Seasons greetings

Seasons greetings from Hitsugaya and miss Elli!

I wanted to have Hitsugaya in a Winter scene because:
1. We FINALLY got some snow and it's amaizingly cold outside (-15 C or 5 F). If it was up to me it would always be Winter!
2. It's almost Christmas (yay!)
3. Hitsugaya's birthday is almost here!

The lineart was done by ~Magini [link] . So once again a BIG thanks to her for letting me use her awesome lineart!

For the background I used a brush set made by ~PurlyZig [link] . The brushes are based on images of actual snowflakes. It's real snow, people!!

This one took me quite a lot of time. I now remember why Ctrl+Z is my best friend I also tried various of new techniques with the hair and the clothes so I was a bit slow. But I'm glad I did try! I think the hair and the clothes look more natural compared to the ones I've done before.

The contrast between Hitsugaya and the background was (obviously) done intentionally. Hopefully it doesn't look akward!

PS. The image is 1024x785 so it can be used as wallpaper too ^^

Hitsugaya is a character from Bleach and belongs to Kubo Tite.
