CRIMSON ARENA 1-Child of Zeus

[PabloNotPicasso]

I want to start being more active on here, and this challenge is definitely a good way to go about that. I've decided to do Athena, acting in her role as the goddess of war. She will be standing with a giant owl spirit on rubble surveying a battlefield.

Here are four composition thumbnails. Hopefully later today I'll submit concept sketches for her helmet and armor, as well as the owl spirit itself. I'm looking for feedback on how the pose reads, how the value grouping works for the image, and which thumbnail's composition conveys the most "heroic" feel.
