Icicle Base

Thick drifts of snow pile into a jagged mound, ringed by fang-like icicles brushed with a pale-blue gradient, as if just frozen out of a polar crevasse. Empoleon stands center stage, its deep-blue body and golden fins standing out sharply against the white, the breastplate ridges rendered in crisp detail — a crystal spire sculpture on its own, and a moment of an ice-realm sovereign taking the throne with Empoleon in place.
