Thanks again for your post yesterday.
As you can tell, I am finding it very challenging to progress the look of my piece - hopefully this will make it all the more rewarding to get it right.
I'd like achieve the sense of contrast you've demonstrated in both your painted examples and plan to use a less distracting texture for the skin, experiment with bumps and SSS but first I'm stripping everything back to the colour scheme - as I really want to get this looking good.
Below are some (very rough) painted examples, which I wondered whether you could give me your opinion on.
The one I like is the mixture of aquamarine blue with pink. But I'm concerned that this goes against what you've advised in terms of warm over cool (though I have desaturated the background in the example below, in an attempt to pick out the blue).
I like that it still has a kind of putrid retro quality that I could soften with bumps and lighting (as in my new reference).As you can see I have been quite keen to use coloured skin but perhaps this is time to let it go (as per your blue mood example).
Let me know what you think.
I really appreciate your taking the time to advise on this, as I realise it is taking me some to time to get going.
Thanks
Yoli
