Requiem of the Resilient Goddess

I imagined this piece as a goddess of a forest that's been butchered, cut into pieces, limbs broken, left for dead but she was so resilient she even accepted to be "corrupted" to gain more power. I imagined the vines as a strangler fig at first, as it, despite killing the host in the end, gives a tree more endurance, and solidity against it's surroundings, but I did not like the result and went for a vine-like thing.
The weapon is a magical spear that holds fire in it, the goddess even burns her hand while holding it.
It's not quite finished just yet but I would never make it to the deadline if I added more details.
Here are the wips and wireframes:



Some renders with texture :




And clay renders (I prefer those actually - I am not very good at texturing/rendering)






I hope you guys enjoy!

This looks absolutely fantastic!!! I love the idea of the strangler vines lending short term endurance for long term damnation, it's such a fun concept!!!! The cherry blossom wings are also amazing!!
