This is an elven warrior, dressing to go to battle for the first time. He's saying goodbye to his companion, a rare white dragon. Drawn using graphite on sketch paper.

You have captured a wonderful sense of emotion here, especially on the face of the figure. The lighting really adds to the drama of the picture.

What first struck me when the pic was loading was how realistic the wall is and the lighting. This is great!

:-) Cheryl L Berube replies: "Thanks! I was hoping a nice background would make up for wonky anatomy! 1 REally, thank you for your kind comment!"

Love this pic, especially the shading. Only crit I've got is just that the face seems a bit off on his left side. Fantastic perspective and expression, and small or no that's a well-drawn hand. 1

I love this picture! I find myself sad for him, as if I know him. It makes me wish he didn't have to go fight. That's the sign of looking at the art of a true artist!

:-) Cheryl L Berube replies: "Thanks! I think he would agree with your feelings, too. But duty is duty. I appreciate you visiting my gallery!"

This is an awsome pic! one question. Why doesn't he have armour on his arms?

1 Cheryl L Berube replies: "Well, uh.. 'cause he's... scratching the dragon's chin! Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket! That, and I can't draw arm armour! ^___^"

What I like best about this pic is that you've shown an elf in practical armor, not half dressed in silks. Yay for realistic fantasy!

1 Cheryl L Berube replies: "Thank you! Nothing is better appreciated by an artist than good armour.. uh.. I mean.. a warrior. yeah. Thanks for commenting and visiting! "

I love the shading. I suck at shading maybe that's why good shaded pictures lure me! 1 Well done!

Dragon!! Lovely white dragon... hm, a warrior? where? I can't take my eyes away from this lovely creature...

OK, the warrior is also nice. You're a great artist, I just have a crush on dragons... And this one is really lovely. Really, really lovely dragon.

At first I thought he was petting the dragon's tongue, like you do for orcas (at least, according to 'Free Willy'), but then I saw that what I took to be lower jaws was a paw... and now I think the paw's just too cute!
