It was a challenge to make this for Azurylipfe's competition 'The Jurei'
I had to read up about japanese ghosts!
Yuki-onna is winter personified. She is at the same time beautiful and serene, yet ruthless in her killing of unsuspecting mortals. Until the 18th century, she was almost uniformly portrayed as evil. Today, however, stories often colour her as more human, emphasizing her ghostlike nature and ephemeral beauty.
In many stories, Yuki-onna reveals herself to travelers who find themselves trapped in snowstorms and uses her icy breath to leave them as frost-coated corpses. Other times, she manifests holding a child. When a well-intentioned soul takes the "child" from her, he or she is frozen in place.
I chose this because I'm rubbish at doing VERY dark things

Y ahí llegó la princesita, a la más alta montaña, donde sueños y alegrías convivian sin temor. Así, corrió sin ningún miramiento,pues su príncipe la esperaba con besos y caricias que la harían sentirse como en su reino,el reino de Nunca Jamás.

This appeals to my northern roots! Snowflakes and dark purpleish colours... This picture feels somehow close to me... And it's a great image as always
I have to fave it!

Holy crow, Moonmomma! This is one of your most terrific pieces. Her eyes are so cold...no warmth at all...which is freakin' awesome! Very well done on the face...you really captured a chilling(sorry...had to do the pun) moment. Excellent work!

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

My head is full of alligators. Little tiny bebe ones, so they can fit.
