Description

Here's my contest entry for this event: www.deviantart.com/kitsunegami…

I'm so glad i finished it ;w;


Story explaining the art:


My name is Boreas. I am the incarnation of the God himself, the Norse Cold Wind. As my name tells, I should love winter... But the truth is completely different.

Winter is the season which brings me tears of sadness, and pain. And I, Boreas, will explain why: ...


I had a friend. A best friend named Yukia. She was amazing, she was the best friend I could dream of. Well... Actually... She was my only friend. The only person I could trust. I met her during the winter, several years before. She loved to play in the snow, to slide on the ice, to watch the aurora borealis, which were pretty rare, but amazing... We forged an amazing friendship together. I needed her, and she needed me.


During a Winter night, when the full moon was glowing with all her glory, we were sitting together in front of a lake. I felt her fur against mine, I saw her sparkling eyes, I heard her little heart beating faster and faster... We promised something to eachother, this night. We promised that we would never abandon eachother. We had an amazing link. We sealed our promise under the most beautiful aurora borealis we saw in our lives. But.... This promise didn't last long...

Last year, during the winter, Yukia died. Hunters killed her, in front of my eyes. It was an accident. Then didn't even notice that they touched her. They didn't hear my screams in the snow storm. They didn't hear my pain, when my best friend closed her eyes for eternity. When I understood that I was going to lose her, I made my last promise to her. I promised that I would become a deity, for her, to achieve her dreams, to create a world without violence and pain.

This art you see there, is the incarnation of what I'm doing every winter. I travel, every year, to the place where we made our promise. One star is always glowing more at this time of the year, for me. It's Yukia. I know she is still following me. Sometimes, I suddenly start to cry, letting crystal tears fall in the snow, and sometimes... I see in the sky, 2 constellations, which are.. Moving ? And when I concentrate, I can clearly imagine that it is Yukia and I, running through the clouds, the stars, running to achieve our goal together.

But... One time... I thought that I was dreaming... Again, when I saw 2 spirits made of stars and snow, dancing together in front of the lake. Were they... Yukia and I ?


I never knew. But I'm not alone, I know that Yukia is still here, with me, even if I can't feel her heart beat anymore...

This is a precious art piece. I love all the setting, the character, the background, the aurora borealis, the constellations, the illusion of the foxes on the snow. It's full of details beautifully connected by the story. It's a sad story, but the melancholy feel to it makes it lovely and moving.
I've loved seeing North Cold Wind again, I'm so happy you are already making art of him ^^

Thank you so much Zauri <3 I'm still SO glad I won him, because I connected with him really easily, and I will work hard with him so one day he can become a deity <3

Yes, I never draw something if it's not a little hint with a character's past, or future, etc x) I wanted to bring emotions to this art, and I think I succeeded haha x')

I won't stop to make art of him ! I just love him so much already, he's so precious, and I will continue to love him <3

Je crois avoir été la seule à me pencher sur un art triste pour ce concours, mais je voulais exprimer ça avec Boreas, donc c'est parfait ^^
