So far, yet so close

Hello people :3

Sorry for the long silence
I'm doing some works lately, and here is my next piece.
This time it is an art-trade with She asked me to do a picture about her in her anthro-lynx form and her beloved in his human form in a different story.
The landscape is in Russia and both characters are connected to it. I will not mention the whole thing, because, she can tell you better if you are interested.
She is a soldier and her love is a general of some sort. This supposed to be a love scene. But because of the fact, that they are not always togeather (they leave far from each other ), I thought it would be nice to make a picture, that is not an "ordinary" love theme, but it is about longing to the another one
I hope I have succeded.
Yet, I have some problems with the background this time, because it is a snowy landscape, it was a bit difficult for me to show deapth and such... I enjoyed to make the water and the reflection though :3 Note that what you can see, it is all first attempt/first time to draw such a thing. Only the lynx is not included in this, because this is my second anthro picture that I made.
All in all, I enjoyed this opportunity to try out some new ways. I'm partly happy with the outcome, but as you can see, I still have to improve some things considering backgrounds and such
