This is where I got to with those thumbs today. I'm instinctively drawn to the one on the right. I think it brings out the compassion of the character. But I like the simplicity of the middle comp, which brings out her strength - another important trait of hers. The one on the left feels compositionally weak to me at the moment, BUT would allow me to add another narrative feature (secondary character watching from the stairwell). This thumb also has her looking up towards heaven, which emphasises her faith (she's a kind of preacher and matyr in training...long story). So...all of the thumbs kind of capture the character in a different way and I can't choose.
Feel free to comment and help me decide :)
