Me-ru-re Ku-Ri-Su-Ma-Su Minna-san!
Well, I managed this last year, so why not again this year?
Have a gift from my resident Winter Goddess, Illiya:
As always, click on her to view her full-size. However, she is probably not very work-safe. Being a goddess, she doesn’t understand strange human concepts like modesty…
Though I had limited resources to work with here, I thought this turned out pretty well. I went for the ‘whoops… I flash-froze the candy cane again’ look; and the cheeky/bashful expression is always one she handles well.
If you’re not aware, Illiya is from my D&D setting, Retoria; she’s technically a demigoddess, and is very childlike; typically spending her time surfing glaciers, dancing around in blizzards; and kidnapping young boys to take to her macabre frozen collection in the Tryst. Her utter disregard for clothing is primarily to show off the fact she has obscene cold resistance, I suppose. She recently helped the party in the finale of the second campaign, preventing the God of Terror, Jeff, from slaying the source of all life in the world.
Here’s a bit of hash wallpaper job, as well:

I may replace it later on if I make a better wall-version, but this will suffice for now for an xmas backdrop.
Anyway, have a nice day people. Hope you got everything you wanted. See you in 2012.
