An unsuspecting hunter is enjoying her stay in a remote winter cabin, when one day she is greeted by the mystical spirit of a deer! Surely this would be a dangerous enemy! Or this forest spirit could simply be bringing in the winter season as it passes, with icicles and winter fauna all around. Friend or foe, the small creatures of the forest certainly don't seem to mind it's presence!

I designed this winter landscape to be a work of art, but that takes nothing away from its playability! While the primary goal was aesthetic, the deer is fully poseable and the building fully playable, with removeable sections for ease of access, display, and moveability.

For this build I wanted to present magical land with bright colours, sweeping snowy landscapes, and mystical spirits. I then paired it with a realistic, semi-survivalist environment as the Hunter is trying to survive the winter and all the strange encounters it may bring.

I wanted to capture the idea of a colourful and beautiful winter, rather than a bleak landscape. I focused on using unusual colour pallets and distinctive shapes and designs that capture the eye. I have always loved castle and medieval themes, and thought this would be an interesting new idea that could easily exist in the same world as all manner of knights and castles, but in a very different place.

If you enjoy this project nearly as much as I did building it, your support is more than appreciated!

I hope this can be a positive and uplifting decoration for all. whatever the season, it is always good to hunker down and start building. especially when winter is coming.
