Icy Freezing Cold Nippy Brrrrrrrr!

[Sorry Wrong Number]

So I\'m doing this Ice babe minature -blue/white skin and hair etc but I\'m stuck for ideas on what colour to do her clothing? Dont know wether to contrast against the cold icy blue/white skin tones or keep the whole minature cold...

Hmmmm? Thoughts? Got any pics of simular concepts etc that might be a help?

edit: Just thought I\'d add a bit more:

The miniature is a games workshop darkelf witch elf (one in the middle)

Only I\'m doing her as an elemental (ice) blooded type of lady/ice genasi for D&D. I\'ve also added a katana.

The thing thats bugging me is what to do with the fishnets and armour/shoulder plates? As she has nearly white skin and pale ice blue hair I want something that will either flow nicely or contrast well?

Weirdly -I shall be giving her a tropical/jungle base as the miniature is a roleplaying character for a friend and the campaign is set in a lost world type setting.

erm...?

do what I do...

dress as the mini is supposed to look like and then take a picture of it, dont forget to put your self in the freezer for an hour or so to get the right effect.

the kidding aside - what mini is it? is it like a bathing suite clothing or toppless or all dressed up in winter clothes? what ever color u use I guess getting freezing effect could be done in extensive use of whites on highlightning. think frosting on a cake perhaps...

Pssst It\'s a GW witch elf with a weapon (Katana) conversion... So kinda skimpy.

I\'d suggest looking at pictures of arctic animals, and finding out what colour
their hides might be, then using those colours.

I\'ve seen the cold/blue done with white clothes, tan/bone and a couple of times
with browns to be leather.

I would think darker blues or perhaps greens, just stay away from hot colours like red orange and yellow.

I think if you want to go outside the obvious hues - blue, blue-greens and violets - then keep the saturation down (duller colours) and maybe also aim for higher value (lighter colours).

Although my first thought would be to avoid yellow-orange, orange and orange-red myself you could use them if you do it carefully.
