SciFi and Fantasy Art: COLD WORLD

Many Inuit peoples believe the world will end in ice, not in fire. I tend to agree.

Oil on illustration board, 15x20'. Closeups here.

P.S. Thanks for all the comments and congrats on the mod's choice, guys! I appreciate it! Also, since I forgot to mention it before and everyone's asking: H.C. Andersen's 'Little Matchstick Girl' indeed aided in the creation of this painting. I did not intend to paint the actual character, but the story has been one of my faves since I was a kid, and it played a large part in inspiring this.

This is SUCH a sad and beautiful picture.
The feeling it radiates is just overwhelming.

Thank you for bringing such beauty to the world. You are a artist to look up to. Keep going; it would be too mush of a shame to let talent such as this go unused. ^^

Hun strøg igjen mod Muren en Svovlstikke, den lyste rundt om, og i Glandsen stod den gamle Mormoer, saa klar, saa skinnende, saa mild og velsignet.

a bit from the original Danish version, you really captured the spirit of the story, while giving it your own twist very nice indeed.

The world ends up freezing?
I agree; that's entropy, and it exists...
