God, it's been forever since I changed my devID, hasn't it? x}

I couldn't help but continue to notice that my devID was ancient, so I whipped something up in MS Paint/Photoshop Elements to replace it.
By far, that's some of the best MS Paint lineart I've ever done, and it's all thanks to boredom and wanting to make my edges for the lines more pointed than smoothed off, which makes them flow along much smoother.

I love how I did the mountain valleys in this. I used a dissolve tool with a mid-high opacity to give it the effect that there's a heavy snow, brushed it over with a large brush with mid-high opacity and the color set as gray, and finally, went over it with the blur tool with a low-mid pressure.
Everything else about the background is unimportant other than I finally put the motion blur filter to good use by making it look like she's actually moving compared to the surrounding snowflakes.

... God that was a long explanation...

EDIT: I enlarged and recategorized it since I had a pixel ID I started but forgot I had.

So they say the World is Ending? Let the World End! There is not much good in it left for it to be a bad thing, anyways.

Amazing pose, great job on the wings; they actually look like they're supporting her as she flies.

Actually, the character is from a species that's supposed to resemble gryphons. :>
