Beautiful work.Β I love the green, and it really complements her red hair.
I must also congratulate you on the realistic armour design.Β I know it's kind of silly to talk about realism in a fantasy piece, but it makes me so happy to see something practical.

it's not silly at all. The fact there is magic and creatures doesn't change (unless precised) that humans are humans and fighters are fighters. As fighters, they would want the most practical designed to go to battle. And unless the fantasy context is different, History is the best source to know what a practical and effective armor is.
This one is both beautiful and quite fairly accurate. And , thanks god, there are not those silly plate boobs too often portrayed.
I truly hope she has a helmet, that said...

I like the colour scheme a lot here and the design of her armour, as always in your works, is very cool - thank you for sharing!

I am trying to find a word that means 'beyond awesome'....

Hmm. I love this overall, but I think it's the first time I've found one of your portraits' hairlines awkward; it looks a little like she's wearing a wig.
I'm not sure how to explain why, but I think it's some combination of the, hmm, rounded edge of the hairline in both dimensions. The leading edge is all upcurved, like a wig's using an upswept underlayer to conceal the edge of the scalp cap, and then also the contours around the scalp--over the ear, in front of the ear, along the side-hollows of the skull, up to the center brow, seems also too evenly curved, rather than a more varied edge (a bare curve behind the ear; a slight cluster of hair in front of it, and also a forward curve over the hollow brow-sides of the skull, and often a slight widow's peak at the top point of the forehead).
A lot of words for a minor distraction; sorry!

Excellent work. Really like the armour and her sword, both look accurate and the right size for her.
