All the variants look amazing. I especially love the combo of wings and horns. Just the horns gives off a lot of Loki vibes, and just the wings is stereotypical Valkyrie. Mash 'em together and it looks really cool and unique! I can't wait for this, in any case.
The helmet on the far right, with the body of the far left. I'd say with the molding you have already on the sides of the helm is sufficient for the winged helmet style. Adding another set of wings seems a bit excessive, not to mention it reminds me of the Grey Warden armor. Not that it's a bad thing.
I hope you'll try making a more plain set of plate armor at some point, no one can doubt you're very talented at making the ornate type of armor. Cheers.
I saw the Grey warden armor being mentioned twice and i had to check it(i'm not familiar with the dragon age series) and i fail to see the resemblance. But then again, i guess we tend to associate what we see with what we are most familiar with. I pretty much took inspiration in Berserk, Xena warrior princess's valkyries,Thor(movie) and Fate Zero.
Princess's Valkyrie? You don't mean this http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/ufovalkyrie/images/b/be/Valkyrie_adult.gif/revision/latest?cb=20091013021509 by any chance? or its from Xena
AT long last, I got message from you, Stephie! Well, both of them have similar wings, right? Well, the fact you remember Xena episodes is a feat in itself.
Zerofrost is at it again! Being legendary that is. It looks amazing! I personally think the black fabric on the skirt contrasts well with the gray metal.
That is one short-ish sword.
And, having the option of the long red skirt or not, or two helmet variants, are a huge plus.
The shot perspective gives you the impression of the sword being short but it's not. Standing next to the armor model, it goes from the ground to the middle of the abdomen. I'm thinking about shortening it a bit later.
The horns and the feathers in the helmet remind me of the two opposites between Valkyries. Crusader type versus Dark Valkyrie, villainess type. So that's a thing.
There's room to play around if the armor should be seen as holy, intimidating, noble, barbarian, make sense? Again I'm referring to bringing variation and customisation to the armor.
Maybe this is just me, I really like straight, un-ornamented metal, so those arms and legs are just perfectly covered in my opinion. Just like the red skirt, I liked the fact it's nice and neat like it is now, but if you'd rip it and divide it like the Blood Witch for example, there's more variation!
The first on the left is highly attractive. It would look better with horns though. the way you have presented golden shoulder ornament I just thought that hrons and shoulder 'feathers' can be the only or at least the most prominent golden parts, it would give quite an asymmetric look. Well, I will leave it all to you! Considering making in the future diamond-crystal-ice armour filled with the light coursing through it. More of a divine armour. It is a wonder that you get inspirations from so many good anime but you skip Saint Seiya!

I'm sure it will end in another masterpiece, coming from your hands, so good luck with the progress!
And happy holidays.
