After the basecoat, I tried something new and mixed the SW Amethyst with the Codex Grey and painted that as a shadow “de-highlight” into the recesses. Worked out really well! Then Amethyst+water directly as a line in the recesses.
While I painted the jumpsuit, I was trying to darken it, but still have that bright orange “pop” from the inspiration image. An important thing here was to paint the straps in a different colour, and have them be a noticeably different colour, but not have them stand-out from the rest. I picked the brown to try to fill this role.
Lastly, since she’s probably been mucking around in that Arcanist base mud for a while, her cloak got muddied up along the edges.
After I’d done all of this, I stupidly went searching for more images of her. Someone had converted her hair to be less terrible looking. I wish I’d had that fore-thought. >.<
