Very good entry!

From the four frames you have provided I can already tell that you did a very consistent job with it. The General design is pretty good, had no comments about the in-game portion. With this piece my biggest issue with it is indeed the inventory view. I feel it doesn't do the in-game portion justice.

What I think you should do to improve the inventory:
-Start reworking your line art. Don't worry about shading or even coloring it until
the line art fits the general design.
-That little hook that you have on the blade is great on the in-game but on the inventory
feels too large and not smooth.
-Lastly the whole inventory feels quite large in comparison to the in-game frames.

This is really my only issue with the piece is the inventory. You have greatly improved since your previous work. Very well done! I look forward to any final edits you make.

This was a creative piece!

I really liked the general concept you have with these, the inventory views are by far the best thing about this piece. While this piece is consistent from inventory to in-game, I feel the in-game line art falls short.

Let's start with the female, the front view is my major issue with this. The players right (Furthest shoulder back) appears to be dropped down like the right in the inventory rather than being on the shoulder like the inventory depicts. The back view on the other hand is pretty well done, and my only complaint is the "90" I think you should use the purples so it stands out more and doesn't blend into your gold.

Now onto the male, This is literally they opposite.. The males front view is pretty well done as for matching the  inventory. My only suggestion is to not make it so wide. The back on the other hand has the same issue with the "90" but also the bottom of the shirt is not very isometric. The biggest issue for me with this is the collar.. It is bad.

My suggestions:
-Change the "90" to purple
-On female front view fix the far back shoulder.
-On the male front make it thinner
-On the male back fix the collar and isometric-ness of the white shirt.

I honestly really like this piece and look forward to any edits you may make.
Over all a pretty solid entry!

Nurd asked me to make a entry to showcase the route I would have taken.
