Not gonna lie, this took me roughly seven hours to make. It came out a LOT darker than I intended it to, because I couldn't get the background to blend with the sword and ice. Despite this, though, I enjoyed making this cover a lot.

To give you a basic idea, all the blue on the sword was specifically put on, the blue on the crown too. The ice was manipulated, the original being this-

When I was done, before I made the background, this is what it looked like-

Safe to say I'm really proud of it. It really was a full scale manipulation, and I actually like how it came out. I even made sure to add the shadow of the sword onto the ice. As always, critique is definitely appreciated!

Sorry for how blurry it is, I'll add an above media when I'm on my phone again ^_^
