Stray Raven - mesmer

I'm not a fan of the standard go-to of black and white, so when I was making this look I tried to at least do it a bit differently. My mesmer, Vaesis, is a stray; a woman who does love extravagance but has been a lone wolf for so long, picking up jobs here and there, that she can't afford the things she actually craves. Think an actress in a mummer's show, or a small local theatre - from afar it looks shiny, but from up close you see the sequins falling off the costume and the threads coming loose. For this character, I always try to stick to purples, silvers and blacks, because she is dramatic that way. I wanted to create the feeling of a raven, or a crow always flying ahead of the storm. Those birds aren't always fully black though, and that's why I tried to create something dark without using one colour. I've thrown Iron, Abyss, Pitch and Silver in the mix, along with the obvious feather-y choices for her armour. I hope you like it!
