Carlos DÃ-ez commission

[Shandil]

After some talks, i've arranged a commission with Carlos Diez for a bitonal piece using aerograph and mixed techniques (i'd post an example but not sure of nudity in this forum, and the only example in his website is for a topless painting.
It's going to be a piece featuring Red Sonja, and i've just gotten four options for the piece to take. I'm 99% going for the second one, even though a friend told me he found the high heel boots to be weird (but considering how Carlos uses strong photo reference (actually the pieces come from photos he takes to models) and the fact i like the weirdness they bring).
Third one was tempting with the shield but i find the pose of the shield arm a bit strange with it resting on the inner part of the arm.
Well here are the different options. Feedback appreciated as always (btw size will be approx 13x19"):

I would go with the first one, but the second doesn't look bad either.

It's a toss between one and two, leaning towards one also.

I like the posture & facial expression of the first one. The skulls are a nice touch as well.

I personally like 2 better. I think it captures the character of Sonja better rather than just being a sexy pinup.

first one

First one looks best to me. Pose two and three suffer a little from the pose and how far apart her stance is - looks a little like she's squating a little. My choice would be to go for 1!

can't go wrong with the first 2 ... but as others, leaning toward 1

I like the first one best, too. Great stuff!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Small update.
I'm finally going with the second option, i feel it's less of a sexy posing one, and more battle stanced (well with high heels that is , we're talking about removing them, but i'm not completely sure, it's a mixed feeling).
He's sent me a new scan letting me choose if i want to add some elements, i'm definitely going with them!
