Hilda looks pretty good in that camo winter suit. I like that you put a mask on her to cover her mouth from freezing and also the googles to protect her eyes so she can see clearly under the blizzard (though she's not using them for now). Wait... that is a German hand grenade, isn't it? also i noticed... what is that logo you put on her chest and hat?
Btw, just one suggestion, i think you could try shorter hairstyle to avoid clipping with the collar. Other than that, she looks great :)
My friend, thank you so much for such compliments and short yet accurate analysis on her :). Yes, that is indeed a german hand grenade, Stielhandegranate 24 to be exact. Rather easy to identify having a clear shape of stick with the explosive part being at the top of it. With the googles I wanted her to have them on her head like that so her face could still be identified By the viewers, altough I could also make the version where she wears them on her eyes for the illustration and screenshot purposes. The logo on her chest and hat are meant to resemble the chest and cap eagles used in the german ww2 era uniforms. Same thing with the hat, with the addition of having skull below it to resemble the sign combination used by the SS troops in their field caps during ww2.
I have considered using shorter hairstyle on her to avoid the clipping problem with the collar. The thing is just that the way I see it, it kinda wouldn´t be the same character if I changed her hairstyle or any other body or facial feature. I´m actually ready to tolerate such small problems for the sake of keeping her shape as original as possible with these alternative attires XD.
