Hey guys.
I\'m currently painting Werner Klockes masterpeice Alastriel (as you might have seen in my other post). I painted the skin as a grey-elf like this:
Base coat skin (after lining) with a 50/50 mix of basalt gray and deck tan
Highlight with a 50/50 mix of ivory and bassalt gray
highlight with pure deck tan
highlight with pure ivory
highlight with white
shade with pure basalt gray
shade with 50/50 mix of basalt gray and german cam. black brown
shade with pure german cam. black brown
Glaze with first highlight.
Paint eyes and lower lip with german cam. black brown
Highlight lip with burnt cad. umber
highlight lip with flat flesh and up to ivory
paint eyes with flat flesh leaving brown in the recesses
highlight up to white in the middle of the eyes
wash the eyes with burnt cad. umber

I\'m at a lost on how to paint her hair though. I wan\'t a really grudgey dark look though I want everything to be balanced.
Please help!

Looking good so far. White would be cool, but maybe too light as you said and she would look like Storm from XMen :D Purple is a good idea I think, maybe black with subtle purple highlights if you don\'t want her to look to girly?
