Pyromancer of the Royal Army

As you can see in the process shots, i originally started out with an idea of a mage casually swatting away a fiery projectile with a forcefield.
I abandoned this idea and went with a pyromancer instead. I envisioned her as working within the royal army, as a callous and fierce officer.
While painting I was imagining her being in the middle of silencing the whispers of a rebellion in a remote mountain village, razing it all to the ground in a sea of fire.
