So, I still suck at perspective and foreshortening, but I think this is better than my previous attempts. Once day, I shall master both perspective and foreshortening. Mmmmyes I will.
Anyway, I thought Absinthe (sometimes called "Absy" by her peers) needed a long overdue makeover since she's gone from one of her adopted father's two generals to a rockstar. So, I gave her a bustier (as opposed to the flimsy little bra she once wore), gave her one glove, added some spiffy mesh, and made her hair much longer (it was just past her shoulders before and she had bangs). I also attempted to make her a bit prettier than before as well.
Despite her implied young age (late teens/early 20's maybe? At least over 18 years), "Absy" here is actually a 3,000-something years old "Nephilim" (the unholy offspring of an angel and a human women. C'mon! you didn't think the Grigori were the only Fallen Ones getting busy did you?) who along with her brother Beltane was adopted by the Goetian demon Malphas (The 39th Goetia and the Lord of Thought) after the death of their human mother and the abandonment of their Fallen Angel Father (Gadriel). Seeing potential necromantic abilities in his adopted daughter, Malphas later sent Absinthe (who was 17 at the time) to his Goetian brother Bifrons (The 46th Goetia and the Lord of Decay; usually called "Uncle Biff" by 95% of Hell's population) to train with him alongside his own adopted daughter Astarte (AKA The Dead Queen; "DQ").
Absinthe would later travel to New Orleans in the 19th Century and study voodoo, thus establishing herself as one of the Universe's few practicing Female Bokors. Later, Absinthe would be separated (by means beyond anyone's control) from her Hell Family and (as a means to support herself) would become the lead guitarist for Jinx's band Symphony of the Witch, where she would remain for the next 25 years until she was finally reunited with her family in time for Armageddon, and later...Terminus.

Extra Information:
† Absinthe's original name (give to her by Malphas) was "Absinthites," but she had it legally changed to "Absinthe" after spending a few decades in New Orleans.
† Aside from immortality and high-invulnerability (as most of her race have) Absinthe is a powerful Necromancer/Bokor. Like DQ, she can resurrect and control the dead, but instead specializes in summoning "ghosts" (ectoplasmic entities) not unlike those Morpheus houses in his body by playing different notes on her guitar "fetish/weapon" known as "Wormwood." Unlike Morpheus, Absinthe is fully conscious/lucid and has complete control over the ghosts which she summons.
† Absinthe has had Wormwood since she was a tiny little thing. Wormwood had gone through several upgrades over the centuries before taking on its current Gibson Les Paul Custom form. Wormwood houses most of Absinthe's "Ghosts" (when they're not in use) and is also highly durable; it can be smashed over the heads of the toughest enemies without leaving so much as a dent upon its polish surface.
† Absy's hair is actually acid green by default, but she dyes it black to keep it from blinding people.

Ohhhh...I see. Well, just look at guitars for some ideas. Absy here wields a Gibson Les Paul custom.

I did... but I'm just not good. Wendy's looks broken. The others were okay, but neck and strings. Nice choice for her's!

Oh I see. The trick with the neck if rough out your guitar using basic shapes (Absy's Wormwood is actually two circles for the body, a long rectangle for the neck and a square for the headstock). And using a ruler helps, but makes your lines really light when drawing the basics for your guitar. I basically taught myself by looking at guitar mags. >.>;
