This is what I have been working on. It's approximately a foot tall figure sculpture made form an oil based clay called, "Monster Clay".

Work in progress. This version was pretty close to being finished before I sent out for critiques.

In response to great critiques from some peers I changed a few things. I needed to tighten up some areas and make other things more feasible to a functional character; like not tripping over her front tabard. :) I also took a few more ques from the original concept from Blizzard.
Over all I had a ton of fun with this illustration and can't wait for the next challenge. Here's to fingers crossed on placing in the contest.
