Hi there! I am super excited about this contest and hope that I can learn a lot along the way. It's quiet intimidating to participate along side so many amazing Artists but I am going to give my best and wish everybody the best of luck!
The idea for my character would be a righteus and kind queen that was overthrown by her own people for the sake of power. She was tortured and left in the Dungeon to die. As an ancestor of the ancient magicians she posseses some sort of magic I am still not quiet sure about. After hundreds of years the humans fled from the land because of war or something like that and left her alone. She breaks out and now seeks revenge for what has been done to her. Wandering over the empty fields of her former Kingdom, she is searching for the ones that betrayed her to brutaly kill all of them, not knowing how much time has passed
Here are some rough silhouetts I made to start of:
Englisch isn't my first language as you might have noticed, so I am very sorry the countless spelling and grammer mistake I made.
Anyway I hope I am doing this the right way. I have never used these Forum before so I hope am not breaking any rules right now. If you have any advice please go ahead and tell I am thankful for every suggestion!
And I hope my text isn't to long and boring to read so I better stop writing now
Nice backstory 
Like the silhuettes. Is this going to be more zombie like character or a spirit, like wraith?
@serovero Thank you so much!
I think I am going for a more Zombie like character to really emphazise what she went through
Welcome to the forums! I didn't see any sort of rule or anything that you might be breaking or anything of the sort, so nothing to worry about there. I think the rules generally break down to not being a jerk and keeping all of the images posted to a "safe for work" level.
If you are going for more of a zombie look with a battered queen I think that large one on the bottom left might be your best bet, or the one slightly to the right of it. In the future if you number your images it can be a bit easier to provide feedback.
Looking interesting, can't wait to see some more!
Ok so here are some really, really rough design Sketches to start out
I went with the last one of the silhouettes to be able to show of a little more of her body and let her have a malnourished Zombie like look. But because I want to show that she was really Beautiful before as well I try to find a matching mid-range between Zombie and normal Person
@PeterH Thank you so much for commenting!
I totally agree with you About the silhouette but I deciede I am not going after a complete Zombie look, else I would have defenitely rolled with that one on the left as well, thanks again for taking your time to look at my stuff!
I like 2 and 3 for what you have described now, the exposed face should let you cover the beauty aspect while the exposed skin around the legs and the collar bone should help the zombie part. Blending the beauty and the zombie will certainly be interesting.
25 days later
After a lot of forth and back with no results I decieded to change my character. I just couldn't come up with a matching character design for her so I decieded to ask my little brothers for some Input and here is what they wanted me to do:
A four legged monster woman with huge claws
So here are some of the concepts I came up with
