I wonder what hidden moment this might have been. I'm uncertain if to read it as a positive scene (lost and found) or rather a gloomy one; dark and cold. Kahvi sometimes can be no fun at all... (at least I guess it might be Kahvi approaching).

Haha, yeah it became more ominous when I just could not manage Kahvi’s face in such a small scale no matter how much I zoomed in. She always ended up looking like a utter clown, so I dropped it and blamed that the height and wind obscured her face XD

As for the Hidden moment. It’s Vaya’s Chief Walk! I was originally going to depict Chot and Door, but I quickly lost my inspiration, so I was reading the Hidden Years 2 arc while looking for new ideas. Apparently it is a tradition among the Go-Back girls to try to best Kahvi and steal a spear. Krim boasted that the only one who ever beat her record was Urda, which had some interesting implications when it comes to Vaya. So yeah, I wanted to show that. I changed the spear to a necklace, a smaller and probably harder target, die to Zazzle’s restrictions.  It is a victory over her mother, but her mother is still above… still the best.

The digital medium really worked for me this year, as I understand it better now and I was able to play with the brushes. It was fun to make.

Sorry, I misremembered, the arc was Wild Hunt. And yeah, most likely! Kahvi’s spear was decorated with teeth, so it might be a connection, even if Teir could not recall properly for a good while.

Interesting hidden moment. I think I read that at some point, but it's been a while. Nice stark contrast of the cool blues and greys to the yellow-tan. This definitely makes me want to go back and read the story, but at the same time, this tells its own story. Very compelling! And was this painted? Water colors? You're braver than me!
