Ragnarok OnlineSinX and Alchemist costume redesign

My wife decided to redesign the costume of her Ragnarok Online Alchemist, so I decided to do the same to my Assassin Cross. :D
I haven't shaded mine yet, that's why he looks a bit flat.

My wife asked me to sketch up a concept of one of her characters. These are the guidelines she gave me.
-Cliche archer gear
-Cliche mage staff
-Two knives
-Elf
-African
-Thin and tall
-Lithe-looking

...and here she is.
I might do a better sketch of her in the future

Eva redesign

I'm currently working on redesigning my characters, since I haven't touched them since my animu days (about 8 years ago). I decided to start with Eva, since she's always been one of my favorites.
This is where I'm at, but then, I realized that her fighting style is very mobile and jumpy (Tai Chi sword fighting style; think Xianghua from Soul Calibur), so a heavier armor probably wouldn't work very well. I need to switch her to a lighter set, though, historically, Generals always wore the most ornate and impressive-looking armors in their armies. This is where my brainstorming session stopped, so if you think of something, lemme know.
For reference, this is what she looked like, when I first conceived her, 8 years ago.

Victorian Plague Doctor

Had this idea the other day at school, so I finished it tonight.
I was actually surprised at not seeing this concept already. I did run a search for Victorian Plague Doctors, but all I got was Steampunk, which is not at all what I was looking for. Steampunk ≠ Victorian era.I purposely stretched him out a bit to give him a more creepy feel.
About 2 hours. PSCS5

Eva sketch 2

I think my problem with drawing females in pratical-and-realistic looking armor is that they come out looking fat or male.

Superhero costumes ideas

As I said in my previous post, I drew my wife's character, Laele, in her superhero persona. Kathy pointed out that she looks just like a regular Ragnarok Alchemist wearing a mask, and it's true: the idea spawned from the time my wife decided to put a simple mask on her character and call it a superhero disguise.
Keeping with the theme, I designed some superhero costumes for her, so that she'd fit in more properly with the superhero idea, and, of course, she picked the one that looks the most like her original Ragnarok costume.
Below are the costumes I drew for her, number 4 being the one she picked.
Which one is your favorite? :)
