Description Critique discouraged doesn't mean I don't want comments. It just means I know there's a LOT wrong with this, but I'm not interested in hearing about it.

Phillian is an older character of mine. I even roleplayed with her some back in the day. She was the star of a story I had been writing, but I never finished it. I do toy with the idea of going back and rewriting it, though.

Phillian is an elf, though what KIND, I don't yet know. She's a studying priestess. She used to have a staff that spoke to her mentally, but I decided that idea has since become seriously cliche and I got rid of it.

I was hesitant about adding the photo background, but I decided to go with it instead of just plain white.

If you wanna see the sketch, check here: [link]

Note: The photo in the background is mine. I took it at a local graveyard last autumn.

I feel the photo does works prety well with the whole setting :B

she looks lovely, the subtle skin markings give a nice otherworldy feel to 'er, and as usual, the hair takes the spotlight, so beautiful and wavy, not only that, but the way you handled the coloring, lighting and shading does highlights the 'silver hair' theme and makes justice to it wonderfully

Neat work- the colors and shading are nice, and work with the photo. Think about the shadows in the photo, and compare them to the depth of the shadows on the picture, and they work together.

The photo is literally only there so there's no white space. It was wholly and afterthought and not considered in any of the drawing process.

That may be true, but it's obvious that at some level (perhaps even unconsciously) you picked a photo that suited the image.

I love the design of the earring!

As to the staff... I dunno, ever since Brave Fencer Musashi I've had a soft spot for telepathic weapons. Seems neat to me...
