Icewreath utilizes digital tools to mimic the bleed and texture of traditional ink wash, bringing a sense of ancient history to a modern cinematic icon. The portrait orientation emphasizes the scale of the Ohmu, its many eyes and segmented shell rendered with varied line weights that suggest both physical weight and the rustle of movement.

This interplay between the void of the paper and the density of the ink creates a space where the viewer can feel the quiet, heavy atmosphere of the Valley of the Wind.
