Final outcomes - VALKYRIE


While I'm happy with the colour choices and composition used for the text page for Valkyrie, I think her character illustration is the weakest of the set. She was the last one to complete on my list and with simultaneous responsive and cop deadlines I let this fall by the wayside a bit and could have dedicated more time to making sure she was right before wrapping the project.
Valkyries are female warriors that appear on Viking battlefields to carry off dying soldiers to Valhalla, where they will feast and fight forever. I based her design here on my earlier Thor illustration, as most of the existing depictions of Valkyries have them very scantily clad, which I don't feel works anymore, especially in this project.
I feel that she could be more distinct from Thor than she is, and I could use different colours and shapes to achieve this, but time constraints meant I didn't have enough time as I would have liked to be able to mess around and make sure she was right. I'd also revise her general shape, as I don't think she communicates the character of warrior woman as clearly as the other female character, Hela, does.
