Collected some images of personal favorites for inspiration, colors, warm tones, glorious mood - everything I think related to the light warrior.

Update - first thoughts on armor:

Searching for a high level character

[racnos]

I like where the third is going, it has a greek and valkyre feeling. Try mixing them!

[evehartman]

I really like the thumbnails, love to see what you come up with!

[alexbrewer2238]

I think it would be really cool to do a mixture of 3 and 4.

[silartworks]

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🥂

I am back from holidays, so will post an update soon. Thank you @racnos and @alexbrewer2238 for your recommendations, I am going to ‘mix’ opt. 3/4 👍🏼

Update - more details:

At first I drew lighter version with white leather, but it looked very traditional, like a paladin, so experimented with darker tones and got this. Why not silver instead gold? Also, should i add some ornaments to her boots/belt piece or even some tattoos?

P.S.: Her quiver, bow and arrows will be added later.

[racnos]

I don't think you need the tattoos, since you show almost no-skin. The design looks really solid! I can totally see that as a real game concept.

[rgdraw]

Looks great so far, nice work !

[silartworks]

Thanks @rgdraw and @racnos !

Based on previous sketch, I started to do a concept sheet, here is a line art of it:

I might add later some colours and shadows to it.
Your feedback is always welcome

[evehartman]

Looks like a very solid champion, awesome job. great balance in the armour between the leather and the metal. Any illustration drafts yet?

[rgdraw]

Great work! I like your line work

[silartworks]

@evehartman thank you, glad you like her I hope the armor isn't too heavy.
@rgdraw thanks for the support!

I made some pose thumbnails too:

What do you think which one represents her the most?

[ipos]

For me the third one is more epic and "look like a champion". The second variant is also good.

[arkkmelai]

I like the dynamics in the second variant and something epic on the background

[innocent]

Hey!
3 is a badass catwalk, more oriented to the keyword "epic".
2 is more oriented toward "war".
Both are nice, but another recent contest has proven that your best thumbnail will be the 4th.

[silartworks]

Oh hi @innocent , nice to meet you again 😄
@arkkmelai I struggle with backgrounds, but will see what I can do😬
Looks like 2 and 3 goes equally good and it’s hard to pick one, so let’s keep voting 😉😄

[mdashow]

While they're all nice, I personally like the 2nd more than the third. Number 2 has action and is dynamic, while number 3 is quiet, contemplative and not war-like at all. It's nice that we are looking up at her... maybe you could try something with a low camera angle and more of a dynamic action shot?
Good luck whatever you choose!

[rgdraw]

I like 3 too, but like @mdashow said maybe try that with a more dynamic pose and you'll have something really great!

[silartworks]

Little update - option 4:

Maybe this one is more “dynamic” version of option 3?🤔 or should I stick with a previous pose...hmmm
