There are so many incredible champions out there done by great artists, I'm very intimidated to be honest.

Anyway, here's my Champion. I've yet to determine which side she'll be on but for now, she sides with the Dark.

Here's a little background of my Champion:
She is the current empress of an empire called 'The Six Dunes'. Her family has been on the seat of power since its (the Six Dunes') unification and is the bearer of a weapon called 'The Immortal Slayer'. The constant struggle of that her empire faced has led Daevi to fall into despair, finally calling the power of the keepsake weapon which had eventually corrupted her.

*Now, my struggle with her is whether to keep her bald or with hair. What do you guys think?

I personally like the hair, but it seams short and functional, and doesn't say "Empress." (But it does say "warrior," which could be what you want?) Bald could be novel. If you omitted the hair, would you do anything interesting with the top of her head, like tattoos, paint, or even really short hair with designs shaved into it? Or just a fancy headpiece? What is it that lets us know that she's an Empress, aside from "The Immortal Slayer"?
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks @mdashow for the suggestions. Yes, I'm planning on a diadem-like headpiece for her (which is actually one of the weapon parts) though it is only visible once she wields the weapon. Currently working on the sketch and hope to present it soon

I surely took my time in progressing my champion's design. Here's the update; added values to Daevi's face, costume design and the Immortal Slayer (in its disengaged form)
