Week #29: We're a couple of weeks into March now, which means it's becoming Spring in the northern hemisphere, and Autumn in the southern hemisphere.

Design a character inspired by the changing season in your part of the world!

*
Es läuft der Frühlingswind (The wind of spring strides)
Durch kahle Alleen, (through bare alleys,)
Seltsame Dinge sind (strange things follow)
In seinem Wehn. (in his breeze.)

Durch die glatten (Through the smooth)
Kahlen Alleen (bare alleys)
Treibt sein Wehn (his breeze carries)
Blasse Schatten. (pale shadows.)

Und den Duft, (And the scent,)
Den er gebracht, (which he brought,)
Von wo er gekommen (from where he came)
Seit gestern Nacht. (since yesterday night.)

~Hugo von Hofmannsthal, make-shift translation by myself~


Quick character design I threw together because I'm too awake to go to bed, inspired by the poem above. Sorry, I couldn't find a English translation I liked so I did the job myself and it's far from perfect. But I hope you can get a guess what the poem is all about.
Here is the full version, including a translation and some notes:

Spring arrived weeks ago where I live, mostly because we had no winter. Really, not even a week of snow! It got freezing cold for a few days, that's all we got this year. Guys, it's March and I have 20°C and a sunburn. A sunburn! In March! It's kinda ridiculous.

Thanks for looking and have a nice day,
Schnee

Wow! I adore this!

I love how the character is so dark, that the glows really stand out, and yet they outline the animal.

It's beautiful! <3
