| My original sketch was entirely different than how this piece turned out, but the initial concept never changed. I took advantage of the illustration board's white space, manipulating it as snow. As detail-heavy as parts of this piece are I didn't feel scenic pressure to complete the body of Frost. The anthropomorphic trees and rocks that sigh and bleed, in deathly distress, accompany the mistress on her chilling journey into the afterlife. The image of the man Frost was very much inspired by the look of Gary Oldman's character in Bram Stoker's Dracula and the title was inspired by Pink Floyd's haunting song Terminal Frost. |
