This is a picture of a Gloranthan Green elf from 'Hero Wars'. Elves or Aldryami are a species that belong to the vegetable or plant kingdom. This means that elves are closely related to their trees and grow eveything they need including their weapons. I tried to emphasize its plant nature by puting in grain-like lines closely following the muscles and making its hair leaf-like. Its eyes are blank single colour. Its Elf-Bow is a living plant which helps it to fire its arrows. Paper and pencil.

This is really great! Beautiful how you made the 'wooden' skin. The whole picture is so mysterious, I love it.

Very nice musculature! Very very impressive shading too! I love the wooden skin, it's very original

This is a great picture! The shading, the musculature etc. Just one thing: the arm reaching for the arrow does seem a little bit out of perspective - like it doesen't really streches bakwards like it should for it to get hold of the arrow.

Elven are known as a clean, slim, beautiful, smart, intelectualy high performance... beside their long ears, elven eyes (better see in the dark ability), and their nature as a good hunter...
I'm sorry, but I am an elven characters fanatic, I always play elven character in every games that have an elven character... ^_^
Your drawing is good the shading are good too...
but (sorry) I don't like it...
It's scary...
Elven should be the most beautiful creatures in the world ever... thats the legend says!

This is a Gloranthan elf, and gloranthan elves aren't typical elves what you can find in most of fantasy books nowadays.

Hooray for the picture!

The gloranthan elves haven't really bothered to read the productions of mr. Tolkien, soo this looks justabout right.

There are also other kinds of elves who aren't as boyscout as the middle-earth ones: Http://www.Elftor.Com/elftor.Php?Number=26
