Description This was comissioned by Cimeara of Gaia for a freind, who I hope likes it. The character originaly was described with quite a lot of gear, but anyone who's ever tried to draw chainmail I think will sympathize with me NOT drawing on BLACK chainmail on a BLACK Character (Drow) who was wearing a BLACK cape and BLACK Gloves. Especially not while working with pencil. *dies* Anyhow. I think it came out darn well anyhow...

You're so talented... This is awesome. I just love that drawing.
His clothing looks nice, and I couldn't draw a hand that well for my life!
And then he got some sort of 'hot' smirk... xD

There's an entire drow club. Probably more than one but I only belong to one so far.

*grins* I wish the hand had come out right, but the person who it was for seemed to very much like it. So I guess it all works out in the end.

^_^ *sweet* XD Well the other option was to draw him wearing his gloves, which allow him to control shadows. Somehow the three inch talons seemed more...alarming.

TinyMeiny [2004-12-12 17:59:16 +0000 UTC]

very cool style, the term Drow sounds familure, have you ever read the series of The Legend of Drizzt, very good book its about Drow Elves...maby you got it from there?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

xaotl In reply to TinyMeiny [2004-12-13 13:50:23 +0000 UTC]

Yup, Drow are an increasingly popular species in the D and D and D20 system. I liked the CONCEPT of Drizzt far better than I liked the books however. I find it hard to beleive psychologicly that he could be so...angsty. Xp. He'd have been a lot more satisfying if he was a good guy with a touch of ruthless, just from the way he grew up.

TinyMeiny In reply to xaotl [2004-12-14 15:30:49 +0000 UTC]

i've only read book one and half of book two, they are pretty much the only books i can read, i dont like reading that much. i can see what your saying that he should have some ruthlessness, and i kind of agree there'd probably be more fighting in the story but i thought it was a good move not killing off his sister in the second book Exile. that way more conflict in the stroy can happen.

xaotl In reply to TinyMeiny [2004-12-14 15:58:37 +0000 UTC]

The authors who were doing "war of the SpiderQueen" did a really good job, if you like the Drizzt stuff at all, you'll probably *love* those. Although if you like Salvatore stuff, his Spearweilder books were kind of better than the Drizzt books, although Drizzt is obviously more famous. c_C
