1 is a classic sword, but I'm also a big fan of 5 and 6. They all go really nicely with her design!
Woaw, Really cool story, I love these kind of character developement !
For the sword design I like the 1 which is really classic and well balance but I also love the way the 7 remind me fire !
For the shield, your left one is certainly the most impressive and it will surely bring fear upon the enemys and I love the shape as well !
Thank you, it's great to know that you liked the story! The shield and sword are really hard to work on, so the feedback is very helpful, thanks a lot!!
Doing some color tests for vasilisa, nothing too refined. I used such colors to remember fire, and I tried different colours for the veil and skirt, but liked it better red. Which one do you think is the best? I personally like number 3 the most...
Nice progress on the character! I am looking forward to see more.
Thanks! I will post more soon!
Took me a while to finish this one... I'm not a professional and still learning about digital art, but it's the best that I could do. I know that a concept sheet is not necessary for the competition, but I wanted to do it.
I still want to do a lot more, but I'm already going to start thinking of my final composition for her.
All the support that I received from all of you has been really good for me and kept me going, so thank you so much!
As always, feel free to give feedback, positive or negative.
Experimenting is the best practice any artist can get. I think her design is nice!
Thank you so much!
Thinking about some attack and defense positions for the final illustration... 
Lots of good stuff, good job! I appreciate you taking the time to work on other illustrations of her too, just be careful with the time constraint, only a little over a week left!
Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to do way more, but I guess I don't have much time... I'm keeping an eye on the deadline and hope I do ok. Thanks for the warning!
Which one is your favourite? 
Considering the brief requires your character to either be attacking or defending (and preferably 80% of the design of your character showing) then I'd say 3 and 4 are my personal faves, although 2 is pretty good as well if just needing a little bit of composition work
Thank you!
So, after thinking about some attack and defense positions for her, I decided to go for something like the 2nd thumbnail that I've done, because it was my favourite pose and decided to work on it a little more. This is my idea for the final composition, it's just a really rough lineart, but I will refine it more before colouring. Her sword will be on fire, since it's the power that it has and in the backgorund I may add some villages on fire...
