Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu

final render

rough sketch
i wanted to make here look more majestic and elegant so i made her pose from the front view and added a lot of line elements to show her bright sun aspects

after making a hard block shape of the character i tried to outline it with some shading to see how i want the details to look like and remove parts that i don't want in the finish product

after adding the base color and shade, i made a few alteration o her head and hair to make it look shinier than expected

before the final rendered i made a few adjustment on her hands and lighting to max her appearance
