Bourbon Street Sophie by flynn

Description	:	This photo is quite small...click on it for a bigger view. All colors listed here are Reaper Master Series paints. The skintones (and wings) were as follows: 50/50 mix of Dark Skin and Rosy Shadow -> Rosy Shadow -> Rosy Skin -> Rosy Highlight -> Fair Skin -> Fair Highlight The hair was this: Golden Blonde base -> Oiled Leather wash -> Golden Blonde -> Linen White -> Pure White The dress was this: Deep Amethyst (with a little bit of black) -> Ritterlich Blue -> Sapphire Blue (with a touch of Ritterlich) -> Deep Ocean -> Marine Teal -> Jade Green -> Spring Green -> Lemon Yellow It was then glazed with Marine Teal and Jade Green. The shadows were cleaned up a bit with Deep Amethyst. The stockings went through multiple iterations, but I think in the end it was mostly linen white, pure white, and glazes of a mixture of pale indigo and rosy flesh.

I love this piece, the greens are superb, and I also love the skintones and sheer effect on those stockings. The base is cool too, and the wings are very well done, a subtle and complimentary choice of colours chosen for these. loads of people usually go OTT on wings.

The green dress is just jaw-dropping on this. I also really like the warm skin and the way you've done the wings. The text on the signpost looks a little too hand-drawn.
