Looking for some inspiration, so could you wonderful people #helpMeFind some attractive woad designs for a #Boudicca #miniature that I'm #painting?

For clarity, I'm definitely aiming at the Hollywood "looks cool" not the "historically accurate" end of the spectrum, but it should definitely scream "I'm Boudicca" - or at the very least be shouting "I'm a Celt", not Viking orientated.

Boosts welcome

Boudicca (died 61 CE) was the Celtic Queen of the Iceni tribe who led a revolt against Roman occupation of what is now East Anglia, England. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/97/boudicca-queen-of-the-iceni-scourge-of-rome/ #History #Boudicca #Britain #Celt

Warrior Queen is a six-part 1978 British TV series dealing with Queen Boudicca’s revolt against the Romans in AD 61. An ambitious idea and not without interest but sadly somewhat let down by a minuscule budget.

Lacking in spectacle but well-acted and nicely grungy and quite entertaining.

"Boudica was queen of the Iceni tribe in England and led a rebellion against Roman occupation around 60 A.D [...] she led a revolt against the Romans that resulted in the destruction of at least two Roman settlements, including Londinium (modern London) and almost drove Rome's imperial occupation forces off the island."

- One of my better results from Midjourney, using the prompt -

Boudicca in Colchester in the style of J. M. W. Turner, beautiful, 8K, octane rendering, real photos, complex details, volumetric lighting, ultra wide angle of view, panoramic shooting, 8k HD

I installed the Stable Diffusion A.I. plugin into Blender 3.3 last night, I think I need to do a few days with it to get a good result.
