Penciled version of my drawing.

I'm fairly pleased with Vhaine's armor and general appearance, but various parts of Dynast are yet left undone. These have been highlighted and numbered for critique.

I: Her outstretched hand. Ideally, I would like to do something more animated up here (for instance, her casting frost magic) but for now I want to focus on the design of this hand.

I don't want her wearing the same gauntlet she does on her right, but I'm stuck debating if I want to do a featureless glove or have her wearing a bangle of some kind.

II: Her hair. Usually it is in a loose bun, but I was thinking of drawing it loose or otherwise changing the style.

III: Her hair #2. The bangs sweeping around and looking fluid yet matching the style of Vhaine's hair is what I want to aim for.

IV: Her leg. Generally, this is again a costume design issue (do I want to follow my original concept, do something new, or draw the outline and fade it out so it doesn't distract from Vhaine or the general flow of the piece)?

V: Her pauldron. Another design issue. Usually this part is flanged, but with as plain as she looks in comparison to Vhaine's spiky and elaborate armor, I was thinking it might be possible to add some flair here with ice, feathers, or some other somewhat ornate design to spruce her up.

Input would be appreciated.
