I meant to reply earlier, but I hate typing from my phone. Such a hassle trying to type out anything on such a tiny screen or have it constantly auto correct any names I type. -____-
The shield as the main focus was something that crossed my mind initially, but as Deirdre pointed out, I wanted to take the character into mind for the design, hence why I opted for the sword and triple spear in hand to represent Halone as the goddess of war and her title as the Fury.
I actually have a couple rough doodles in my sketch book for the shield design which I may post up when I get around to hooking my scanner up again. I definitely agree with you about how hard things in ice can be to color. I think that'll single handily be the hardest part of this one since I don't have much experience with rendering ice outside of sketches, but hopefully all the awesome tutorials on DA will help me out here.

Take some bacon and I put it in a pancake.
