I'm having a very hard time accepting the red hair and the yellow/orange power sword.
If I cover up her weapon and face with my thumbs and look at it, it's superb!

The aforementioned areas clash far too much for my liking.

I think the green is a great choice for the figure, I don't think I've ever seen St. Celestine with those colours.

My only gripe though are the red lips, it doesn't suit the model and it makes it look like she is taking a duck face self-pic for Facebook

The armour, face, power sword and all are amazing! very nice
The wings are a bit of a letdown for me, as they're so 'plain' in comparison

I like it a lot. I think the green armor works really well with the red hair. I love the pinkish hue on the roses, I think yours is easily the best sword arm I've ever seen. ( Not sure about the painted nails, but you seem to have gone for a very glamorous Celestine, so why not?)

I think the wings are very understated, but that's a good thing. You've shaded them, and by keeping them simple, you draw the focus down to Celestine, which is a great decision.

I think those lips are my only issue. They are way too big. I'm not even saying it's your fault, I've never looked at the sculpt that closely, and it could easily be just how big they are cast. I would try to slip down the height of the lips. (Not even the shade. Red is perfectly viable, especially given the attention you've paid to her femininity here.) Her lips remind me of Bette Middler in Hocus Pocus as it is.



Please don't think I'm trying to pick on you. I really like this scheme on Celestine. I've already saved a picture of it to reference for whenever I do a Celestine of my own.

Looks good, although the wings need something and friends don't let friends take pics with Duck Face.

Beautifully painted model, love the shading, but I have to echo the above comments that those lips look silly. That may well just be the models fault though.
