This time, it's the ruler of the frigid lands ravaged by cold and snowstorms, "Ice Queen".
That first sketch was actually made right after I released the Glacies, but her design hadn't really quite solidified at that point, so I decided to put her on hold for a while and work on other stuff.
Though she's called the Ice Queen, that's not the title of a singular individual but instead the name of an entire species, so each snowy region has its own Ice Queen.
Also, in the era of the old Demon Lord, because they're a kind of elemental spirit, they were not able to have children, but now that they've become monster girls, they obviously can bear children, and of course there are also cases of Ice Queen mother and daughter occupying the same area.
Now, an "Ice Queen" appears in many different works, but the original one is the Danish fairy tale "The Snow Queen", by Hans Christian Andersen. This fairy tale features a magic mirror created by the "devil" that reflects only the worst in everything. It shattered, and one day a boy called Kay had shards of the mirror lodged in his eye and heart, changing his gentle personality and turning him cold and cruel. Later on, the Snow Queen robs him of his memory and takes him captive.
Though in the source material, it's really the mirror that has the ability to "freeze one's heart", in the Encyclopedia, the ice element has always been associated with inner cold and loneliness, so the Ice Queen had to have an ability to let her freeze the hearts of not just everyone in her surroundings, but even the most powerful monsters.

This was the definite sketch!
As the Ice Queen needed to have a cold and ruthless appearance, though she was always supposed to be tall, I decided to make her slender and with sharp features.
However, her tits are still huge and just spilling out of that open dress!
Even while fully clothed, when embracing her it'll be easy to just bury your face in that chest...!
I wanted her dress to open up in front from the start, but other than that, I was torn about whether it should be straight and narrow around the bottom or be a bit wider. I eventually went for the former since it had more of a mature, serious air to it.
