It. Is. FINISHED!!! *promptly passes out*
Seriously, this took way too long. Several weeks. This is my contest entry for mewmewlover55's music contest. The challenge is to draw yourself in anime style or draw an anime character with some sort of music theme.
The original idea was to draw myself (yes, that's supposed to be me up there) in anime style playing the piano with a close up of my face in a peaceful smile. The background was going to have flashes of peaceful scenery, which is what I think about when I play. Well....I can't draw a piano to save my life and I grew frustrated at my horrible attempts at doing so. So I started working on the background, which grew into what it is now.
The four scenes match four songs that I consider peaceful:
L. Beethoven, Sonata No. 14, C# Minor, "Moonlight Sonata"
F. Chopin, Prelude No. 15, Db Major, "Raindrop"
L. Beethoven, Sonata No. 15 Op. 28, "Pastoral"
J. Strauss, An der schönen blauen Donau op. 314, "The Blue Danube"
Anyway, I know the face is a little messed up, but at this point I don't care. Gah...I'm just glad I got this thing done in time! Any comments are welcomed, compliments and criticism alike.
