Unlike the pictures that Klaus included upthread, the Soldier art depicts a woman with a hairpin that is longer than the entire width of her head.  This is similar to the 2nd picture (the one without a helmet), but if a hairpin is used in the 1st and 3rd pictures, they are smaller and not visible.2. Unlike the 1st of Klaus' pictures which depicts a helmet that is wide/large enough to sit atop the piled elaborate hairstyle and unlike Klaus' 3rd picture which depicts a hat/helmet sitting atop the hair and not really protecting the head, our D&D Soldier is holding a full helm.  Unless she has a hidden set of eyes in her hair or forehead, that helm will need to fit snugly upon her head in order for her to see through the eye holes.3. Whatever the blue stones/adornments are they look like they're quite sizeable and solid.  Even if this soldier was wearing a helmet that accommodated the hairpin (and she's not), I don't think having the equivalent of two rocks stuck between your skull/hair and your helmet is a good idea.  She looks like a woman playing dress-up as solider vs. an actual soldier to me.  The women in Klaus' pics 1 & 2 look like warriors to me.  Pic 3, like our soldier here, looks like she's wearing something purely for ceremonial reasons.The makeup thing is strictly a preference and the least of my issues with the picture.  She looks pretty, not tough.  That's fine as it goes more towards a Mulan-style depiction, it just wouldn't be my choice for an iconic-style representation.... and you still have the freakishly-oversized left hand.It's an opinion on one piece of art, not an indictment of the product.</blockquote>
