Siren Color Sketch

It has been a long time since I used Manga Studios 5 to color a drawing! I wanted to try and determine what the colors would work well with the Siren, and though I'm sure you will think that I was inspired by Mystique [which I only realized part way through the color process], I was originally inspired by the color of one of Ray Harryhausen's Harpies from Jason and the Argonauts.

I used many different layers and opacity settings to try and blend the differing hues of blue together, trying my best to give her a truly organic color scheme, and I feel this is probably my most successful attempt to pull this off. I decided to opt out of shading her [my back's killing me!], though I may go back and shade her in the future. There are other features that I couldn't convey here, like the subtle scales and rainbow iridescence I planned, which I hope will be achievable working in 3D for the final model.
