Yes, that's exactly what the Art War is supposed to be, an art community building event in which we get to know other people and help each other improve! 
Loving your Samodiva concept, cute and threatening at the same time. The hair is great visual element.
Only critique I could have is that I'm not sure if her right leg is in the right position - feels like the thigh would barely fit there in that angle.
Can't wait to see more progress!
Thanks! A mix between beauty and creepiness/horror is exactly what I'm going for, so I'm glad it's starting to show! And yeah, you're right about the leg (the whole pose is a bit awkward imo). It's on the list of hotfixes!
Love how gestural she is - lots of free-flowing lines to imply movement and ethereal beauty. I'd push that even further, maybe with more flowing cloth bits or by pinching her torso in a bit more and giving her wider hips. She's a bit flat just in the torso area so a bit more of a butt might help emphasize her earthiness as a nature spirit.
@stewart.mittnacht Thank you! I'll definitely play around with the proportions and shapes some more, before commiting to a final design And a slight lore detail - the samodivas are indeed super beautiful, but their nature is more akin to a succubus or a harpy, rather than a nature spirit (with slight variations in the myths).
@daarkneit Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that 
I’m in love with this character design! Can’t wait to see more of them
Hey Ho I really like your Design and the idea behind it There is just one thing you may consider. If I wouldn't have read the text, I probably couldn't guess which country she's from 😲
Actualy I'm not sure if its enough to just use the flag colors or if it has to b VERY obvious xD But I'm sure you will find a great solution, already very curious .
@prinzmoana Well, it's not just the colors All the decorative elements are bulgarian designs, as well as a big part of her clothes (with the exception of the flowy side skirt). These decorative elements, obviously, are also found in other eastern european countries, but that's where the colors come in. But thank you for the feedback, I'll look into reinforcing the bulgarian feel, as any uncertainty means a weakness of the design!
@bauscheusse Thank you I'll try to make her as cool as possible!

Hello, hello!
After working on some other projects, I'm back on the samodiva!
Some redesign:
I'm thinking of ditching the weapon, as it doesn't really fit too well with the whole flowy dancing aesthetic.
Changed some proportions and design elements to reinforce the bulgarian feel. I have fantasy elements in there with some of the floating cloth pieces, but I want to make her look otherworldly and fairy-like. (Also, I just find it fun )
As for attack, she's going to suck the soul out of her enemies, but I'm still exploring other, complimentary means of attack.
I'm going to hit my head against the wall of colors some more, before presenting them to you
Have a nice day!
I love the skin color
For the clothes and accessories I would say: I like the accessories in the hair (right). Overall I prefer the feel of the dress in the left bottom corner, but combined with the shoulder pads, the cleavage and the chains of the right design... Hope you get the idea xD
I get ya
Btw, the right design is a mix of what I like from the left ones with some added tweaks. There's no cleavage, it's a necklace element. Bulgarian traditional costumes are quite 'proper' and layered in general, even the uncovered arms are my creative license and would be quite strange/scandalous historically
Thanks for the crit! 
Didn't knew the right word for what I meant (cleavage) sry haha 😅
And a rough illustration comp:
I decided to give her some slight ember/fire powers as well, as a nod towards samodivas causing droughts and the nestinarstvo tradition - a ritual where women dance on hot embers without getting burnt. The droughts and nestinarstvo aren't connected, but it's a nice double reference.
I'm a little tempted to make the enemies modern-day soldiers, but we'll see.
As for the character color-scheme - I'm still unsure about the side skirts and neck flowy parts (are they even cloth or metal??), but the base clothes have a somewhat acceptable color scheme (for now).
That's gonna be it for today - Thanks to everyone for checking it out!
I think your designs is rock solid and also Idea of her enemies are modern soldiers is amazing! It can be so much a powerful contrast
Hey! I tidied up the lineart!
Also cleaned up the design. I should add some white with patterns on her shirt, but I'm overall happy with it!
I can already feel the pain of rendering so many patterns And they're gonna have a lively red glow! 
@Brush_Tony Thank you! It's a struggle, especially with the colors' restriction
I love how fluid your line is! Also, about colour: she can be the only colored spot in front of uniformed mech/metal etc. I'm pretty sure you're able to make an awesome peace of art. Also rendering a pattern it's a pain in the ass, so may power be with you)
That is such a cool looking design, really looking forward to the finished piece! Definitely has a lot of character and I love how you keep using the moon behind her head, it really frames her nicely. If you're gonna make the patterns glow you gotta be careful you don't accidentally make your composition too busy with small glowing details which could draw the eye away from the important bits, other than that you're doing really well!
Thank you! Yeah, I like the moon for implying her nocturnal nature and giving her a bit of creepiness as well!
As for the glow, I intend it to be more like an action magic glow - on her hands, close to her body in the flowy cloth pieces (like an inner glow to frame her silhouette a bit). Think of something like Scarlet Witch, but way more subtle. But thank you for the heads-up and the kind words! ^^
Progress on the illustration. I felt it was fitting to reinforce the flight with some feather elements as well. The cloth pieces need to be fixed, as they're not following the angle/perspective of the character, but I wanted to share the WIP anyway.

Another illustration update.
I've been avoiding this illustration, because I'm not quite sure how to tackle some parts of it, but I realized I just have to suck it up and do it
