Need help and suggestions for my character design!

[granite tangle]

okay so I made this half-assed concept of my OC Mendeleev, I don't know if this is honestly worth keeping/scrapping

my concept for this is that maybe this could serve as a potential diff form for her, a slightly less humanoid alternative form of her default design. Her body is made entirely out of delftware (blue and white porcelain), glued and formed together to make a humanlike form by means of melted gold.

On her skull, there's a small crack where the gold oozes out, and it sort of serves as her hair.

Any suggestions on how to elevate the concept better? any insights are welcome! and pings too

here's her default design as reference

This is a super neat design! I think the wings don’t really read like stained glass immediately to me, maybe color the line-art or make the feathers sharper, or broken up into more geometric shapes? If you sharpened them you could even go the route of making the primary and secondary feathers look like broken shards. Just a thought :)

Hello!! I love your OC’s design so much but the brightness of the wings washes out the character’s armor. If you slap a greyscale over it, the values are even, and there’s no focal point. Darkening the wings would make it pop more :D

I suck at explaining so I made a thing

WAIT I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE PAINTOVER!!
I see what you mean now, the visuals helped a lot!

I'll keep you guys updated regarding the design, I'll probably revise this around the month of February. I'll take note of your feedback, as well as @lone shoal's!

also thank you guys! am glad that you like her design ^^
