Let it Die -- Death Elsa

This version of Elsa I came up with around the exact same time I came up with the design for my throne room for my Background Design and Layout class. The theme is to design a throne room for Elsa, but with her powers having been different. We were given a set list of powers to choose from and the bottom choice happened to be death, which worked out really great for me as I had had a very vivid dream some nights prior that really fueled me with inspiration. But while I was coming up with the room's layout, I was a little bummed out that we weren't going to actually be re-designing Elsa herself as many of us were kind of expecting with how this project was being hinted at (the teacher kept showing us different version of Elsa with different powers, and I was gonna go for lightning!). So when I finished up on some of the concepts for the throne and such, I took inspiration from a few other sketches I had done and designed a corresponding Elsa to go with the new digs. And much like how I envisioned the room, I did not want her to be scary or ugly or frightening at all. I wanted to have elegance and grace in there, and I like to think I managed to get some of that in here.
