IT'S FINALLY DONE. PLEASE FULLVIEW D:

So, if anyone was wondering why I never airbrush, this is the reason. I'm kind of awful at it.
ALSO - I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THE PIANO. I can't draw pianos to save my life, but I wanted her to be sitting on one, so I found a 3D vector and lined (badly)over it. So credit to whoever did the vector of the piano in the first place (this is why it looks kind of out of place. It was more of an afterthought).

Anyway.

One of my Eternal Sonata characters, Cadence. She's not actually a violinist, but she fights with a giant violin bow, so close enough Here's a bio for you~
Age 33
Birthday July 1 (same as George Sand, for you history geeks out there )
Cadence is Waltz's older half-sister, and is technically part of the royal family of Forte, but since she's illegitimate (she's the child of her father and a mistress), she has no real claim to the throne. She and Waltz do not get along (she calls him "cupcake" all the time because he looks like one...), and so Cadence eventually leaves Forte to get away from him, which is where she runs into Polka and company. She travels with them out of sheer lack of anything better to do. Cadence is very closed off, and even when she befriends people (which doesn't happen too often), she very rarely shares her feelings with them.
And she gets together with Chopin, because I'm just so cool that I make up characters to hook up with awesome dead composers

So... the colouring was kind of an experiment. Haven't airbrushed anything in a looooong time, although I think I magically improved somewhat. I'm not thrilled with the outcome (especially the hair...), but it was good practice. I'll just have to airbrush more. And I know she looks a bit like a zombie with her skin tone and eyeshadow. She's supposed to

Allowing critiques on here because it's the first real complete piece of art I've submitted in a long time, and it would be really helpful to get some more critical feedback about my art (please don't be mean, though! ).

Also, I know her anatomy is kind of wonky. She's very elongated and skinny on purpose, because that's how people in Eternal Sonata are. Also, the piano looks lame. I got really lazy by the end of this piece.

Here's a detail shot of the eye (pre shading), because it looks really cool and you can barely see it D: -->[link] (done using ~patternfactory's lovely eye tutorial :3)

Enjoy~
