anceyleestar: I’ve taken the liberty

I’ve taken the liberty to redraw this lovely image from Here.

I know there’s been a 3D redraw, but humor me. What I found amazing was the massive length of her entire body: Her ribcage is disconnected from her shoulders completely. And an action pose that has no clear action… yeah…

Basically I worked to fix her ribcage, her stomach, reposition her legs into something less traced-from-porn, and made her boobs more proportional to the rest of her. Also, ready to swing down mighty justice on some poor nordic monster’s head! The only thing I found worth of really keeping was her face and hair (While impractical braids are impractical, they are cool)

And then I quickly sketched out more-practical armor for her. I don’t have time to do detailed armor work, but hey. This includes a chest piece that would be battle-effective (Based on the argument that armor cleavage would actually redirect a hit into your sternum, rather than deflect it out.) Also something to protect her abdomen (AKA Easy target otherwise)

VERY nicely done!  I like the sketch of the armor around her too, that’s pretty awesome look armor.  And the pose is so much stronger and keeps all the good parts of the original while making it look much more stable and heroic.
