. Elise .

Closeup here

It's finally finished! This one took me a while. It is inspired by the Beethoven's classical music, particularly Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata, and started as me trying to draw a human version of my "Moonlight Sonata" necklace design (see WIP gallery) . It is also inspired by the fabulous piano playing of Regina Spektor, particularly in the song "Apres Moi".

Oh, and she's also named after the song "A Letter To Elise" by The Cure, just because I The Cure & that song is amazing.

The artwork was inspired by many, including Nati & Kmye-Chan on dA, the colouring was inspired by Staje on dA. I was trying a new style of colouring as most of my stuff has been warm tones, pink and rainbow
