, I must say.

This was a nice break from other obligatory artwork.
fff this week in finals week for us college students.

All in one sitting, huh? I must say, this is pretty damn nice.

I can see where it gets a bit rough/unrefined in some spots, but strangely enough, I think that adds to the atmosphere. It feels like a moment that could be whisked away at any provocation. All the more to want.

I am really liking the mix between transparent snow and distant, glistening city lights. They way they play off each other, and occasionally blend together, give it the kind of intensely withdrawn atmosphere that makes my chest warm.

Sorry for a blabbery comment, but this is gorgeous. The kind of picture that inspires good feelings. When it starts snowing more heavily here, I think I'll take a few walks downtown to see if I can't relive some of these visuals myself.

kissing couples optional but encouraged

It's okay! He has Averil to warm them up for him if they get too cold!

ThaddeusGrey In reply to Manamaraya [2009-12-04 23:49:22 +0000 UTC]

That's the cutest thing I've imagined in weeks.
Haha, I can just see them after they come inside--Tu sitting on the floor in front of the couch and Averil sitting behind him, rubbing his ears between her hands to warm them up while they watch one of the Christmas classics on TV ^^
I wish I had time to draw but I have sooo much to doooo ):

Hey mandy, do your ears get cold in calgary?

If you have extra large ears do your ears get EXTRA COLD?

How do muts wear earmuffs?
THINK ABOUT THAT.

Manamaraya In reply to RachelCurtis [2009-12-04 21:01:59 +0000 UTC]

HAHA WELL, the good thing is, where tu lives, minus 5 is considered ridiculous. But that's not cold enough for ears to get that nasty cold that penetrates the cartilage, so it's awwight.

However, ~feralgrinn mentioned somewhere the awesome idea of having little ear mittens 8D

The lighting and colours in this are beautiful...I love how you've managed to make it look wintery and cold as well as heart warming and cosy =w= The textures are wonderful and I especially love the grainy effect of the snow :>

Aww, I really want it to snow now. We keep getting snowclouds but it hasn't gotten anywhere under 40 degrees (Fahrenheit, at least; I think that's ~4.5 Celsius?) yet. ;_____;

Regardless, I think it's the composition and background that really really appeals to me here. This is a quite excellent picture. :>

haha we've already had a few snowfalls here--and it's really cold ; u;! I'm not a fan of winter, myself haha!
And thank you so much! Super happy you like it :]

Yeah, I normally can't stand the cold, but I'm willing to put up with it if there's snow involved~ It's actually snowing for the first time this season as I'm typing this, but it started out as rain so there's no way it's going to stick with all those giant puddles. ;w;
