Yup Grinning rudolph was sooooo 2012; had just been waiting for 2013 grin!

Incidentally, not to sound too needy, but do you feel she is improved?

just realised what you changed...
the red is a very nice spotcolor...the rest is a bit hard for me to tell as I cant really say from the different contrast settings of both pic sessions... but I definitely like the last set... whether it is due the contrast or the new washes (?) it is getting where she needs to be... with the addition of the servo skull you have come finally to the finishing point...

The grin's not so evident on this one.....

And, oops, singing Picard made me forget the priestess...

Much improved in nearly all aspects. The one thing I'm not sure about is the fleurs again. Not sure on the red, can't put my finger on why, which is annoying as it was the fleurs I mentioned before.
Maybe it's that they're too red?
That's not really getting across what I mean..... They seem to contrast too strongly now.....maybe giving them some heavy pink highlights might bring them more in line with the rest.
Not sure I'm helping much here...

and I agree with monkey...a pinker hue will be the best for the priestess

Sheer genius, innit?!

So working on servo skulls. Didn't like the one I had planned for the Priestess, so the Priest got it instead:


And here's my new idea for the Priestess (just floating in front of her)

Servo-skully enough as a base model?

Will pink up her fleurs a bit, too

that is a pig iron head innit?...interesting idea... remains to be seen if it will work...once it is painted... if this works... it will be genius...

the priests staff with skull and book and daggers is also good looking...

Think that's looking suitably servo-skullish.

Are you going for the just hanging wires look, or adding implements of some kind?

Hmm, all my other comments vanished?! in brief, I'm not 100 % on the gs cable that's holding up the priestess' servo skull. Also, comments v useful, and yes, I am a crazed tech priest.

I think maybe the Servo-skull cable is a bit thick - I used paperclips to make my servo-flock, or you could maybe try electrical copper wire?
Also, I'd have the priestess's skull looking the same way as she is - it'll blend in more with the direction of the model
I must congratulate you on the white areas on the models, especially the shading, which looks excellent!

Are we sure she's a *real* priestess? That's an awfully long, hard shaft she's holding onto there. Just sayin'...
