My first thought when I saw the mini was poison ivy from Batman!
Really nice brush work and blending already on this. The skin tone is perfect, highlights done so well. A definite inspiration to watch my friend.

Really great work Cy. The flower blooms are ultra gorgeous but those eyes on her are great and her skintone too.

Thanks a lot guys 
Skin and the blossom have been the main focus and took most of the painting time. The tendrils I rushed a bit but I'm glad I finished her
Also started another attempt on OSL.
Have quite a few failed attempts in my eternal WIP box xD
Still in the sketching phase but I'm mildly optimistic that it starts to work this time.

Two OSL sources! This is going to be fun!

Started to refine a bit and also tried to introduce a bit of the "base" colors of the different cloth parts. Killed the OSL effect quite a bit -.-
Try to get it back with more orange and darker shadows again. Quite tough to paint without making it look kinda "monochrome-yellow/orange" but representing different colors but also having them effected by the OSL.
But I'm quite happy with the face so far

Reinforced shadows (actually to pure black where no light hits) and kept on refining and introducing more warm tones.
Think the value contrast is on a good track on the warm side so far. Saturation could still be a bit higher here and there. Also need to neutralize the turquoise sleeve. Blue surfaces should turn black under red light so the blue still kills the effect although I desaturated it a lot .
With color values corrected (pulls the neraly black color values into black) it looks quite good already I think.

Absolutely stunning... all the brights in just the right spots. You can actually feel it with the black background. Well done, and a great lesson on how not to over do it.

Agreed, the background really pulls the story together. Lovely.

Nice start on the nmm.
And tremendous light work on the witch.

The worst is finishing a project from which you are massively inspired to starting one that doesn't have the same mental affinity!

Thanks
Yeah kinda true ^^ xD
Will probably need another witcher inspired mini. Still very inspired by the universe and the great artworks around it. Love the dark fantasy setting. Warhammer fantasy was a bit similar in the old world. The card artwork of the stand alone Gwent game are fantastic reference although a lot of effects that look great in illustrations are hard to translate onto a miniature.
Current mini reminds me a bit of the Draugers in the tombs of Skyrim ^^
