Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the Ice Kingdom Challenge, where frost meets fantasy and magic chills the air!
Create a breathtaking image of an Ice Kingdom—a land of shimmering ice palaces, towering frosty spires, and ancient secrets hidden in frozen realms. Let your imagination run wild: Will your kingdom be ruled by a powerful ice queen, or is it home to mystical creatures roaming the snow-covered forests?
The Prompt I used: Imagine a magnificent, glistening ice palace rising majestically in a vast, frozen expanse. Its towering spires pierce the sky, adorned with intricate ice sculptures, while enchanting creatures roam this magical, icy realm.

Yup, in Australia the penguins jump out of the icy waters and huddle around a fire.

There are about a gazillion castles in and around Austria. Which one are you thinking of?

Love the cliff of ice effect! Sad that lights and colors don't really match but it still a great piece!

Prompt: dark clouds dropping a snowstorm over a towering gaudy opulent fortress made of ice in a harsh desolate tundra guarded by Nordic monster centurions in stark contrast with a village of impoverished peasants' cottages

Norwegian blue parrot, beautiful plumage. Vikings and reindeer in the fields behind. Magical ice castle on a mountain in the distance. Photorealsm.

Is it an ex-parrot? Has it ceased to be?

No, it's not. It's resting!
Weirdly enough, Firefly does a magnificent job with the Norwegian Blue, as I discoverd in late Spring this year:

Norwegian parrot of the Fordes?

The Paleolithic ancestor subspecies, Psittacus norwegius zombidae, appears to have been carnivorous. Scientists hypothesize that the powerful beak originally evolved to break open Viking helmets so they could get at the brains, much as modern tropical parrots use them to crack open nuts. On the other hand, there is no verified evidence that the Vikings used them for hunting.

Well, I love that history lesson. Definitely did not know that these parrots actually exist. Thank-you for the information.
