Ohh, sorry, I spent too much time trying to figure something out about the message I typed last and haven't seen the latest post by torsan. But the point is: how a deity is worshiped, and how you see it can be different, and many ice gods aren't evil.
When I read about an ice temple the first image that came to mind was a raised dais of ice covered with a fine mist (thinking dried ice fog). Centered on this dais there sits a block of ice about 7 feet long and 4 feet wide. The top of this block is a shallow trench of about man size and the surface of the ice block has a very slight red tint.
That is what I first saw in my minds eye.

I though of ice bars
A lot of places have them (Montreal, Russia, Finland). Here's some nice shots of one in Dubai:

Don't they build an Ice Hotel in Quebec every year?

That'll actually be handy for some colour references, though I think my ice temple will avoid having an ice bar!
Thanks for all the ideas - the normal every day work got in the way of tackling this over the last couple of days but I'm going to sneak in a little drawing over the weekend.
@ RobA - Actually the Ice Hotel in Quebec is actually some where north of that city I believe.
@ SG - That is an Ice Castle that Quebec City makes every year on the Plains of Abraham for it's winter carnival.

Well as the deadline approaches, here's the current line art. Not far off finished this section. I need to finish the dragon's wing, put in two ice guardian statues at the bottom and put in buried elders of the temple. Then it's on to the colour.
I've been hoping for an announcement!
Great start, I hope you finish in time. I've been checking I.C.E.'s contest page everyday, hoping to see your entry posted!
Remember, you have to download their contest agreement, sign and date it, scan it, and send back as a PDF along with your map file or link to map file - to completely qualify. Since time is getting close, I didn't want you to miss their specific rules on that.
I don't care if this beats my map, as long as Guild members earn all the awards! (Despite being the only entrants...)

This is looking really cool (no pun intended) Torstan, hopefully you'll get it done before the deadline, and if not well I'll still look forward to the finished product.

Thanks GP. I didn't know that and am well warned.
