I don't envy whoever has to judge this contest! And thank the Maker I'm not a judge myself, because I'd call 'winner' in an instant. Not just because of the obvious friend bias, but because I love the overall atmosphere of this piece. I'm not shocked that her armour and scimitar were highlights for you; check out that crystal texture of the blade!





You know, having done a speed-read of her backstory before I wrote this analysis, I can't begin to describe how much of an impact your interpretation of her armour makes; not just visually but symbollically. An audience can just sense the nobility, heroism, and purity radiating from her. You just get the vibe that she is destined to save the lives of those in need. And that's putting aside the fact that the world of fiction seems to love thier white attire + blue sword combo for heroes *cough* Luke Skywalker *cough* Siegfried from Soul Calibur.



- when I learn that this lass has come back from the dead twice! Dare I say there's something almost holy about it. Didn't Leila say she got her shield from an angel? The snowy forest, now that I think about it, actually gives off quite a ghostly vibe, and that idea just gives me further chills - pun not intended!- when I learn that this lass has come back from the dead twice! Dare I say there's something almost holy about it. Didn't Leila say she got her shield from an angel?





What I'm basically trying to say Astral, is that you've truly delivered with this. It just screams all the ideas and themes that a character of Argentea's description would have. Noble. Pure. Valiant. Angelic. Protector. And a symbol of life (cheated death twice and vows to end her undead former suitor).











I'd wish you good luck in the contest, but in my honest opinion you don't need it

The way you've depicted her really embodies that age-old term. Feel free to take that remark as either cheesy or inspiring
