Submitted for AFC winter postcard contest in deviantart

A solitary immortal spirit, he sleeps during the rest of the year and woke up at winter. With the snowflake charm he called upon snow.

Winter Prince is a character that's been hanging on the back of my had for the past few months.
At first I was going to make him a cold and distant character but found that it didn't suit the theme. He's still a solitary figure, but it's because of his role as the guardian of winter.

After a dozen sketches and 2 unfinished paintings, I finally settle on this one. It's been hard realizing the concept. Even now there's still so much I want to work on, but the deadline is near and I got to call it quit ^^

Photoshop, around 30 or more hours (one and a half week)
