Appreciate all the positive feedback everyone, likers included..
Took another few days of rest and finally got around to working on the 3D model. WAS going to use a base mesh i had but decided to see what a more stylistic mesh would look like.
So made this today start to finish so this is a brand new mesh made specifically for this contest.
It is very rough but wanted to update the thread.
Some comic D.G. references to help, I think it will work out once i figure out her body thickness and have the other bits be more bulkier so hopefully they all work well.
(still have the old base mesh if anyone feels i shouldn't do this.)
Was aiming for about 8.5 heads tall, ears, eyes, lashes, brows are temp since those all will probably be covered by the helmet, though i might do something so it can be lifted, still undecided.
Face will change.

Much to do still, rough, wanted to wait to update but this shows its new still being rough.
