This is (technically WAS, she's pretty dead) Kusatsu's mother, Aibreann Arduenna. There's a good resemblance dont you think? Though hopefully not too much so.

Many thanks to  hathor-the-queen and  kaiichi-sensei for anatomy advice, and  faint for redlining help with that leg.

I really love how she turned out here and I'm proud of the shading and lighting and her design in general. The background is a bit shite though but thats cause I lack any grasp of the concept of perspective and scale, lol.
