Hey and welcome to the challenge! Liking the concept and you made some good progress already. Personally I think the face feels better in the b&w version than the colored one - the rendering is subtler and in a way tighter. The color concept is pretty scarry - if you can pull this of it'll be amazing :o one thing that bugs me is the red around the hip area that acts as a strong focal and demands a lot of attention taking away from the face without being that cool to look at if you know what I mean. Hope this helps in a way. Wish you all the best and good luck!
Cheers
Thank you! I.. think I won't add more sun imagery in her armour. I've yet to draw the backside so i'm not entirely sure. I want to keep the concept to feel like Quetzacoalt and make her look like a sun Goddess without me mentionning it or adding to much details... I might change the halo on her back... Anyway! I need to think about it more lol. You definitely did trigger a debate in my mind! x)
