Thanks for this shiny & holy warrior, @konaqua, as well as for the detailed step-by-step explanation!

Your choice of mixing a catholic icon / heroine with a pagan spiritual background (Jeanne being protected by a Freya and Odin's emissary) is spot on - after all, Jeanne can be interpreted as a witch, a feminine caretaker for her people, guiding them towards freedom - even if I guess that some monotheist folks could be shocked by such an association ;-)

Kudos!!!

Hehe. I'm glad you like it. I think the original is named "Joanne of Arc" from those that I read but she really suits as the maiden Valkyrie and guide for the warrior's souls.

I'm really happy someone can relate to what I was planning to do or say as the story of the art work.

You're welcome!! 🙃

Yes, "Joanne" is the ancient version of "Jeanne" (which is actually a Pagan name, just like "John" in English). Jeanne d'Arc is considered today as the savior of the French nation and praised for her deeds against the English occupation.

By the way, is there any possibility that the Splinterlands Team would select your character for a future cards collection?

I honestly didn't know that Jeanne D Arc was a real accepted name. I thought it was just wordplay used by different artists.

Yes, there's always that possibility that the team might use my idea, or if fortunate, the drawing itself. The winner of the contest though doesn't get their artwork turned into a card but make it as an nft for sale instead.

But I would like it if the Splinterlands team add my card into their game. That's my end goal for joining their contests.
