"Blinded by Winter": Dark Whispers' December "I Can't See" Challenge

This is for the Dark Whisper Challenge at DigitalWhisper .  Although winter can be a beautiful time of year, I have trouble seeing the beauty through the ice and bitter cold that accompany it.  This year, so far, is no different.

Model is Ida Mary Walker (a.k.a. Mizzd-Stock at deviantArt). Winter background is by NeedANewName at deviantArt. Many textures used in this piece, all my own creations and photos.

Thanks for looking!

Where's my inspiration?

How I'm feeling today. Enough said.

The model is Jessica Truscott (a.k.a. FaeStock at deviantArt), background is by FaerieGoodMother at deviantArt.  All work done in Photoshop CS6.

Art Journal page for the day

Need I say more?  Hoping that tomorrow is a MUCH better day...

Winter's Return

I was inspired by our weather forecast to create this tonight. Snow is supposed to start falling within the next couple of hours here in Minnesota, and we're looking at about 12 inches of accumulation. I am not ready for this.  To say I'm not really excited about winter's return is an understatement...This past winter was brutal and long, and I'm hoping that this winter isn't as bad.  We shall see what happens...

Helter Skelter Challenge

This is for the Helter Skelter challenge at DigitalWhisper. I was a very small child when Charles Manson had so many people murdered, so I don't remember anything about the actual events.  When I got older I saw a documentary about Charles Manson and the murders and I was horrified at how evil a person could be.  When I saw this challenge posted I immediately wanted to steer clear of any blood and violence, instead focusing on the sorrow  that such darkness and evil leave behind. I hope it came through in this piece.
