The concept here is simple. Barriss is playfully running away as Ahsoka chases and throws snowballs. Barriss' homeworld is frigid, so that's where the title comes from (as if it was being yelled by Ahsoka).

Artist's Note: I wanted to get this done in time for the Barrissoka Group 's Winter Theme Art Jam , but I ran out of time and had too many computer problems to see this getting finished in any decent amount of time. It's still winter though, at least in Alaska, so I figured I should finish it while I'm waiting on some new computer parts. There's still plenty of things about it that I'm not completely happy with, but I need to move on to other projects. I hope you like it.

There isn't much information to rely on for accurate depictions of Mirial. Between Legends and Canon, it is agreed upon that Mirial was a cold and dry planet, only having liquid bodies of water near the equator. You can look further, but then you get into conflicting sources, so a lot is left for fans to independently develop. It certainly doesn't help that the canon for star wars has been wiped multiple times to multiple degrees, a great example being Ryloth (it was tidally locked and the Clone Wars animated series reestablished it to have a day and night cycle, overwriting other books, games and sources exploring the Brightlands and Nightlands of the planet).

In short, there's nothing saying you can't give Mirial a temperate zone, especially if it is seasonal. That said, I wouldn't put the modifier of "so that the population can have some recreation" into your reasoning for the temperate zone. I lived in Alaska for a few years and I can attest that just as much recreation can be had in summer as in winter. After all, we do have Winter Olympics as well as Summer Olympics. One of the differences between Humans and Mirialans is their capacity to handle colder climates to the point of finding comfort in them. We see this in the Clone Wars with a Mirialan settlement on Carlac. 

I hope this wasn't too much of an info dump. I did a lot of research on Mirial before Disney's acquisition and the most recent canon wipe. A lot of information was lost and I'm often eager to share what I learned. Anyways, I hope this helped.

that is really good. I can only draw dark pictures, my fun, happy pictures are really bad like more like something a younger person drew.
Well hope they're having fun.

There is something about the facial pose and how you angled it just right that shows Barris truly is having a blast of a time in the snow.  Playful, fun and innocent. Perfect!

Thanks! I went through at least five faces with Barriss lol. That's a great comfort to know that I picked the right one because that's exactly what I was trying to convey.

Cool!
Pun intended.
I can imagine this is something my best friend would do to me, because I keep on saying how the cold doesn't bother me because I'm "more Canadian."

Nice pun
I took a lot of snowballs as a kid from my brothers because I was the odd one who enjoyed winter more than the other seasons. I get my revenge though whenever they complain about the heat of summer.

This is so cute! I love Barrriss' winter outfit, it's like a combination of her her regular one and Ahsoka's snow outfit.

AlairaArt In reply to Kjara-draws [2015-03-14 03:30:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm hoping to do more renders of Barriss in that outfit. I think it suits her so well. I just need to get out from under a few projects and get some ideas drummed up.

Very cute and playful! I love their poses and their clothing choices. Great job on the snow and environment volume as well. Too bad you did not get it finished in time, it's really nice piece! ^^

Thank you. The snowy landscape is a WIP. I have the scene without the characters saved as a separate file that I tinker with every now and then. It's good to hear from another point of view that I'm heading in the right direction with the atmospherics.

Thank you . I enjoy the peaceful moments for Star Wars characters, exploring more of what they'd do and be like given downtime.
