Nice try.

Blobs work much better for doing human figures.

From youknow@ucan.foad.org:
A nice idea. I am wondering if the cartoon-like effect is
deliberate. I suspect, given certain touches, it was not. With
the structures as they stand it would've been effective if
the whole image had meant to take on a sort of Saturday
cartoon feel. As a realistic image, it suffers in places --
the kid, as you yourself point out, yes, but also the structure
of the fort (too smooth and regular).

From delfeld@mailcity.com:
We still have winter here.  We also have some peace here, and I am wondering
whether it is not better to have a virtual war than real blood, even in
'harmless' children's play.  I do not find anything glorious about war, and it
is apparent that you do not have a real concept of the snowfight's epiphany. 
Be careful that your myth of war is not taken for the real thing, where people
(including you) end up dead quite easily for the smallest reasons.  

However, I still am fairly uncertain what the relation is to 'fortress'.  A snow
fort does not necessarily contain the idea of 'fortress'.  The image is too
one-sided to incorporate the concept.

Nice work with the objects, and I think that you do a very good job with people.
 Regardless of the simplicity, I think the boy is very emotive and
understanable, especially with touches like his breath and the eyes.
