I like your painting style and I like the way she looks so strong and you didn’t fear to put some muscles on her. She’s a fighter after all, she must have the strength to lift her sword. It’s something, that is important for Norn in my opinion. A Norn woman in my interpretation, by still being beautiful in its way, should not be depicted as delicate or shy, since that not how they’re taught to be. They want be seen as legendarily heroic, strong and fearsome after all.
her hair looks really cool and I like the perspective, since it lets her look more massive, which is good when you want to draw a giant-like character.
I think there’s something wrong with the anatomy of the torso though. I feel like it looks a bit to much like that of a guy. i think it is because of the way the flanks and the beginning of the leg at the hip are drawn.
The boobs that come out above the armpit look a bit weird, since with humans the boobs start lower.
Also confusing is the bikini top. I mean considering the cold weather it is understandable that you can see her nipples through clothing, when the clothing is thin and soft. but this looks like metal…and that would be some really supernaturally hard nipples.
you could also think about the right arm and hand. the arm look a bit too broad in relation with the left one, the upperarm seems to be slightly too long and the hand looks a bit to small in relation to the arm…even when you consider the perspective.
She seems like strong character and I would have the suggestion to make her look a bit more active, less “passive fantasy bikini babe”- like. I’d make her look at the camera.
i think you wanted to show of her awesome hair, so you tilted the head, but it makes her look more passive and open. She’s practically presenting her neckline, which could be deadly under certain circumstances.
For a character like her, I’d make her look more on guard. Considering the story with her parents she probably has her fair share of trust issues.
Even when you keep the head tilted, she should have control over the her surroundings and look straight at you.
I made a paintover to figure things out, if you’re interested I could send it to you.
