Sure, horses are great - but slow. Dragons are fast, but they require a special care; besides all those explanations with the masters of the eaten stable grooms are just boring. So when he needs speed and mobility, Zmeifen the half-drow wizard is traveling like this. His favorite element ti work with is Fire, but Air spells are also very useful sometimes.

Yes, a bit air magic can come handy...and it saves money, since you don't have to feed it.
I like Zmeifen's robe, gotta find out where his tailor lives.

Me likes glitterey things *stares at twinkly stuff*

2 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "  Thank you so much!2 Zmei's tailor lives in his castle and is always busy with the making of a new robes2
 Zmeifen *smiles*: Come and stay, we'll make the tailor to work for you too12"

There is something so provocative about a picture set out in the moonlight. More so when it features a Drow! As is so ofern the case with your work, the first thing that hits me is the way your subjects are dressed. His robe looks fantastic! Black, red and gold are a classic combination, and you'v used them to perfection. Makes his attire look expensive without looking gordy or tacky. I love the way the clouds are illuminating slightly from the moon, but most of all i love those little sparks of magic you'v surounded him with. They really drives home the fact his using magic in a very subtle but potent way, as a good mage should. Very clever the way you have left them trailing into the distance behind to show where he's came from and enforce the idea that he's on the move. That might sound a bit technical to some people, but every detail helps, and it works very well in bring that fabulous looking castle into the picture too.

2 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Thank you so much, Jay! Ah yes, the outfit. This guy's clothing is special even for me: he always must look spiffy, yet his outfit doesn't have much of the variety in fashion or color. So I find it interesting and even a bit challenging to design the new details for his robes and boots for every new picture of him2 Also, I am glad that you like the sparkling "magic flight" effect... Thank you for the great comment!2 "

Another great picture. I love the moon light and the stars. Nice colours.

11 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Thank you so much, Anne! Glad that you like the colors, I'd say they a way too dark and contrasted compare to your own use of colors... 2"

Hm, he's a dark wizard, he's handsome, and he's even charming. Anya, you'll have to watch this one...*smile*

1 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Well, yes, he's all that... but also he has a really bad temper, a tendency to take what he wants by force, and to solve his love problems by killing the "other side involved". But if you don't mind those small inconveniences - go right ahead... 2"

2 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Thank you so much, Yana! Glad that you like the color scheme here, I like it too2Heh, awfully sorry for the awfully late reply. Krrrr2"
