The Female Knight - before her bloodstained hands

This is a painting of a Female Knight who doesn't know blood, this is before her first battle, getting ready to leave the castle of her homeland, with army under her command. The reason she is looking at her hand is because she is taking one last look before having her hands to be stain by blood. bloodstained hands, will means she choose the path to sacrifice people to protect her country.
The main focus is to study the plate armour of knights, I started the sketch around May 2019, finally got the time to start and complete painting it in a day, 5 Jan 2019.
