Thank you so much for the responses @innocent, @mr_dessin, @edenriquebq and @PeterH Seems the consensus is 3, as I spoke to some friends and they also like 3

@PeterH I will be putting the filigree and shiny cords in, although I was debating on making the design on the chest be more of an engraving in leather, so we shall see how that goes with the final rendering. Need to design the pattern fully now that I have some colour options

Helloooo, so I'm not too great with compositions so would love some help from you guys ^_^ here are three that I've fleshed out a bit, with more to follow soon Let me know what you think and feel free to make redraws.

So I'm finally back from my holiday, very pleased to find that there was an extension to the competition as I was a bit stuck with technology as I was very far away from it...as well as internet.

Anyway, here is an update on the final illustration The pose changed completely thanks to the help of some talented and knowledgeable people Feedback would be greatly appreciated and I will continue to post progress throughout the week!

I know what you mean about wanting everyone to win but I think in some way everyone will be happy as a contest like this challenges us to break out our boxes and push our creativity

Heeeeeey, lookie! I've finally added some magic to the image to give an idea of what is actually her power (which has changed slightly since the original idea). So now we also have a reason for the really bright front light Feedback is always welcome
