Maybe protective talismans? Or a necklace of skulls.

Well done! The darker coloration with the additional wear and tear on her armor really enhances her overall look quite nicely. Good work with the extra shine on the metal bits as well.

I'd say to make her design just one complete piece instead of a gap in the thigh portion.

the man was already on fire you didn't have to stab him now he's double dead and have to pay twice as more to death

These are pretty groovy. I like the silver cross being more exposed. The linework is pretty solid as well, though I'd do a bit thicker to make the character really pop in some areas like in the debut piece. I'd keep playing with the browns more too. They don't mesh as much here compared to the previous works, which is a definite plus. I'd also probably keep the thigh tats to help contrast with the dimmer colors of brown and grey. HOWEVER, this is still a really great design you're playing with and I'm sure you'll get there soon😎
