Female Warrior concept illustration character design update

Female Warrior concept illustration character design update.

I have some time to work on the piece again this weekend, it's almost there...
Well, the whole piece is now kind of set, but I will still have to do some clean up and simplify the overall image a bit more. Then, if possible I might do some light tweaking to make it more dramatic. Also I will have to polish her metal armor (*check out video tutorial of similar process art tutorial draw and paint knight armor metal and art tutorial draw and paint gold armor ) a little bit more. But for now I am going to leave it for a couple days. Look away, then come back to take a final look at it and see if there is anything I can do to make this look better.
Also I might have to refine her hair (*See video how to draw render hairand how to draw and render female lips) a little more and clean up her face (How to draw a woman face 3/4, learn how to paint face portrait). Possibly add some definition to her right arm muscle (drawing body muscle tutorial.)

Anyway, here is the image so far
