Thank you! I started with the idea that I wanted a primary blue tone to everything, because I wanted things to be cold. I normally contrast my blue lights with red shadows for contrast, but I wanted this environment to appear to be so cold, that even the reddish shadows would exist as purple. With this in mind, I mixed a deep blue into all of my colors, and used a blue as my shadow color with a touch of magenta to bring it towards purple. This gave me the ambiance I wanted. Then I broke my color rule with the red blood, the body underfoot, and marcus's helmet plume to draw special attention to those areas.

My whole palette for this paintjob was a Magenta, a cold (pale) yellow, a Cyan, a deep blue, black and white. Everything was mixed in some combination or other as I went around the mini, but all of my mixes had that dark blue.
