Is there a tutorial on how to do some good snow and ice work to a model? I want to do a valk on an ice world, so was planing on a snow base and trying to make it look like parts of the valk were starting to freeze over. I looked for a tutorial and could only find how to do snow basing. Any help would be appreciated.

Check this out.

Ok, thanks.

Ummm... why did you link him back to the forum he posted this in? or did I miss something?

I think it's interesting that the OP created two posts on the same day with the same question.

It was in the wrong forum, so i made a new one not knowing that they would move it, my bad.

That explains it. Carry on, then!

There's a splattering (spattering?) technique involving a toothbrush that might get you something that looks like the valk flying through snowfall.

Hmmm...I've done a few snow/ ice themes before and i suppose . For ice I suggest useing a darker colour (depending on how deep the ice is) like a mix of regal blue and ice blue, the ice blue, then a mix of ice blue and skull white and then apint very fine lines as highlights on flatter surfaces and edges to show shininess then paint over with a gloss varnish for real shine. Will this work on your model? Hope it helps!
