I'll admit it: this one felt like cheating.
Iceman is another of the original X-Men, with one of the most interesting powers and least developed personalities. He was the youngest of the group (but not in the same way as Kitty Pryde or Jubilee) and was something of a comic relief (but certainly not in the same league as Deadpool). Even his mutant freezing power took decades to get further than scooting around on ice slides and creating chunks of ice.
Probably the most memorable thing he did in the early years was to become an Amazing Friend to Spider-Man and get a supporting role on his cartoon, which is where I first saw him (and the X-Men).
Painting-wise, there was only one way this was going down: prime white, coat in a 50/50 mix of Frostheart contrast and Lahmian Medium, drybrush with Ulthuan Grey and White Scar.
I did go over a few details, like the eyes, with Ulthuan Grey, just to feel like I was contributing, but this model felt like it painted itself.
Stay chill!
