Here is my version of Gromph Baenre who is the Archmage of Menzoberranzan and elderboy (first son) of Matron Baenre. He is in the series 'War of the Spider Queen', and is the father of Liriel in the Daughter of the Drow series.

WHA?
No comments?! *stands appaled*
This is utterly brilliant. I love the amber colour of his eyes and the evil expression on his face. Eeeep! I wouldn't like to come across him on a dark night! *lols*
He also looks somewhat seductive in an strange, evil kinda way. *shrugs* Maybe it's just me that thinks that?

Anyway, great work. And in my opinion, it SHOULD get Mod's Choice.

:-) Annette Y. Rust replies: "This one is my fav of all my drawings (well the fall pixie is my fav but that's because the subject is my daughter). I have such fun doing him up all the time. Thanks"

Holy shitake! That is gorgeous! I add my amazement to the person's above me -

WHY HAVE YOU LOT NOT COMENTED ON THIS YET?

*stops yelling at passers-by and turns back to picture*

This is really lovely work. I've tried to draw drow before, but somehow they never come out nearly this good. Something about shading the skin... Anyway, the face is just awesome, all the porportions seem to be right and I love the jewelry and the clothing. And the hair. And the background just really accentuates it all. Okay, now that I've praised everything individualy and by name (aside from your color scheme, which is also perfect by the way) ... yah. I am in awe. This is just too cool.

:-) Annette Y. Rust replies: "Thank you. I had fun doing him up. I like the style totally and will do more like this. I still want to play with this one a bit more in the future but for now this is the latest version. Thanks."

Heya! 2 I like the colours you chose to work with! The yellow breaks up with the browns in a lovely way. And I must say, it's fun to see somebody elses version of gromph since this far I'd only seen my own. *grin*

Wow that is so cool how you brought him to life. I do wish it was Drizzt though.
