Artist's Comments

"A cold winter's tears... they bind me to this world, a soul destined to never find freedom, never justice.. never love."

.x.x.x.

Solstice 8D like, winter solstice. 'cause it's Wynter again, nyarharhar -FAIL-

Wynter's, well, an entity of winter. XDD She wasn't always that way, though, she used to be just a normal girl, of a clan of wolves called the Tisi. But.. well.. the poor girl's had a rather tragic past ;w;'
Her real name is Amireè, which roughly translates to "Maiden of the Roses" in her language, and, as her name suggests, she had an obsession with roses as a young girl. TwT She grew to love them even more than her own friends and family, and after a while, none of them even recognized her; she no longer had that playful, childlike attitude she used to. She was so attached to the roses, she even named them.. ;w; Her favorite she called Takaru, and he was the biggest and prettiest of her flowers. <3 She was.. nearly insane at this point. ;w; and when Takaru started to talk to her, she didn't give it a second thought; she was completely entranced by him.. TwT Even fell in love with him.. the flower's voice calmed her, soothed her.. poor thing, she didn't even consider that anything could be wrong.

But it turned out...that Takaru was actually a dark entity of sorts, that the flower was possessed by a dark spirit, and that THAT was the voice speaking to her. ;w; It was all a cruel trick to break her heart.. and.. it succeeded. To end his heartless game, as one final insult, he transformed her into a bodiless soul, a wandering spirit...of winter, no less. And.. TwT If she ever tried to touch even one of her beloved roses, they would wilt and die in her hands. She remains immortal and ageless, and watched helplessly as her family and friends died before her.. TTwTT Poor thing, she was so heartbroken by it that she wanders forever, to this day...alone.


I tried to keep the colors really simple, because.. she's just a spirit and has no solid form. <3 ^^ And.. for some reason I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, so I muted the colors and didn't shade. X'D kinda wanted a different textured effect with this one. I hope it looks okay! ;w;

Anyway, this description is long enough as is. XD I hope you guys all enjoy this, I worked really hard on the details. :heart: ^^

A blissful little picture isn't it? I love the colors you used in this picture, and the expression she holds. So calming. Seems almost like a dream, and a very good one. The simplicity works well with this picture. Makes it come alive! Lovely work, Arytha!

Shoot, Lin, you always make such neat characters. -wantscoolcharactersbuttheyallhavecheesydesigns-
I really like the colors; they're real smooth and pretty, and give off the feeling that Wynter really is a spirit of the icelands. Like I said in the sketch, the rose on her arm is neat, too. I love how it's a black rose ... hurhur ... Black roses for epic winnnn!

Great job, overall, Lin; and oh, thankyouforthebrushesonceagain. They were a giant help for backgrounds and things. -nodnod-
:iconnahamut:

I feel sorry about her being a wandering spirit and not able to touch her beloved roses

Ooh, so great, but so sad... I really like her past, even though it is sad... And, as usual, love the wings! :) And the colors of the tail! (Yes, I do choose random things to pay attention to.... I have a tendency to stupidly ignore the details, lol) You did another great job on this, can't wait to see more!
:iconarytha-ryu:
Aw, thankies Becca! ^^ <33 I'm so glad you like it, hee. :3 I love drawing wings, they're addictive. <3 Wynter only has one, though, and she can't fly with it. ;w; Poor thing.
I'm really glad you like it though! c: And nonsense, your comments are win. >8D :heart:

I thought this was a sort of serene picture at first, but when I read about her I was touched. She really has had a tradgic past... ;_; The colours you chose are most suited for Wynter, her facial expression is rather saddening but regardless I love it~

The blackened rose you illustrated on her front left leg is fitting for what has happened to her. It says to me "Without happiness, roses become dull..." I also love her tail, how it stands out so well because of it's colours.

Her wing; so simple yet so effective how you illustrated it. Lastly, the background is monotoned which is great because it's almost as if Wynter has faded from reality due to what has happened before. You did great on this Ary and I can't wait to see more from you~ X3
