I never read the book, but I really really like what you did here. It feels cozy and very reminiscent of an actual winter park at night. The 3D model looks very nice, smooth in the best way, and very accurate to human proportions. I love how you did the braided hair in the back too, that must have been pretty hard to do. It almost looks like this is all made out of clay, I can't say why but I mean it in a good way! The blurred background really helps add to the depth, and the effect of running water is just great. Keep up the amazing work!
