Skyline

Birthdaygift for my friend. It's her in a japanese school uniform ^__^ Her hair didn't turn out as magenta as I had wanted, but well... never mind.

The book in her arm is her own. Yes, she is an author. As much as I am a manga-ka XD But I hope that once I'll buy her novel in a bookstore. *yay*
I did this last night while watching Starmania. It's the austrian 'American Idol' and damn damn nuts! O__o

To the pic:
The background is supposed to be the Skyline of Vienna. It took me quite a long time to do it and I used references to the real skyline ^__^ But don't ask me if I recogise any of the buildings, cause I don't.
I didn't intend to make it that grey, but I really like how the background turned out.

Something is still wrong about her top, but today I won't figure it out. I'm too lame XD
