Description
A doll stands in the snow and wonders what the cold feels like.She's never hungry, never thirsty, never ill, always pristine, always beautiful... but would give all these up to feel the cold.. to feel human.
Just a conceptual sketch I finished off, I started it in the airport in Ireland; coming home from Eirtakon I was dropped off at the airport at 4:30am, it was dark, freezing and raining heavily, worst part was I was taken to the wrong terminal so had to drag my bags round to the other entrance. I though 'what a rubbish way to end a great weekend' then I looked around. In the darkness all the lights of the airport were bright, the heavy rain made them sparkle, and the whole world was dazzlingly reflected in the river which was once the road. It was beautiful. I took a deep breath of fresh, cold air and couldn't help but smile.
Often the things we think are negative can be viewed in a different light if you are prepared to look... cold, sad, hurt might feel bad at the time, but they turn to warm, happy and healed. The doll would do anything to feel them all. Embrace the dark as well as the light.
Peace, love and humanity,
~Blue x

This is indeed amazing. I love how you lightened up just a little of her face, making the enviroment so cozy and special. The story is very touching as well!! An amazing piece, as always, Destiny!

Oh, gosh... the lighting on this literally gives me the shivers. It looks so poignantly cold and frosty and blue and asdfghjkl I honestly thought it was an actual BJD until I looked closer. I think that one lit edge of her face, with her nose and lips, looks especially realistic somehow. <3

answer:
tis a difficult, layered notion.
the sweet breeze over the ocean.
the biting nip in your feet
as the colored leaves retreat.
the sweet sting of snow
as one inhibitions are let go.
the burning sensation of frostbite
as one ddeparts in one's delight.

The shading is just perfect. From the thumbnail it looked like a real doll under a blue light.

I Love your work. It is so inspirational, original, I love the concept, and I think it says a lot about who you are (in a good way). How could you even sketch at an airport?? I cant even hear there because its so loud!

I like the concept~ I also agree. Humans are very complicated creatures, but, take away our ability to feel, and the complications melt along with it. These complications, emotions, are what defines us after all~
