The Snow Queen

This is an Illustration based on the Fairy Tale "The Snow Queen" in my vision. The original story is by Hans Christian Andersen.

As with all the other Illustrations in this collection I'm doing my influence on the original stories. I went with a different rendering style with the painting taking on a more smooth look. I wanted both children to be of a normal flesh tone color and the Snow Queen herself to be almost deadlike and cold. Kay has the appearance as being bewitched by the queen herself and Gerta is to be his hero later in the story. This is a more conceptual painting based on the story of it.
