I can tell you how I got the color scheme so hot, at least. Yellow against orange with a tiny bit of something dark to work against is pretty hot. How I got it sexy-hot, I dunno - lucky positioning in the 'sexily alien' edge of the Uncanny Valley, a big grin, and a lot of motion probably accounts for it.
I wasn't sure what that was below her at first, but it's a bee hive, isn't it? That…makes sense. My brain fails me sometimes. :)
This is great, though. I'm counting, what, seven distinct shades, not counting whatever is in the border? I thought five at first, but I noticed the wisps have their own and some bits are white.
I like how the same shades take on completely different roles in different contexts and really didn't occur to me to be the same until I looked closer. :)
Well, initial impression was some sort of spiral adobe tower. I think I just took the bees for granted (because I'm used to bug creatures in your art?) and so the hive idea didn't click. :D
wow...I was thinking just the other day that the sun can be represented in this way too, i mean usually we have a male manifestation for the sun, he casting his approving rays upon his subjects... but this element..yep, works for me

'Lots of practice' sums it up, I guess.

Maybe I need to push a little more detail onto the beehive. *grin*

Thanks for helping to make my evening livable.
