Icy Dragon Warrior Princess! by Whoever

Yet another redesign!... Wait, what? Seriously?

Yep, this is a different design for Aleyda in at least 3 different art styles... What do you think? This design has more thought put into it but it's also... a bit wierder.

A long break killed the CYOA-style comic that starred her. Sorry for never explaining that. I kinda want to pick it back up again but I have too many other ideas right now.
Maybe as a series of shorts?

Oh neat! Of all the styles presented here, the 2nd one is my favorite! ; )

I tend to like more serious and angry lookin stuff, so I like style 1 the most.

Liking the updated design, I just hope she has something to wear when it's chilly ... or maybe she doesn't get cold, considering the ice powers. :P

Always good to have simplified distance models, where details are much less important!

@Katt:
Believe it or not I actually have two explanations for that ):D
1. She may be from a fantasy race of humans that lives in both hot and cold climates but is not used to moderate climates. Hence the tan and blond hair.
2. It´s tradition in her culture for warriors of both genders to wear this kind of silly, uncomfortable armor that barely protects anything. It´s seen as a sign of weakness to rely on heavy armor in battle. Her cape may also have some defensive properties, it´s made of Mithril.

@Tropeifier:
That´s also the advantage of using cartoonier characters with big heads and exaggerated features. They can emote well even when tiny or far away.

I like the upgrade! : ) There's more detail put into it yet it still feels like the same character. Personally I like the style 2 better, though more specifically I like how she's drawn to the left of style 1. Style 3 (chibi) would be good to have around for whenever it's more appropriate.

^^^ Very true! Exaggeration is great for clarity. No need to struggle with something too ambiguous confusing the reader.

This design emphasizes the warrior in warrior-princess, where as the previous design has a more princess vibe. This design also has small details, like the the rings holding her armor and the dragon emblem on the cape. I like this redesign.
