Hello everyone! *candy hugs*

~The final days of winter leave their mark with frosty air and falling snow. Yet through the flurries and coldness, one can still remain warm. Though February is the month when Winter says goodbye to us, it is also the month when Love warms us~


In continuation with my monthly themes, I realize that many of you don't experience similar weather or even similar time of season that is portrayed in my walls. I must say that the monthly themes cover weather patterns for northeastern USA and a bit midwestern USA and parts of Europe. I apologize for this, but I am sure that many of you still enjoy and have fun with the walls :)

~About the Wall~
I admit this wall was the hardest wall that I have done thus far. I am still not happy with how it turned out :sweat: Has taken a week to do and about over 140 layers. Yes, my laptop is running really slow. Yes, I do all of my walls on my laptop ^_^'

Hardest Parts
----The rocks. They came from another scan here at MT and each rock was individually placed and altered and modified to give depth perception.
----The river. Making it look like it is meandering into the distance and actually being frozen. That is ice that you see :) Everything around it had to get a reflection onto the ice though it is hard to see some of the reflections because of the snow drifts that are piled on the ice.
----Snow. Having snow on everything >_< Snow on rocks, snow fluffed up on sides of rocks, snow on ice, snow on trees, snow on scan, snow here, snow there to even the cute, little snow clumps at the heels of the footprints.

Hard Parts
----The bridge. Though the original bridge was a stock photo, adding the snow onto it was annoying.
----Shadows. More annoying :D

Fun Parts
----Those cute caribou. Coloring them and placing them ^^
----The sky.

**NOTE**
----Of course, much gratitude to Mizu-megami for her gracious thoughts and opinions
----Thanks to Tantaga for the idea of being focused on details and that cute detail of adding footprints in the snow
----And much thanks and appreciation for all your comments, suggestions, and enjoying my wall

So as I always say--Please enjoy my wall ^_^

    *Swoons* this is THE BEST wall I've seen from you Emma... its just jawdroppingly gorgeous! Guess whats going on my desktop right now! XD
    I really love it!
    The details are perfect, looooove the trees, the reindeer you put in, the stones, the little tistles of grass - and oh my the footsteps!
    It all fits so perfectly and the composistion is just extremely good with the scan.

    Your BEST work Emma! BEST!
    You are so good at walling, its unbelivable how you progress so fast! XD
    *im jealous*

    *waits for full view*

    O_O Holy cow...Wooow...this is amazing! I agree with Sumomo-chan...this is definitely your best wallie so far! 140 layers...wow! Hehe, I do my walls on a laptop too, so I know how slow it must have been going. -_- Mine starts slowing down after about 25 layers haha.

    But anyway, this is just amazing. The rocks are really well done, and I love the bridge. The trees are perfect, and the sky is sooo beautiful..and all the snowy details and everything is just...wow!

    AMAZING wall!

    How terribly romantic. :) It reminds me of the final scene from 'House of Flying Daggers'. :)

    Emma this wallpaper is absolutely stunning! The details on this wallpaper are what first captured my attention.
    The rocks, bridge, brook, grass blades, and caribou are PERFECT! Love the colors of the sky as well. It really brings out the warmth and balances well with the characters' outfits.

    The trees on the right side look fine to me, though the ones on the left seem a bit too dark for the tone of the wallpaper. They give great perspective though. The snow beneath them also needs more shading since it is a hillside and the sun is setting on the opposite side. I'd also love to see some caribou hoofprints as well, but then again I love details to death. XD I'd have to agree with Sumomo that this is definitely your best work. Your patience with it really shows!

    And I know exactly what you mean about the weather... I'm so ready to move out of New England.

    Hmmm, i'm surprised the snow isn't melting... (*^.^*) And I'm not surprised it took you so many layers, adding snow to anything(and making it look good) is a pain in the arse. (>.<) the snow and frost patterns on the river rock!
