Yeah I think people are expecting too literal of a translation of the covers. No way they only offer a single portrait with her face covered over.

No reason why the hand/gauntlet can't be optional.

Point is take notes and put in the work These statues aren't just about bringing 2D art into 3 dimensions.
Put in the art direction and effort to come up with a concept that FEELS right not just looks like something. C'mon people.

While I have no dog in this fight because XM has priced me out of their statues, based on the options I'd vote Silvestri.

I love the overall design. But I am anxious to see how this translates into a 3D statue... the very thrusting chest, what looks like a VERY arched back, from the back, but not really from the front.

It's not a comfortable, natural pose by any means. I hope they use this image in terms of how to design the Witchblade and what to cover/expose, but put Sara's body in a better position. The breast and face are not well done in this piece of art - and I like Silverstri. This just isn't his best work. There are several better Silvestri images out there to design her face and pose her body.

Yeah, there are better Silvestri art works of Withcblade. I hope the sculptor(s) make adjustments as they go so that the body sculpt and portrait looks exceptional.

Please ask the sculptor who did Angelus to sculpt Witchblade.

I agree with the above comments, I like the overall design here, but her face isn't good and her chest just looks weird and unnatural, hopefully this is sculpted better than the art
