Description
De Valkyrja is a concept that I am developing in my spare time. The plan is to create a series of battle-maidens type of characters, each specialises in different weapon, and in some way correspond to the image of the valkyries in Norse myth.In my own version of story, these maidens were choosen by the temple as they were believed to be the valkyries. They were then sent to the battle field to aid the side that's favoured by the god in an indirect way -- since they are the valkyries, their presence alone could cause the rise and fall of morale to either side. As elite riders, warriors and with great team-work, they usually would manage to stay alive at the end of battle and keep up their reputation as the valkyries
Like the valkyries in the myth, they are fair and beautiful, and among them there's one who instead of a particular type of weapon, wields the infamous raven banner which is usually pure white, and only shows signs in form of a raven just before the battle to reveal which side would win the victory.
This is the first completed piece of this project. Hope I've made it work

The pose, colors and composition work for me too.
I think the whole painting would look better if the head was bigger!?
With the low horizon I think the face would be viewed more from below.
Still an amazing image.

I don't have a problem with the character's pose and proportions. She's viewed from below, so there's perspective distortion that makes her head and upper body appear smaller than they would if she where viewed straight on. She's looking down at the viewer, rather than gazing off into the distance, which I think gives the image more impact.

The perspective may indeed look a bit unrealistic. I worked the figure out of my head and tried to kept her vaguely 8 head-lengths (she's quite tall, as all the valkyries) with slight increase
from head to toe in order to induce the upshot feel, but might just overdo it

I really like the slight contrapasto and the direct gaze. Very good work!

I added more elements to it and updated the artwork. Hopefully this has improved the image not the other way round
