Frozen Tears

Description

This is me walking home after exams. :D

Okay, not really. This is Part 3 of Winterreise. I figured out that since my protagonist is female, it's better to listen to Winterreise sung by Brigitte Fassbaender (SHE IS FABULOUS. EVEN MORE FABULOUS THAN FISCHER-DISKAU, SORRY DITRICH.) Absolutely need to watch:

Frozen drops are falling
Down from my cheeks.
How could I have not noticed
That I have been weeping ?
Ah tears, my tears,
And are you so tepid
That you freeze to ice
Like cool morning dew ?
Yet you burst from the wellspring
Of my heart so burning hot,
As if you wanted to melt
The entire winter's ice !

(I skipped 'Die Wetterfahne' because I've got no idea what to do with it yet. I'll illustrate my favourite pieces first, and then come back to the others). So, our little Nightingale has begun her lifelong winter journey. I am not sure if Karliah is actual Karliah here, for I have no experience in drawing crying Dunmer. But I know what is such weather like, more than very well (damn you, climate!), and I like the way I did frost on her scarf. And yes, Karliah's wearing scarf and she will be wearing it until Speaking to Silence: I don't care what Bethesda was thinking about, ONE CAN NOT SIMPLY walk in Skyrim without a scarf. :)

This pic hurt my heart. You really captured Karliah's emotion perfectly and it looked real as well!!

True. One does not simply walk through Skyrim without scarf (or anything warm)
