Auroral Vestaments:
meant to look like aurora borealis but couldnt quite get the wispy look down, the blue bits are meant to be like ice crystals and the held is meant to look wispy with a trailing aurora and snow

"Aurora Keeper"
I see there's already an aurora-themed set...but hopefully mine is different enough? Was definitely not intentionally similar (have had this design as a sketch for about a year).
The held is a torch, implied to be how the Aurora Keeper sets the skies alight.
Another color, and an Arctic Fox held! This held is inspired by the Finnish stories of a fox whose tail is the source of the Northern Lights.
All the color variations are based on different colors that can occur in the Northern lights. The last blue one is rare, but does happen occasionally.

Lunar Eclipse, Winter Predator, or Snow Fox Corp
(drew this one weird so hard to show different items since I kinda did it as all one layer)
HEAD
-predator animal mask with a furred hood behind the head, some fluff goes over the mask to show the hood reaches the front
-some spots of snow around the head kind of floating around rather than falling
-super fluffy and big hood
OUTFIT
-insolated snow suit, bird feet and fluff/fur on the chest area
-super fluffy
WINGS
-idea is non-solid line art, and if solid white lines with dark base, could be cool if feet could somehow match the wings
BACKGROUND
-circle like the moon
-could have different kinds of phases
-added color on bottom half 'cause I thought contrast looked nice but otherwise not much planned for it

Snowy Cabin Avatar Background
Nighttime Variant
You can view the original unedited version here.
Originally I was going to draw in falling snowflakes as well as snow on the branches of the pine tree however that deemed itself to be impossible with my cheap colored pencils. I wanted the snow to have this sort of glittery glistening effect as well but I don't have the glitter for that.
Sorry for the mid-tier edit of the blank avatar base. I don't have any apps to do so so I had to turn in into a sticker on Snapchat and add it to the drawing that way.
Daytime Variant
You can view the original unedited version here.
The snow on this is also supposed to be glistening. Falling snow is optional. The snow on the pines should be more pronounced but I ended up over-shading too much so it's darker than it should be.
Snow Clouds Avatar Aspect
I tried to draw what it might look like over the background. I think there might be too many clouds covering the background so maybe there should be a little less. You can view that image here.
Both nighttime and daytime variants have swirling snowfall, however the nighttime variant is tinted blue.
Christmas Pajamas Avatar Outfit
These blue pajamas are trimmed with a red and white candy cane stripe pattern. On the pants are candy canes. On the shirt is a winter scene with pine trees and a waving snowman. There are red and white mittens on the avatar's hand. The avatar is also wearing a pair of snow boots.
This small fuzzy blanket wraps around the shoulders like a shaw except the ends are tied together to keep it from falling off the avatar's shoulders. The blanket has a red border and it has a pattern of peppermint swirls. An alternate pattern could also be candy canes to match the rest of the outfit.
Avatar Held Items
Item 1: A snowman mug full of hot chocolate. There is a dollop of whipped cream with two marshmallows, a stick of cinnamon, and a candy cane. It is based off of this mug I got my mom last Christmas.
Item 2: A hot cup of coffee. The Sylestia S dragon is on the cup as a logo.
Item 3: A hot cup of coffee. There is moose on the cup as the logo to appease the moose god. This item is just a design variation of item 2.
Item 4: A hot cup of tea. I like to think it's chai tea, which is why I put the whipped cream on top. The teacup has a fancy silver handle, a light grey, almost white cup, and a dark pink band around the top and base of the cup.
Item 5: Two candy canes. These aren't as big as the candy canes we already have in the wardrobe. The two canes are crossed over each other with the hook facing opposite ways
Avatar Head Items
Item 1: A winter hat/beanie. There is a band around the hat with a candy cane stripe pattern. On top of the hat is a white yarn pompom with red yarn accent bits. The hat is blue like the pajamas. The dark blue snowflakes are actually supposed to be white but the white didn't look right on the watercolor paper.
Item 2: A set of earmuffs. The earmuffs are the inverse of the hat's pompom, red with white accent bits. The band connecting the pair is black.
