Happy New Year 2k9

Happy New Year, people!
This is supposed to be posted on New Year's Eve, but I figured people'd be watching TV rather than surfing the DA.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THIS THING CRASHED ON ME SO MANY FREAKING TIMES I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO KILL MYSELF!!! I didn't have scatterbrushes either, so I did all the little light puffs either manually or with the particle system (which kinda sucks, really). Same with the back ground. The frost effect too... that was so annoying...

This is also a contest entry for 's Fuyu no Kemonomimi contest! She requested that a person fused with an animal (not anthropomorphic) be drawn in a winter theme. I dunno how wintery this is... but there's ice!

I actually chose one of my characters, Kroerin Shatter, and put her in her Great Valkyrie form. I am aware of how creepy her eyes are -- they just are that way (she's a fairly creepy girl, Valkyrie form or not). The animal that she is fused with in her Great Valkyrie form is the "Great Horned Owl"... although I made it "Albino Great Horned Owl" because she just didn't look Valkyrie-ish with dark hair in a winter setting ;;;

Her usual Valkyrie forms are: Red-kite, Gyrfalcon, and Black Hawk. Her full name (Kroerin Ochellis Shatter) represents each of the valkyries in her body.

Kroerin - from "Kor eit rine" meaning "Heart is Nothing". The Redkite form is merciless and heartless.

Ochellis - from "Oeysha eit rist" meaning "Eyes are Closed". The Black Hawk uses lots of feignts in combat and is very stealthy.

Shatter - from "Shae eit Tare" meaning "Soul is Torn". In other words, the Gyrfalcon's an emo. Don't kill me! "Soul is Torn" actually means that she can rip off pieces of her soul and stick them in other things, keeping her consciousness in the real world even after she dies. It'll let her keep fighting in the form of a weapon after her body is rendered useless.

Well, there's Kloe's story >w<. Unfortunately, I wasn't planning or Kloe to show up in the Black Cross Tournament with Avarice, Vandette, Illuminae, and Yve because her name didn't end in (e) like theirs did-- that was a joke too. It's because I created her after I created the storyline >.>;;;

I dunno! It doesn't matter! I can't run anything on this computer! Blah.
