Does it have to be polished, completed pieces or can we turn in something like a conceptual sketch?

revenge is a dish best served cold

I researched a lot of severe frostbite and cryogenicly frozen body parts and put this together, not only did his accident make him depend on the cold to survive but his entire body was frost bitten but to different degrees. In order to stay alive he developed Bionic eyes to monitor of his life support systems an outlet that plugged into his brain and nervous system and hoses to give oxygen and blood to his brain,and suit that was a cross between life support and a battle suit. only 3 quarters of his organs survived and only a torso and head and spine were uneffected. with out the suit or costant exposure to below freezing bionic nitrogen nano gas his body will crumble into ice and dust.

I used as inspiration the color schemes of some artic animals (penguins and orcas in particular) and some fancy Preminger eyebrows. Hope you like it!

No, he's just trying to be funny.

 

[Bat-Gasm]

Impressed by almost all of them so far. Farfarello's looks very retro sci-fi. Polaris creeps me out though, I like it.

So basically it's like a cross between Mr. Freeze and Darth Vader?

sure I guess you could say that it's the coldest villain mixed with ...the most badass villain so a cold badass villain lol

I was digging in the wrong place...

Ok I'm really not a colored pencil guy. My medium is water color and ink washes, but I'm trying to branch out.

I really wanted to take him back to basics. I also wanted to remove one of his most recognizable features, the big glass dome.
Here was my idea. The unit on his chest plugs directly into his heart. A coolant mixes with venom and his blood circulates through his body keeping him alive and removing his need for a totally airtight suit. The mask on his face gives him frosty air and keeps his lungs and the O2 that mixes with his blood cold. I wanted to give him a gritty retro look. I also mounted the cold gun on his arm, mainly just because I thought it would look kind of cool.
Can't wait to see what everyone else came up with.

I think Polaris' makes Freeze look a bit weak but creepy in that peadophile kinda way. Which I think looks quite good. I am digging luklead and banes's so far tbh.

 

[thedarks0ldier]

These are so badass! I wish I had committed some time to following through with this. I am making a Batman costume for halloween that ate up most of my time. Congrats to all you guys, can't wait for the next round.

I went for a practical look. I figured he is a scientist, so he doesn't need any unnecessary design or flash to his suit. So I figured any manufacturing done by him would serve purpose.

Ran out of time for a background.
