Frozen Ancient

Description from original post (created 2013-05-16 02:57):

This is a texture that I find extremely cool (both literally and non-literally). The detail on this is no less than exquisite. I put hours into the cracks, the grooves, the hills and valleys, and the visibility of what is underneath all to make a realistic frozen feel. Ahem... The theme is of a long frozen member of a lost civilization, having been (supposedly, this stuff is still up for debate) frozen during some sort of an ice age. Of course she's long dead, but the ice itself uses her structure. Neat, huh? Any way, I hope you at least enjoy looking at it, though I'd hope you'd do more...
I'll see you guys next competition.
