Well, this was more to do with playing with a variety of features. For the first time I figured out how to use edge loop, did some mmarker work and generally had some fun. Thanks to all you guys - without this site I’d be completely lost.
The base model of this was imported from poser (cheating I know but it gave me something to dress-up) everything else was just bits and bobs I made up and threw in.
Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction

Don’t apologize about your workflow on this. It’s an awesome piece. Besides, I don’t think Poser can supply any cool costumes like this, or nice color combinations like you have here. Poser is just a tool like anything else.
the only thing i dont like is the face, dosent fit the rost for me 
nice fairy, good color scheme and the armor bits look to be nicely detailed. Im not to crazy about the hair it looks smudged to me. did you make the armor pieces entirely in zbrush or did you import them from a different program.
Thanks for the comments.
Maybe the face doesnt work as in not entirely convinced by it myself, and the hair - well it was another experiment which I think would suit a different style fo image better.
The armor pieces were made by converting alphas to 3d mesh. The alphas i designed in mm flash.
