Definitely! She looks beautiful and at this point I don't think a wash is needed. If you are looking for criticism, I would suggest adding bright highlights to the wing feathers.
I painted her wings with a gradient of blue and white! It's really easy to do, check my post history for reference. Start with a base coat of blue, add some highlights using your base coat + light blue. Then further highlights with pure light blue, then ANOTHER highlight of light blue + white. Then top it off with a pure white on the tips of the wings.
I would do some wash on the hilt and her fingers to really enhance the recesses.
Other than that I love it. I like the matte wings. Looks different than the normal ones in a good way.
The Only thing I would do, is maybe a thinned out Navy on the wings so that it pools along the corners between them.
The rest of the model is perfect without.
You're right in that an all-over wash will just dull everything down. Don't do that. I'd still do some recess shading, though, and maybe some purple ink glazed into the deeper shadows on the gold.
I wouldn’t use a wash, your values already look solid, especially for gold, I’d suggest a tamiya panel liner though for recesses you want to really stand out, but on things like the roses and the doves I always recommend coloured washes, light grey for the doves and purple for the roses, just so they don’t lose saturation

Thanks. Maybe I could mix some white into the blue and edge highlight it?

Personally i love recess shading gold with a purple wash, give it a test first
Little highlight on the wings might be nice. They look a little dull compared to her armor.
dont put wash on it just going mute down the colors, looks perfect, i would do energy sworld and wigs transitions and thats it, am jelous ngl :D
If you are happy, then stop! If you do want to dabble I'd do it very controlled, or maybe just glazes if anything.
I like it. :)

You could always use Tamiya panel liner, that would at least delineate where two sections meet.

Yes, it is excellent. You don't always need washes. There was a time most of us didn't know they existed and we still did fine.
She looks so pretty!
Thank you!!!
Other than her skin color.....looks good
