First concepts of poses
Rough sketch of the pose
A few hours in WIP
WIP shot of the body/armor done mostly, the most difficult part of this was her outstretched hand and getting the sword to look right.
Shatter/mesmer effect finding the perfect shape for the shards was another difficult thing.
Adding the image effect to the shards was alot easier then their shape.
