I'm scared of the dark too. <.< But I always like to have a light with me if I have to venture outdoors. ^^;
I tried to KISS (keep it simple, stupid) with this drawing and not let myself get carried away with ridiculously complicated patterns and colorations. You can call the pastel blue stuff snow, for December, or soulmatter, or fog, or what-have-you. Your character (potentially) so have fun with it. ^^
The butterfly is a study in laziness. <.< *cough*
