Gentle Protector WIP II

WIP 2 - done quite a bit in just two days - finished the skirt (save some final detailing), worked on the background some more, started filling in the skin details and blocked in the sword.

I have totally and utterly lost count of how long this has taken me so far, but I've been working on it this week after work for a few hours each night.

Still to do:
Skin / face
Corset top
Ribbons (blocked in but need shadows etc)
Hair
Sword
Sort those two dratted foreground trees out
Lantern in far hand
Flying motes and sparkies (ambience)
Foreground plant/flower

Pose reference (and skirt inspiration) from
