Yes, the main effect is achieved with an airbrush. Black base coat and then GW Grey Seer to lighten up the areas of focus, then white to further brighten the focus points before adding the base colours. The purple was a mix of mostly white with a little Phoenician purple and the yellow was mix of mostly white with some yriel yellow because I wanted good yellow saturation as opposed to using a pale yellow which would be more pastel-like. All applied in thin layers building saturation.
Then the yellow on the robes got a few thin coats of pure yriel yellow to build the brightest areas, and several glazes on the paler areas to soften the transition.
The staff got the same airbrush treatment but then had a caledor sky glaze applied to get the blue green transition. I tried to keep the colour palette limited so most of the details are grey, apart from the gems on the hood/collar thing (which was all brushwork and is supposed to imitate the colours in the middle of the lilly flower).
Been watching a YouTube channel called heresy is for heretics where they do loads of bright neon colours which strangely helped with the technique for this.

I'd already built the model with the water element option so this seemed suitably perfect!
Here's my attempt at replicating the perfection of nature. Pretty happy with the result.
