nicely done.. needed a little more concentration on the shading and highlighting.. gl
Thanks for trying...

poor little princess...is it cold there...just joking...very nice work author...love the idea so much...gl

Interesting approach to the theme.. good luck!

Great job! She definitely gives off a "frozen" vibe.

Interesting, but the icicles are made to different scales, and the ones beneath the eyes would curve to the proportions of the face.

Could you make some parts of her hair looking frozen by placing highlight here and there?

my original thoughts on this contest was ice man from the marvel comics...however, i can't seem to find any tutorial that even comes close to doing what i want to do with my entries.
i have been reworking this piece a bit, and will upload the edited version as soon as i have it done..likely tomorrow morning, as i'm at work and can't do much with it here.

WOW!!! This for sure is going to the fav box!

thanks MnMCarta

I did update the image...added a few things.
any other suggestions or critiques will definitely be taken in to account, as i'm still not quite sure its exactly what i was wanting. :P

awesome job!

You said you want her to be like Iceman ? Like this : http://xmendiaries.ibelgique.com/encyclopedie/characters/images/iceman03.jpg ?

Don't ! She's too hot for that ). I would insist on her hair. Check this: http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/149283-bigthumbnail.jpg See the contrast between the highlights & darkshines ? You could experiment with that, but it's already an awesome entry. Stacey will be proud

great job......

Cool effects, the eyes look so sad

Thanks so much everyone!

I agree with all the comment that imply you should have put more ice effect into her.

Now I'm surprised to see it's you. But I think you know which one i really like

Still an impressive shot! GL!

Great idea author,and fantastic execution...your made small mistake in writing,it should be wrote "public enemy"...best of luck

>erathion,........oopz,......that's silly,.........but, just consider that during the period of the so called wild west time, most people there were less uneducated, so to speak............LOLS and LOs......

very true buddy...LOL...

Very nice. Quite a simple idea really but very well executed. Well done.

Great textures to look antique. And, I kind of like the spelling error. As author said, probably many people didn't have a great education back then, so this might have happened. That guy really looks rough!!! GL

This is a good job. I only have one observation: the edges of the hat shouldn't be maybe so evenly washed out. The text has some parts less visible, "erased", some are more pronounced and that's ok, I think it should apply to the hat too...

Fun idea. Text on top of the image seems anachronistic, plus it makes a key part of the message hard to read. Stencil font for the 'WANTED' also seems out of place. (That must be one bad dude to warrant such a huge reward back when a dollar was actually worth something!)

Nice work! One of the best I've seen and a unique idea. This definitely defines the Wild West. GL!

great work!
