Nice armor design, I'd love to see the color version :smile:

Really cool armor ! Nice work :smile:

You're welcome :smile:
Curious to see those in colors now

Nice work ! I like the colors ! :smiley:

@rgdraw Great! Still not sure if I should change the blue cloth into orange.
Second colour test with a lighter armour and an orange tabard.


And some ideas for a pose in the final illustration. I have two options: a fighting stance, or a calm one. For a fighting stance, the mask will be lowered. For a calm one, it will be up.

Currently leaning towards a calm pose, #8.

Nice work on the pose research!
I liked the previous colors better, the darker tone help the red from her hair to pop out more giving a better contrast and strenght for the character
Hope this help :smile:

it has a delicate and very classical vibe , such a good work

Nice work !
What's your plan with the background ? I'm curious :smile:

@rgdraw Thanks!
Actually, I'm out of ideas for the background. Currently thinking something about a setting sun / battlefield, but I'm open to any suggestions.

You're welcome :smile:
what you said can work for the background, that's what i imagined when I looked at your piece, or maybe you can go for the classic, top of the cliff at the sunset, can be nice too :smile:

Yeah can't wait for the color ! :smiley:

So I fell terribly ill and thus have had not much time to work on this. Still feeling a bit feverish, but I hope I can finish this in time. Still have to do highlighting, armour and finished the shadowing.
