Portray her in not just a somewhat close future, we want to see 500-1000 years in the future, really get creative with the design.
Design a fantasy female leader. She is a Queen of Stormhaven. She is known as a charming diplomat and a cunning stategist that leads by example, from the front line. She emits a godlike aura that makes her subjects worship her as a deity. She wears a uniquely crafted and iconic armor. we want to see you capture her epic armor design.
We are emphasizing CHARACTER and DESIGN and remember, no bikini mail no exagerated boob plate armor and no skimpy leather outfits.
This is a character concept challenge and not an illustration. We want a fully rendered out design from head to toe so no crazy perspectives or stiff standing still poses, try to keep the pose interesting.
