SciFi and Fantasy Art: Sofyuka

Sofyuka is an elf... But she belongs to a special order of elven clerics who kill. I was telling someone about the concept idea and they up and commissioned a picture of one and so Sofyuka was born. Elves are immortal... and immortality must periodically present issues that are unique to anything immortal. Say you are 3000 years old and you are terminally sick of life... Or as with mortals, say an elf was in a terrible accident and disfigured beyond their ability to tolerate such. In comes the order that Sofyuka is part of. They ritualisticly end the lives of immortals such as elves who want to die for whatever reason. Priestesses of reprieve, if you will. But viewed as a neccessary evil, not really welcomed by the clergy of more cheery Orders. The long needle like object in her left hand is the tool of her trade. Part of their ritual of euthenasia is a dance... hence the costume. Creepy...yes?

27 May 2004	Megan Skye Hale	Loading... very nice piece. Intersting concept too. My favourite part about it is her expression, and something about the weight of her hair, it is very heavy and full. Her expression is somewhat pensive, very fitting and it draws they eye.
9 Aug 2004	Anonymous	Loading... I love the costume on this one. You are very gifted.
29 Dec 2004	Sandra Fitzsimmons	Loading... Where can I get her outfit and how much? She looks fabulous and I love the story. I want her claws.
23 Jul 2005	Arthur L. Williamson	Loading... Gorgeous picture Hope! I like the explanation behind it as much as the picture itself. Beautiful colors and awesome pose!
13 Sep 2005	Aurelia Darkside	Loading... I love this picture and the concept behind it. I also like that one eye is a different color, nice detail there. I love your gallery as well.
12 Nov 2005	Kitty	Loading... Interesting how she covers her knees and lower arms, but practically nothing else, lol. I love the color scheme and the pattern on her skirt.
18 Dec 2005	Morgan	Loading... I really like it. A lot of your work has a slight Burton-esque feel to it, which is definitely good, because I love Tim Burton.
11 Sep 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Hmm...elves who kill...I must say that has a weird, spooky, yet ingenious ring to it. Great job on the outfit, the hair, and the hands. Those are three things that I wish I could draw like you. You are so talented!
5 Oct 2006	Anonymous	Loading... She's beautiful, and her hair is sexy.
