This illustration was inspired by the novel book by Christian Andersen, The Snow Queen. The wicked Snow Queen casts her icy spell on the world and takes young Kay as her eternal prisoner. Kay's friend, Gerda, must journey forever north and brave many dangers in her attempt to save Kay and break Winter's grip. She encounters talking ravens, the evil Cobweb Spider, a prince and princess, the wild robber-girl, greedy polar bears and the valiant reindeer who carries her across the arctic wastes. The piece took around 80 hours in total.
