***************************************

 Phase Two - GEILO - Through Lom - GEIRANGER
 Distance: approximately 300km.
 Weather forecast:
From Geilo the route goes across mountain ridges until finally you reach Lom at the beginning of a Valley. Lom is said to be one of the driest places in Norway; expect all snow to be of the powdery, featherlight kind. Continuing to Geiranger the mountain scenery becomes more dramatic until you and your horse will have to navigate up and down steep, narrow mountain roads. The temperature in the valley will be a pleasant -10, but at the mountain tops the temperature will drop to -18 at night. Snow will fall in the evenings, snow drift might be a problem during the days.

***************************************

After his 'adventure' of getting lost during Phase One
Simon decided to maybe talk to some other entrants as well,
and ended up feeling most comfortable around a certain 
Mongolian. He also wanted to thank him for helping him out
before when he had been having a little breakdown due to
his unstable mental health. Fun fact: That happens when he's
too long away from home aka the safest place he knows. And
last year's TWD had ended for him around that time to the
accident in which his sister got injured, so who can blame the
poor lad? :'D

***************************************

I don't know why I'm always so surprised by TWD's deadline. It's not like I hadn't had time during the past months. It just always ends up with me having less than 10 days to finish my obligatory entries, welp~ Although I miiight be able to finish one of the extra assignments as well. We shall see. 

And Windy, I already told you! I'm terribly sorry for this crappy feature ;__; You drew my boys so well and here I am rushing everything and failing to display them with all the love they deserve even though I honestly enjoyed drawing them - the colours in Vachir's clothes are incredibly pleasing heh xD

Simon and Ruh reside with mee~
Vachir and Samar reside with Zephyriee  
I used this  photo from AskebodaStock as a reference for Ruh and this photo from HorseStockPhotos as a reference for Samar as well as my own Bodykun model for Simon and Vachir. 
The background is heavily inspired by the pictures  provided by the TWD-group.

Hoooly moly, I love those colors. They background looks quite realistic while the characters to have their own colorscheme (mre shiny and vibrant) but somehow it works sooo good together!

They look so good! I love how well they fit into the background, and the Zlesser is such a stunning contrast against the harsh winter conditions. He's so cute!! And Zephyriee's characters look so perfect against the snow.. Like they are meant to be there..

I hope you finish the rest of the series! I hear it's quite a challenge...
