†]|Description|
Frozen wastelands... Deaf'ning Silence...
Can't you hear it calling?
The dirge of the dead, frozen in time...
Come... follow my whisper.
I'm the God of Ice and Silence
My kiss will bring you eternity.

Listen... can't you hear it sing?
Your requiem is screaming,
like the dull whistle between
my sun bleached skull.

Listen to the laugh, from the death frozen grin
as the wind mourns your passing
Come... follow me...
I will show you the gates to my Hell.

Dear lord... 15.3 MB and 2 weeks later I finally got it done. The original size was huge. @.@
Anyways, this is my late contest entry for *cooley's contest. She gave me an extention and I was finally able to finnish it seen as school and everthing else got in the way. There was so much more I wanted to do with this but I couldn't take it anymore and if I went any further he'd be a christmas tree.

Hope you all enjoy my frosty little recreation of my Velkyn.
I havn't picked a name for him, but he is the God of Death, Silence and Ice. (Any suggestions would be lovely)

[Edit]: Is it just me or do I seem to have a fetish with horse skulls?

:heart: I'm so honored to have won the Creature Horse Contest @.@ I was up against some good competition and I just want to congratulate and thank all the competitors and *cooley for hosting it/putting up with my extended deadline XD.
(I still think Heathen by =6298 should have won *.*)

Oooh, he's very fascinating. The more I look at him, the more details I notice and the more creeped out I get. ^^; He's very imposing and ominous, which suits a god of ice and death.

Not sure about a name, but it should probably include at least one "x."

I adore those markings and how the tail just falls apart like that at the end. Very cool design and it's a nice touch that the spikes are transparent :] Very cool critter.

For once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and to there you will always long to return.

lol well I was attempting to make them into icicles... but it didn't work out too good XD. Just a light eraser and the lovely dodge and burn tools made my life a lot easier (didn't have much time ><;)

Muha. Thanks for the lovely comment.
