"What goes together better than cold and dark?"

I loved this movie when I saw it in the theater recently... Twice. Didn't expect it to be as heartfelt, heartwarming, and inspiring as it was.

Happy Christmas Eve again, everybody! Still trying to keep that pencil moving!

Gods! You posted this on the day I watched RoTG for the second time. Why is this movie so awesome? One of Dreamworks greatest.

I bought this from you at ECCC today and OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! I was the Jack Frost who put this on hold and stopped by at the end of Saturday. I'd been looking everywhere for a Jack Frost print and was having no luck :( but then, as I was walking by your booth, I saw this out of the corner of my eye and froze (pardon the pun :P) I started flipping out and bought this and your Artemis print!

there are so many things I love about this picture! Jack's pose and hair texture, the swirls and spikes of Pitch's robe, the colors, how Man-in-the-Moon is there but subtle, everything! I love it and I love your art! you have one very happy customer! :heart:

Aw, you're so sweet! I'm so very glad you loved the piece, and that I was able to meet you when you came back for it. Loved the cosplay. :)

I also laughed at the "froze" pun. Nice. ;)

Their expressions are really well done! I also like how you've done the shading, and how it's based off the moon you've done in the background.

It looks totally amazing! :D I love the composition!

It has a smooth and smokey shading, which gives out out a mysterious feel. I can also see you have your own style, with lots of small, but cool details, like how you gave Jacks hoodie the frosty look. Jacks hoodie flows nicely in the wind, and his pose is full of energy... and it makes me think of freedom. Free like a bird, in the way he holds out his arms like wings.

Pitch's robe is also neat! It looks made out of a thick fabric, and trails after him nicely while he moves. Here, I think it looks like he's just about to turn around, facing his enemies. And that smirk he has on his lips! <3 ...It's not an evil smile though...... to me, it looks like a smile in pain and sympathy... it's something in his eye... I can only imagine Pitch giving Jack that face, only him and no one else.
I love Rise of the Guardians, and what I found most fascinating in the movie, was how Pitch and Jack interacted with each other. In fact, when Pitch asked Jack to join him, he did open himself to him, meaning what he said, and I think you could see the pain in his face. Poor Pitch, he didn't choose his fate...
He's my favourite character, and I think you portrayed him very pretty here!

Gorgeous work! Keep it up! :peace:

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the in-depth comments! :D I'm very glad to know I got so much across so successfully.

I think Pitch feels a connection to Jack, a sort of Kinship, as an outcast that struggles with being believed in. As for his backstory, I haven't read the books so I am largely unfamiliar, but I've heard it is a very sad tale involving his daughter and him having to take a world of evil into his body. While I feel awful for the once human Pitch and his terrible lot, I'm not usually the biggest fan of sympathetic villains. He did not choose his fate, but he later in the course of the movie chose his actions as his way of responding to that fate. Perhaps it is my failure of reading the books that I do not know if fate, in that universe, is something predetermined in its entirety by the Man in the Moon, or if it's something that can be chosen to a certain extent. But I can't help but think... Jack was tempted and had a chance to choose to go bad and join Pitch. Does that mean that Pitch also had a chance to be good if he chose?

But never mind my rambling. ^^; I enjoy waxing philosophy and tend to get carried away playing Devil's Advocate. Thank you again for your wonderful compliments and for getting my brain going. You made my day. :hug:
