Stained Knightess (CLOSED)

Hello! This is my entry for the contest. It was a lot of fun creating this piece, and I hope you enjoy it! 
I chose to depict a knightess in a highly ornate armor to better reflect the light rays.
To bring a lot of color into the artwork, I used a colorful stained glass window as the background. I believe that out of all the works I've created, this one was the most complex in terms of lighting and rendering. It was also a huge challenge to model all the clothing/armor, as they have very complex shapes.
To create the artwork, I used Blender for LookDev and Grooming, Zbrush for Modeling, Marvelous Designer for the clothing, and Substance Painter for the textures. Photoshop was only used to slightly adjust the colors and for making the posts.
In total, there were over 100 textures in 4K. The main image was rendered in 8K.
Thank you to Render Hub for hosting this amazing contest!
