Sun God

[ChantalFournier]

I think the rendering is lovely, but I agree that she looks like she's just standing there happily. Her braids are moving but not her sash or the tassels on her costume and her face doesn't show any anger or resolve. To make it seem like she's attacking, you could lift her right foot off the ground like she's propelling herself forward and bend her right knee some. That and moving sash and tassels should do the trick. Furrow her brows.

I don't have a problem with the composition or the snake, I think they look good.
