I took inspiration from God of War for this character, they had the Valkyrie bosses in the game which I took my own spin on. This character is a fallen angel, the body is meant to symbolize an ashen figure burnt. I made this evident in the cloth by drawing it torn up and darkened. I went through some wing designs but ultimately I really enjoyed the separated feathers. I stuck to a colorless palette to really symbolize the loss of color as corruption, this is also seen in the face as corruption slowly spreads.
