So, this one took me longer than I expected. In addition, I fell victim to the seasonal flu, which further impeded my progress on my personal projects.
In any case, I am fairly happy with how this Klyuch "character reference" turned out. Chainmail armor is pretty underrated in media nowadays, so I really wanted do represent her wearing a hauberk, while still spicing her design up with some fancy belts, buckles and decorations.
While not fully consistent in itself, this image will definitely help me represent her more consistently in future illustrations. Now, of course, I need to do one for her face, as well as reference sheets for a number of other characters…
