thanks to xx Stacey xx @ dA for the model stock, and flashtucka@dA for brushes.

my first attempt at this. there aren't too many tutorials out there to teach how to do this effect. seems they all repeat themselves. So i just mixed a few things from each of the tuts and added my own spin to them.

i do realize my model stock is one widely used, but i liked the "frozen" look to her face.

**UPDATED**
changed the icicles to form more to the face. took the ice effects off of the nose and lips as it didn't conform to what i was wanting. Might change it again yet... :P not quite satisfied still.
Thanks to Le-Rain@deviantart for the winter brushes i modified a bit.

Thanks a lot for the stocks:
