Thanks Kevin. The fur is a combination of various artists' acrylics (most high viscosity bottled paints) combined with diluted liquitex inks to darken the recesses in the sculpted texture. I used a lot of sepia as I recall.

The sash was painted with the scale 75 red set. The watered silk design was painted on with after I was satisfied with the shading. I think it was red combined with a bit of flesh. After this, I washed the whole sash with undiluted red liquitex ink to unify the various colours and shades.

Hope that helps.

Kevin. - here is a WIP shot before the watered silk pattern and ink overlay was added.

Magnificent.
