Description I just wanted to play around with black and white. I'm not so keen on the chest, but I like the hair.

I have no idea what kind of an elf she is: Moon, Gold, Dark, Kaldorei etc. etc.

I have a version without the black shading that I'll probably colour.

And I've gotta say, I'm totally sick of this image now.

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't let anyone edit any of my pictures. I'm sure you can find plenty of people in the stock photo section of DA who could help you though. Good luck and thank you!

Sorry for bringing up an old, old drawing. But I felt the need to say how much I love this draw! I've been looking for inspiration for a character and this one... it seems most befitting compared to others. The slouchy pose, the half closed eyes, the cocky smile, and the outright showing of cleavage. Seems just like the character I'm making.

I was using my slump as an excuse to do some doodling... alas, no more for me until I somehow manage to catch up again.

Hehe.

Oh I'd love a link.
But believe me you have a gift.
^^
I'd kill for even half your talent. Well not kill. I'm not a violent person.
>.<
Well I'd like to think that I wouldn't go far enough to kills someone.


I'll tell you something that might look good. If you gave it a low light, with the light shining up on her.
Only problem being that she could end up with a shadowed face.
xD

But it could look good.

I've been itching to do another solid black and white piece, although most of the ideas I've had haven't been suited to it... A nice low-light piece like that could look creepy and awesome though, so I'll definitely try it. *rubs hands together as she knows who she'd love to draw like that*

I'll PM you some links later. :3

NixDX [2006-11-20 07:37:28 +0000 UTC]

Aww, I like this one more then the coloured one.
xD
I wish I had your talent.
They're all so pretty.
The only thing bad about it tjay I can see id that the shadows eat up too much of her chest but it still looks good.

Hehe, this pic always seems to draw mixed opinions.

I'm not talented. Although I can link you to some real gorgeous artwork if you like.

The shadows are so big because she's got a pretty... vast chest. XD If they were smaller, there'd be less to be in shadow. It's always the problem with solid blacks and whites.

This is so sexy. Nice job on the posture, and the expression on her face. The best parts are her eyes, her lips, and hair, but her posture is simply amazing. Keep going with that.

Nothing wrong with the chest! I love your use of black and white, it's so striking! And the hair is beyond amazing...I can't discribe how much I like it, it's beautiful!

Caria In reply to calizar [2005-09-27 22:39:58 +0000 UTC]

I used a photocopier (for my original pencil lineart... I liked it too much), then a biro, then the photocopier again because I liked the basic lineart and hair and I was scared I'd screw it up... then I did the block shading with a biro and a permanent marker. I was at work at the time...

Thankyou for the lovely compliment.

hey. Excellent work. Nothing wrong with the chest. Although her lips...I dunno...there is nothing wrong, but they just don't look right. anyway ignore that. Apart from that. Nice draw

I feel kinda guilty for staring at elf girls' boobs. Again, shading on this is awesome, especially the hair. you rule!

Caria In reply to judetheobscure [2005-09-27 22:44:40 +0000 UTC]

You shouldn't. I drew her for the express purpose of being stared at, I guess. I mean, look at that cleavage! (Oh wait, you were. ) I really wanted to aim for the 'voyeur' look, so I'm glad I seem to have succeeded.

You always leave me such lovely comments.

judetheobscure In reply to Caria [2005-09-28 13:03:58 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah you really did, I guess I just feel odd when it's a drawing and not an actual person (although said drawing isn't going to catch me looking.. it does have its advantages..).

As long as you keep drawing them, I'll keep making them!

this looks quite nice to me, i really like the hair, and i think the chest looks fine, only crit would have to be her face looks a little lopsided

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Caria In reply to Cobaltz [2005-09-27 22:43:07 +0000 UTC]

*nods* That it does. I think it's in part due to the nose and the fact that one eye is nearly totally obscured by hair. The nose shading... I think I was leaning a little to one side when I did it, plus the fact that some of the diagonal shading on the right doesn't quite sit where it should... Gives her face the appearance of leaning too much in one direction.

Thankyou for the encouraging comment.
