    When your using place holders, you don't put in the significant effort for blend colors and add shadowing to the textures. When your using placeholder, you choose colors that clash in very obvious ways so you can definitively see the different parts of the Model. If you look at previous SE Models, they do not even do that step. They built the entire piece in the flat grey and then apply the colors they want.

    It is far more likely that this is in fact the final color scheme of Shiva and they intend to use visual effects to surround her in an icy mist.

    Shadows would be just part of the model- nothing extra, and they, as I would understand it, use the simple coloring to differentiate pieces, else it would be one big gray blob and its not so clear.
