Children of Winter pg. 3/4
Last in pool
You could say "But that chick looks EXACTLY like Luna!" and you'd be absolutely right :D But I can explain it, I swear! First of all, as I mentioned earlier, I had an incredibly short time to create this comic from scratch, and I'm not going to lie, I thought I could save a lot of time by taking a character I drew a lot and changing it a bit to fit this story. And that brings me to the other one, the antlers, because I definitely wanted to give the Queen of Winter a simple set of antlers with icicles dangling from them, like a simple crown. Plus, Luna was white and blue by default, and what other colour would I have given the Queen of Winter :D So that's how Luna got a small role in this comic. Plus, I was able to draw Luna as very nice by default, which again suited the ambiguous story and message of this story.
I was under the impression that children (especially if they read books) are not so stupid that they wouldn't understand a more nuanced story. And I thought a little punchline was necessary for every short story, hence the Queen of Winter, who turns the villagers into undead out of sheer altruistic goodwill because she thinks it will save them from the horrors of life, while the villagers are on the complete opposite opinion :)
I've written a lot more about these few pages than I usually do under my drawings, but I think the excitement I felt about the competition and the soul-destroying race against time to finish it in time left a pretty deep impression on me :D I hope you enjoyed this little story, and I hope I get the chance to do more like this in the future ^^

In a face of immortal god/dess, every mortal's lifetime is life a blink of an eye.
Death is inevitable and will come anyway, in its dues time.

I like the idea that the Tree could have a twin sister that oversees a mirror part of existence that mortals experience.  Very nice work!

A great story! It reminds me a little of an old August Derleth story about a snow vampire haunting a country estate.

An awesome mini-comic.     A sad ending but not every ending has to be good.       I so hope that you can come back to this in the future.     The word so is up above is supposed to start with a d but everytime I tried to fix it my touchscreen kept putting the s back.    

I don't think anyone else will say it so I will.    His sister and mother probably died slowly.   😔😔😔

Live in fear or die to be reborn in new? I would rather be in the next world waiting to be reunited in death than to live forever in absolute pain and suffering

A dark story to be sure but ends on a good note. The perfect bittersweet tale.
