Description this is one of the most high paid commissions i have done thus far... and it was a bitch to complete, brutal amount of work... simply... a LOT of individual unique characters, a lot more than the one i usually have in an artwork by me...
Commission for

it is a Drow(dark elf) household, the Fil'Hael Al'Uit (The dark and unstoppable blade of the abyss) Family, known as House Fil'Hael.
Populated by a high powered Matron-Mother, Elamshinae (Light of Lolth), mother of, as i'm led to believe, ALL the Draegloth in the family, except the youngest, in which case she is grandmother.
(Draegloth are a half-fiend, the result of an interbreeding of a Dark elf cleric mother and a Galbrazu Demon (oh btw they're roughly 4 times the size of the mother, no comments on the ridiculous nature of intercourse) )
The Draegloth in the family are the massive eldest, Belbol (The gift of Lolth) (middle), roughly 600 years old, grumpy and very powerful; the twins, Arid and N'arid (on either side of the mother and eldest), one is a wizard and the other is a blacksmith; lastly the lithe (yet overly fluffy) youngest, Weiss (verb to skin).
Other characters are the blacksmiths halflings, 2 servants in rags, Bethany and Caleb, and one druid, Evangeline "Evie" Medowstar; the wizardess apprentice of the mage Drae, Sien (the quiet death); a Drow young rogue, Emily, with knowledge of the over-world (and it's cooking (PIZZA)); a half-orc courtesan, Adara, and the half-elf female librarian, Learian; and the aged Bugbear, Kor, 'bodyguard' of the mother.

Loads of fun to do... but am rather glad it's over

Wow, impressive work! Love what you have done with the draegloths, especially. It all came out as a rather warm family picture, something that drow aren't really known for (especially not being kind to non-drow races).

Wow, this is a great picture! I really like how you made all of the characters unique and can tell them apart from each other, especially the Draegloths.

Also: mmmm pizza

it was commission'd that way
i love the commissioner for exactly this reason, a good combination of my own ideas and her specific character descriptions
such as half orc courtesan... omg WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL???
