The Harpy Celaeno: Part 3 (What Colour?)

Quickly I laid down some ideas for the colours and patterns. The first is a little bit like the colour palette of Celaeno from the animated film and I didn't like the cold palette. Because her name means "She who is Dark" I thought it would make more sense if her body was a dark maroon. The book also described her with bronze and/or gold plumage, weather in colour or texture (ie, actual metal) and these browns harmonise much better with a warm palette. I then had to think if I was going to add any patterns and markings. I'm still not sure, I may put some markings on her crest and maybe something on the tail, but I don't want to go over the top.
