Sword out of sheath. Give her a battle like pose. Red armour to go with all the blood, or blue to contrast with it. Hmmm... blue. A light blue could look nice. What are you using to paint with? Watercolour?
Yes, watercolor. I'm a novice water color artist. Emphasis on novice. ::head desk-thunk::
I just really think red is her color, but I like blue more, and this piece is turning out a bit melancholy so blue seems kind of right.
Ooo, you must show me once you're done. I'm almost finished writing something that I have been picking at for a while. We can do a swap.
If you go with sword in sheath then you should have her hand grasping the hilt.
I think I probably will go sword in sheath.
And of course you'll see it immediately.
