Queen Medb (Maeve) Tattoo design

I was recently commissioned to design a tattoo of the Celtic mythological Queen Maeve (Medb in Irish)
 
The client wanted it done in a comic book - wonder woman kind of style with bright comic colours.
Initial sketch
First pass at inks
The client wanted the head changed as well as having the bust and waist reduced, my love of larger ladies is not shared :)
Smaller boobs again as well as waist, I added the cloak after flipping the image and noticing how unbalanced it was
Clean inks
Comic book style colouring, basically flat colours with some airbrushed shade and highlights
