Description Couldn't really think of any title better for this one BUT to simply call it "Wood Elves", as really they represent their race very well in this piece/their individuals! The elven archer in all his natural tones with his loyal steed and the armored champion deep within the wood prowling with her huntress best friend They just come together really well heheheh They even each have a peach-colored animal companion haha!

I've had these linearts--Kristen's on the left and mine on the right--sitting in my folder to be colored for a long time lol. When Kristen first drew Aralyn and Valastolai together I knew I wanted to color it. [her lineart is addicting to color for how crisp and clear and perdiful it is << >> plus it's Aralyn and I adore him haha] And that I also kinda wanted to draw a companion piece with Poldalle and Beverly to it. And so I tried to mimic the same "slightly from below" angle and getting the animal companion in there "at the elf's side". And whereas Aralyn's got his bow, Poldalle has her two shortswords belted on and I wanted to draw her in her armor since he was drawn in his [though Kristen hadn't fully hashed out the details of his outfit at that time so he's got even more detailed stuff now but shhhhhh lol]. It's taken me forever to get around to actually coloring them both heh! But while my internet was down I finally resized Pol to fit next to him and put them together in an image and started coloring them Just finished them up now and so I'm tossing em up here for your enjoyment before I go to bed hehehe

Enjoy

It's absolutely wonderful hun! I love how they both turned out and how gorgeously they compliment one another! A match made in heaven, huh?

The colors and the way they match up so well is really great! Excellent job sweetie!

I'm so glad the two pics really did work out to complimenting each other when they were put together and I think both of them REALLY came to life better once they were colored and beside the other! Made em look even more like Aralyn and Poldalle and Val n Bev even look better, I think I was worried for awhile there because of lil issues in the different styles and how natural and rangery he looked whereas she was all these odd pastels but once the lighting came in [and I noticed, ironically, that the ref pic of Karl for Aralyn and my ref pic of myself for Pol had the lighting on his right and her left, thus I could put it in the middle and further connect the two pics to each other] it blossomed sooooo nicely! Indeed a match made by Corellon's hand in Arvandor hehhe! Least that'd definitely be Poldalle's story!

Thanks for tossing his pic my way so I could play with it! hehehehe After all, your drawing inspired mine and the idea to put em together! I adore these two!!!!!

you done such a beautiful job of colouring this buddy. the colours are deeper which makes the picture pop more. I can see the two different styles and I realy like how you have combined them in the one picture. very mejestic and lets not forget the woodelves loyal companions

hehehee thanks! it did certainly "pop" after I added the lighting effects in most definitely! I'm glad the two different styles melded together to come out as a whole image and didn't look too different and separate and yes! can't forget the two girls, for Valastolai and Beverly have a lot of personality too!!! hehehehe thanks for faving them hun!!!!!

Lets see what I can do with this one then. ^_^ What are his colors?

Eyes- baby blue with stars in them ; hair- white gold/light blonde ever shiny and glistens and very silky ; skin light-warm, slightly-golden tan ; wings- white and downy. Cloth could be any color though he favors pastels especially in pinks or very light lavendar/purply colors and he does like some soft blues or wine colors.

here's some refs of him for colors and all: [link] ; [link] (good for his wings) ; [link] ; [link] (decent for his eyes) ; [link] ; [link] ; [link] (original pic of him)
