this is beautiful! the ice is a very cool effect

it's simply incredible! Would you mind if I used portions of this graphic for my video game? I am creating a crystal cave. I'd certainly modify whatever I use, I'd have to. But I'd like your permission first!! Thanks

So beautiful

Thanks everyone!

Imagician: Thanks! I see what you mean. I'll try my best next time to give objects more shape definition (better shadowing and highlights perhaps?). I was hoping the tapered ends of the ribbon would give it a more dynamic feel. Thanks for pointing it out, it'll keep it this in mind for the future.

Afflict: The pieces of ice are actually floating about in the sky.  Sorry it wasn't too clear in the pic.

• It could look a little bit more plastic, especially the bole. It could look a little more cylindrical, instead it looks a little flat. Same goes for crown and icy rock, but here it's less eye-catching due to it's geometrical nature.
• The ribbon is being "tapered" at the sides of the crown. I don't really like it, I think it should look different. It actually should be a bit more "bold", both in a physical as well as in an artistic meaning. But that's up to you of course :)
