She looks amazing. I like your decision to make the top shorter to show off more of her glorious ab muscles, and I like your suggestion to make the belt, handle of the mace and shield the same leather as her boots and pauldron. Speaking of them, I really like how those additions look on her design and I'll definitely include them next time I draw her.
The muscle detailing also looks amazing, and I'd say it perfectly captured the type of muscle detailing I envision her having. I especially like how the aforementioned abs look, as well as her biceps.
The various gems on her design look good as well, and I love the shade of violet you used for her eyes. It nicely matches the gems, which is the rough idea I have for her and the other elves in her group.
Thank you again for drawing this and helping me improve and evolve her design

Nothing wrong with that . I think it's a good idea.
That makes sense, and I will definitely work with that idea moving forward, as with the two straps.
As long as it's not too over the top, I agree . It can look amazing as well.
That is a fair point and something else I will keep in mind moving forward.

There are other ways to hold a shield, like with a strap that goes over the opposite shoulder, much more comfortable to hold it for a long time but that is more of horseback riding.
I agree.

Makes sense. And I did SORT of suggest that in my piece, with her wearing the shield across her back when she's walking around.

That is VERY true. I am considering the idea that they can "summon" these weapons from some kind of magical "hammerspace" as and when they need them. That said, I still feel they'd have the weapons to hand in a dangerous situation (i.e. a vampire's castle) so carrying a heavy shield on the back is a wise option.

I don't know, I still like seeing the weapons when they walk around. Most of my characters have them on a sheath or hanging some way from the belt or back. Although Ariel has a bag of holding (so she carries a lot of stuff around) she still keeps her weapons and other things close at hand.

Makes sense.
I'm still figuring out the "rules" of their powers, but I always envisioned the weapons being generated by the gems. One possibility being so long as they wear their belt, they can call the weapons to them from hammer space/bag of holding/the gems, but I need to iron that out.

Ok, those are options.
There are advantages to having the weapons disappear. I have a friend that really doesn't like some of my designs of Ariel with her equipment. Specially the more fancy dresses, when the line is cut it's something people that know about this stuff really don't appreciate. In any case, when she is wearing the fancy dresses to go to a party that she expects to be dangerous she can use illusions to make the equipment invisible or have a gem to summon it.

I'll take my chances. I can be quite the smooth talker when I want to be.

I will let the owner of the character say how she would react to smooth talk.

On second thought. Nah. I'm good.

Yeah. When you said you would tattle on me.

I would not tattle, just saying I don't know how she would react

At best, she'd ignore the person. At worse, a mace to the face.
