They must be wearing a transparent elastic vinyl to protect them from the cold.
It will be the standard formula in our next age.

I think that the mission was a great success. And the provisions for winter clothing for the raiders is a nice touch. The sorceresses will have to beg for warmth.

I really like this one, especially the way that the captives have been rendered; I think its the way that the one in back is turning to one side and the other one is facing front; it gives me a sense of the movement of the figures, and lets me get into the scene. I also like the way that you have framed the women, surrounding them by the grey figures of the men and horses. Their exhalations in the freezing air really add to the scene as well. I get a wonderful sense of their helplessness.
Your comment that these women are sorceresses makes it even more interesting. They normally have special powers, but have nonetheless been taken captive. The way that the women's gags have been rendered makes me think of the scene in "Dune" where Paul's mother, who has the power to make men do what she wants by using a special power of voice, is rendered powerless by a very tight gag.
I am imagining myself as one of these women (the one in back, I think), and I can just make out, in the swirling snow, the dark tower ahead in which I will be imprisoned. Ahead of us, a wagon containing our books of spells, crystal balls, etc is just reaching the front gate. The books will be read by the magician who has ordered our abduction, and he will grow more powerful as we languish in our dungeon cell. The man who is doing the yelling will be taking care of the other sorceress, whom I have never really liked much, but I will be receiving the special attentions of the man in the middle, who seems like he might be warm and sensitive, as kidnappers go
Thank you very much for sharing this. You are an exceptional artist and this is a very compelling image.

Just to add a little more detail from my perspective...
You'll notice that (YOU) 
Also your nudity is certainly pleasant to look at, insuring that the laziest guards will keep their attention focused on you - foiling any escape attempts before they even begin. Many sorceresses also have a tendency to keep a small "reserve" of magical power within you, to help facilitate any escape plans - your exposure to the elements forces you to use that energy to protect yourself. Thus a long, slow march to the tower will ensure that you both are quite drained, helpless, and probably a little chilly by the time you arrive.
Hope you appreciate, a little different perspective!

I really love your observations, I had not been aware of the significance of iron at all, and that is a wonderful detail; and what you wrote about the weather, that makes perfect sense. I was thinking of writing a story based on this picture, and I would like very much to incorporate your additions if that is okay.

That's absolutely okay! Look forward to reading it!

Well, they probably almost missed the winter deadline, but I believe the management will be pleased with the project results. Good thing sorceresses can't catch their death of cold 
No really, it's a good idea to combine beautiful art such as this with a small story. I brings flavor and, in this case, a slight chill

Great illustration! An image crammed full of storytelling, and it's a story I'd love to read...

Thank you! Coming from an artist of your caliber that means a lot! I've been following your "Bare Necessities" story with great anticipation. Personally, I can't wait to see what's been happening to the 4 captives whilst all this fighting has been going on - but that's just me, I'm a gigantic pervert.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

You're welcome, and thank you! The captives will start to take more of the page-time as more of them join the "captivity" ranks. Much of "Fair Harvest," "Vision Impaired," and "Bare Necessities" have just been arranging the story so that I could deal with what happens to them. The thought of drawing all of those outraged, shocked, and terrified facial expressions just makes my mouth water...
But then, I'm a gigantic pervert, too...

Argh! Now I can't wait to see it even MORE!

Thanks it took TONS of renders and postwork to get everything to look right. I think it was worth the effort!

It was worth the effort. This is high art - at least the artisan skills are; if not the whole image.

You weren't kidding when you said you had another one coming... The snow effects look great!
You know, if you can get past the two girls, of course...

Would it help if I said "No posettes were harmed during the making of this pic"?
