Cmon contest 2 - Night with Her Cloak of Stars

I thought a long time about a theme that would suit this mini. Finally I decided to do her up as the personification of Night standing on a high rock wearing her cloak of stars and the moon as a sort of halo behind her to symbolically represent her power. The problem with this theme was that the original mini had a very very short cloak. I used epoxy to sculpt the base and extend the cloak and make the cresent moon. When sculpting the figure I sort of imagined the cloak flowing out from behind her to fill up and become the night sky. The blue curly stuff on the side are stylised clouds. I painted the blade of the weapon to resemble something that was carved from green granite or malachite ... something grainy that resembles rough stone. The crescent moon itself looks firey in RL... but this is less obvious in the pic.... comments are appreciated even tho this is a contest.

FANTASTIC! I love her cape! The whole idea is wonderful. If the blending between the moon and the head of her weapon was a little more smoot it would have gotten a 10 from me. Great Job! :)
