I just have one "objection", and that´s the stance.

The sword held like that is a retreat or sidestep then counterattack either swing/turn or turn/swing, or if you´re really fancy, turn and thrust, yet her balance says she´s rearing backwards and trying to block something from high. Which at the moment would likely get her knocked out by either or both of her weapons.
The swordhold is essentially a nonblocking defensive one that is intentionally weak to draw an opponent forward into a slow overextended position to allow a slow but nasty counterattack.
( oh and btw, i really hope she´s lefthanded or doublehanded )

Second, a dagger is nearly always held with the blade going out the direction of the thumb, having it out the way of the pinkie means you remove the extra reach from it as well as make it harder to control, especially if used to parry with, not to mention make it difficult to stab with.
Oh and the dagger also obscures her vision, even if not hugely so.

Third, you can get away with both, but together they´re basically an invitation for me to dash in and stomp her toes or knees, or legsweep her, because her sword takes far too long to swing to hit me with(and her own head is in the way of thrusting with it), while her dagger can´t reach me at all as long as i kick at kneeheight or lower while her balance is, well, unbalanced.


Anyway, i don´t like being critical here(hope you excuse me), because the pic still LOOKS pretty darn good.

Granted, the dagger is just there for show. In the fic, she doesn't dual wield.

Pose is based on this:

doesn't suddenly turn the model into an escher painting

However, that's ALL it can do. Doesn't have clothes or hair. Can't add textures or color. Can't animate. Just one light. Can import some objects from other 3d programs, but only up to 5mb worth (which is just worth a single simple prop). Can't make anything new in it other than a cube or a new body. The face above had to be done in another program.

Basically, it's just for making a blank body. But it does blank bodies VERY well.

More of a halfling bodytype?
