Little tighter sketch... going to attempt digital painting it. VERY outside my comfort zone, pen & ink is my typical working method... but, I really want to develop this style. Thanks for looking!

When I first saw this, it made me think of the "Liberty Leading the People" painting by Eugène Delacroix. Good luck with the digital painting. Looking forward to the final.

@andyjewett Very nice! I hear you. This is where I tend to stop. I am also pushing myself into more color and background work. I look forward to seeing how you get on. Good luck!

UPDATED IMAGE... I unfortunately ran out of time to finish this (too many projects rolling right now). But it has sparked some story ideas so I am going to keep picking at it. Congrats to the winners and thanks to SVS Admins for hosting a contest that has given me some fresh ideas.
