Description
This is the main character of my brother's book, "Dynasty of Storms". His name is Elias Stromgard, an unaturally large and strong Elf who was exiled from his home to live with the barbaric men of the north. Learn more about Elias and his tale, on the author's website:brandoncornwell.com/
I've been wanting to draw this guy for a while, now. It's nice to finally have the time! I have some scenes in mind for this fellow, so you will be seeing him again!
***EDIT***
I changed his tunic to white, in hopes of slowing down the comments that seem to compare this big dude to Link.

Intriguing! I don't think I've ever seen an elf that's anything but slender. I like how loose shirt evokes that graceful elven vibe, while his thick pants and boots reflect that barbaric lifestyle he adopted.
Also, cool narrative that your brother's building there! Awesome to see that he's laid out so much of the world and story.

Yeah, he's specifically supposed to be huge, which is weird even in the world he is in. I am working on more pieces for this story, so you should be seeing more of him!

Unless it's a magic sword, he's going to need to grow more arm-muscle to swing that badboy!
He looks really cool, though.

His build is based off of Hafthor Bjornsson, so he's probably strong enough. Plus, that fuller down the blade is made to add balance and lighten it's overall weight. It's big, yeah, but this dude is 7 ft tall, so he's pretty damn strong.

Huh. I had not yet heard of Mr. Bjornsson of Iceland.
I had also not noticed the fuller.

He's a big lad, for sure! And no worries! It is a bit larger than any historical examples, but that's the fun part of fantasy, I suppose. XD

Yeah. Fantasy has magic weapons, too.

I dig the edited colors. It's a ton closer (read: exactly) how I pictured him in my mind as I wrote him, when it comes to how he dressed.
As I mentioned to you, I like his irritated, angsty, Resting B**** Face look. It suits him well.

White shows off the blood of your enemies better anyway, so there's that.

Love his design, look forward to more artwork of him and the world he's from!

Haha I am afraid I was one of the first who saw the resemblance.
Much less now yes, sorry if you felt offended by me or one of my fellow commenters of link. I simply could not help seeing it, especially now that a new game with him is coming out on march 3.

It's ok, you can't help but see what you see! It just wasn't the intention. XD
