canday drew this gorgeous art piece of DragonsDungeon's skin " In the cold storm the heart will keep you warm". The picture perfectly captures the emotion and vibe the original skin set out to portray. Dragons explains in their submission that the concept of this skin came from a song: Open Window by Mitis. "it has this sad, cold but hopeful vibe that I really liked..." Dragons states. They also point out that it's only the second primarily cold coloured skin as well as being the first on skin light source of this year. We love it!
