Winter Angel ::Invariance::

So... hmm, crept up and shot me in the foot, this one did ^^

I was browsing my old faves and found the lineart for this (done by the inestimable as stunning as ever), here's the link:

But I got to thinking... 'Did this ever get coloured?' the answer being no, not really no, as far as I could see. I scrolled down the list and found that somebody *had* attempted to colour it. My problem was that it was *wrong!!!* Winter Angel is Winter, am I right? So why had the guy done her with sunset palm trees in the background? Sense it makes not...

Still, I have a thing about angels, I'm ridiculously hell-bent on imagining them in the Ah! My Goddess realms, especially any angels with slight anime leanings, thus while I know that some angels have different hair and clothing colour schemes... a winter angel speaks to me as this one does ^^

So I decided to do what the other young man did and do it the right way, even if I wasn't actually better than him, I'd at least equal his and theme it right. I'd do this as much justice as I could muster.

In other words... I goaded *myself* into doing this, and have paid the price.

Time taken; about three hours. I decided to change the colours for her clothes (slightly) after already shading and highlighting them, it was a total re-do for not much colour change.
