Started work on this lovely little piece. Really want the skin tones to be as smooth as I can get them. It was so much fun just painting skin and eyes.

Another extra long session of refining.

I really just wanted to see how far I can take the smoothness and perfection of hue shifts between light and shadow, with the inclusion of a pink blush near the eyes.

Not quite there yet, but I'm happy for now!

New update!

This time I worked on the ears, the inside of one of the pauldrons, plus its rim, and, most noticably, the chest.

Based on the sculpt and armor shape, I felt like shading it very 'pushed up'.

First refinement session was all about the face, the make-up and a little bit on the hair.

Finding the right skin tones and depths of shading for the facial features probably took the most time and effort due to their effect on the expression.
