Yeah can an ice queen be so sexy that it's distracting from the illustration of the trope?

I don't think so. Looking hot (heh) probably can add to the Ice Queen effect.

True... I just thought it was running into another trope for a second there.

I do think an excessively fanservice-y image can be distracting to the actual trope.

Agreed!... precisely because being sexually attractive is not a core merit of the trope... it can enhance it in some circumstances if it is used to hinder her underlings/rivals/and such but, just for picture, being too sexy illustrates something else.

Maybe something as simple as this could work?

[up]Seems more of an Emotionless Girl if her lack of feeling/empathy is the focus of the pic. Though I honestly don't think much of the suggestion since the woman's face doesn't really add anything.

[up] Yep! Go too simple and we illustrate something else!

It's not that it's too simple. It's just a face and a speech bubble. She looks boring.

Hm. The last Emma Frost pic looks good, although the more I look at it, the more she seems like smiling to me, and that doesn't fit very well with Ice Queen characteristic. Oliver Mira Armstrong looks well, although not in the last pictures - it seems like she's grimacing a bit too much. Although the first one, maybe?

As to my own input ;)

Rejoice!

[up] first one is a stock image.

And the second well... see for yourself.

[up][up]85.1 won't illustrate anything without the words. The woman's face look more like "sad" than "cold".

8.2 may work, but it seems to overlap with too many other tropes, that I'd rather not use it.

85.1 is an image macro, and 85.2 is way too ambiguous to fit.

[up] I still don't know at 85.2 is it just keeps coming up as incoded HTML... sad

The clock is up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. As this is the third thread about this trope that's failed to produce an image, the page is going on the "don't make a thread without a suggestion" list.
