The Story
Summer (guy) and Winter (girl) are cousins, given that Summer's father and Winter's mother are siblings. Summer's father governs the fire and summer season, while Winter's mother governs the water element and the winter season. The two first met one day when summer is about to end and fall is to come is to come. Winter was moving to the opposite hemisphere and met Summer as he moved to the hemisphere where Winter cam from. They didn't know that they were cousins until Winter was tasked to take over her kingdom's throne where the family gathered.
Sad and heartbroken, the two lovers needed to part and forget their feelings forever. This explains why summer and winter don't come after one another...
The Art
Please remember that the following are my notes to follow.
- Summer's hair symbolizes fire and that grey colored smoke symbolizes air and it is part of his hair.
- Winter's hair comprises of two colors, whose ends fade into Summer's skin color, and signifies the earthen element, her father's governed element. Her first hair color, blue, signifies water, her mom's element.
- I was going to give Summer some tears as well, but it didn't look good on him, so he had to just force himself not to let tears fall...
- The designs are random. :| I had to keep them busy so the background wouldn't look plain.
- Winter was really naked there...or I intended to make her fade, but I forgot that along the way.
- It's digital, although I perceive it as done in traditional media because the sketch was left visible for textures. :)
