This is VERY easy to win; all you gotta do is a simple illustration off a few pictures I'm providing.

I need a vector ice cube. I need it with and without a small puddle of water.

I don't really like those ice cubes, they're very bumpy, but I like the puddle of water. Don't trace it though; and it needs to be a little more see through.

I like the ice cube in there; it looks a little cartooney, so no face obviously... I'd love this too;

Mac has a really awsome wallpaper with the swirls and stuff; I'd love if there could be some streaks like in the wallpaper inside the ice cube.

An extra bonus cash prize if you can also provide matching icicles; although not required. Winner will not be chosen based on whether or not they can do this, only the ice cube. The icicles are just a plus.

I'd do it myself being a graphic designer and all; but I'm just not striking gold here.
Color Scheme: ice (blue/white)   Type of Design: Other   Desired Dimensions: vector   Desired Filetypes: .EPS   Prize: $15 and Hosting   How prize will be delivered: Paypal/Email   End Date: when winner is chosen

Here's my try. All vector - puddle can be easily removed.

I used the pen tool and drew each side of the ice cube and each highlight/shaded area on a separate layer. Then reduced the visibility of each layer so that the bottom layers showed through.

Here are the icicles. Much more difficult to get that "clear" look as you don't have the angles to play on like you do with the cube. Anyway, here it is.

Yes, you've almost nailed it. I would like a little darker blue (like the WT header, but not that dark!) and remember to look for that macOS feeling inside the cube., otherwize it looks very nice. You can provide PSD, yes?

OK so I tried to do these in stronger colors but I feel the ice cube looks better in the lighter colors.
