Artist's Comments

So it seems I manged to finish another work. The title refers to the words of the house Stark, from George R.R. Martin's fantasy cycle A Song of Ice and Fire... but apart form that has not much to do with these books. Maybe somewhat inspired.
Just my impression of winter...

Some photo references used.

Behold the closeups!

.winter is coming. by ~maudt : When looking at this piece, one can actually feel the icy wind or the cold snow and hear the crows' cawing. The character's eerie appearance makes these feelings even more intense. Besides the great atmosphere, it is crucial to mention the wonderful painting technique the artist is showing here. Beginning from the choice of colours, through blending and shading, to the special light effects, everything here is perfectly worked over. (Suggested by ~Morinoki and Featured by `nighty)
