Description
Second picture from studios!When I first saw the sketch I got it into my head to made the blade a kind of bone colour, but after making the fire sword, I just had to do an ice sword. Damn I'm so pleased with how it came out. I wanted to make it look like the ice flows inside the hilt of the sword, if you notice the icey parts at the bottom. I love this pic so much that it's my new wallpaper XD
I think I did a real good job on the lighting on this one. Some bits came out a little wrong, and there are some errors, but I'm working to look past them.
Over all, I think this is just about as festive as Nexus is likely to get. I suppose at this time of year I kinda had to make something wintery
Hope you guys like it!

I could go on about how great the shading is, the snow effect, the outfit or how 'cool' an ice sword is (either as a pun, a sword collector or ice enthusiast).
But I think I'll go more simple with the eyes and the expression with them. You may not have done much with it since you coloured. But the shading for his right eye and on the edge of his left really adds depth to the expresion as a whole.

Funny...as of right now his eyes look really dull o.0
But I love everything else XD

Thank you, Bitchen
This might sound a little arrogant, but I didn't work that hard on this one. It was one of those rare pieces that gave me ideas as I worked on it, and when I tried them they just worked.

Well I call that pure luck or your just a really good artist. And no you dont sound arrogant at all, trust me, your talking to a girl who is full of it lmao

I was sketching an ice sword but I guess people would think I be steelin' off ya! ;_;
well nice coloring!

Doubt that very much
Technically speaking, most art is referenced off of something or other. As if my fiery sword is an original idea, or this ice sword.
You go ahead and do whatever you want, mate XD
