My idea is to create a cute girl that can conjure powerful gauntlets.

The gauntlets relate to the Nio gods but I still need to flesh out the story a little more
for now here are some thumbnails.

Keep going, although I am not sure if the Spikey look will maker her cute :P.

Would definitely pick 4 , reads nicely with the dress although you might want to change her hair?

i thin 4 and 12 sell the hero silhouette the best, i like 7 as well but that can fall a bit into a more villainous costume seeing from the silhouette, awesome job :smiley:

I really like the poof ball hair that you have in some of the thumbnails like 04. I know its kind of late to bring that up, but its very fun :smile:

Definitely agree with 3/4 Really helps to paint a narrative in your piece. Bit of a departure from your initial concepts, but this looks to be quite clear on what you want :D.

final stretch! Gogogogogogo
