Here is a moodboard to begin with:
Some character design i come up with. One is queen Cersei version the other is Lannister armor.
IV looks like too much to an existing skin, i'll probably change the color scheem or juste get rid of this design.
Feel free to tell me your preference.
There will probably be a "king" somewhere. We'll see with the thumbnails.
Ciao!
Here is a first batch of thumbnails. As per usual critiques and comments are more than welcome.
Since it's still messy I'll treat you with a short description for each one.
I. Cheers! I hope you enjoy the show. That's what she could say while destroying a castle by throwing orbs and a guy.
It would be nice if she was looking at the viewer, for now she's staring at an orb. I'll correct that along with a more "royal" posture and outfit.

II. I like the composition and framing of her head between her legs. Unfortunately it doesn't show much of her body. This proposition will certainly not see further iteration.
-
III. Flying on her throne to the top of a tower, she's coming to say "hi" to a king and destroy some of his possessions.
-
IV. Just experimenting with her outfit. I'll probably invert arms and draw a background.
-
V. Checkmate! Mostly like III, but with a more elegant posture which suit her well. The king is now a cast shadow on her throne instead of being a proper character.
For now the visual is cut in 5 equal parts and there are to much elements "pointing at things" which are enormous flaws. I'll correct that since for now it's my favourite.
-
VI. Aaaaaaaaaah. That's it. It was entertaining to draw but will not go further...maybe.
Tl;dr: That's not that long. Come on!
Here is a bit more of design. This time i worked on her costume, i made a pattern for the fabric and designed the armor.
You will also find some facial expression tests. I'm a bit concerned about her facial features in general, it seems she is quite different on each of her splash. If you have any preference, please tell me. (yes, i know, the lion on the shoulder pad looks baked).

I'm currently installing Syndra's comfy fireplace:
I guess i have still some work to do.

Very ominous....
@Silvarspark Good call. Thanks! I made some adjustment in this direction.
Almost done:
Thank you all for your advices and comments.
See you on my Jinx thread :^)
