Description
Snowbird, from the Marvel Comics team Alpha Flight, drawn by me. This is one of my favorite pieces, actually; I did this for a weekly online drawing competition a few years back, Snowbird being the subject of the competition. I didn't know a ton about Alpha Flight, but from what my hazy memory could recall, she had one of those mysterious origins where she walked out of the artic one day and into Canada, and she could shape-shift into any winter animal. Like I said, hazy memory and all, so feel free to correct my info in the comments section. Going on that info I had this image of her in the darkening, desolate cold, just wandering through it, but looking at home and comfortable in it at the same time, like it's her natural environment. I put her figure off-center on purpose, to make the snow and sky a character itself in the piece, so to speak. I like the quiet atmosphere of it that is different from my other pieces.

11 x 14 inches, done with pastel and verithin pencils.
