Art Book Cover - Early Doodles

Remember that poll I did on deviantArt a while back asking which character people would like to see me draw for a specific project? Okay... maybe you don't remember... but I did make one. Said project was actually the cover of my next art book. Three out of the four characters were neck and neck with votes so I went with Ran-Qui since she was the only one on the list that I actually consider to be a "fursona".
I've started picking colors and fonts for this year's art book as well as doing a few "Brainstorm" doodles for poses. I do want an action pose, but as she is a fan character, I'm leaving out all Star Wars references... in particular her lightsabers. I don't want George Lucas to show up at my doorstep with a platoon of Clone Troopers and go all Order 66 on my ass. :p

In all actuality, I'm not 100% happy with any of the poses. I'm planning on using a combination of poses in the final version. The main color of the book cover will be an emerald green so it will look good on the shelf next to last year's blue-covered book. I selected my character for this year carefully... because red-heads tend to look very nice in green!
