| 9 May 2005 |  Frida Månsson |  Loading...Hm! It seems like you want some help with the skin. I´l tell you what I would have done. I think it looks pretty good as it is but you have to make it much darker. Decide with places that will be completely black and make them so. keep all the brightest areas like they are or make them even brighter. Fill out the rest of the areas with a pretty dark shade. For a glossy sheen make the contrast between the hues big. I dont know if this helps but I dont think I can explain any better. I have a drow in my gallery if you would take a look.  Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thanks once again Frida, your comment is actualy more help than you know. After looking at my sketch and reading your comment I felt like kicking myself. I hate it when I try so darn hard to solve a problem but the answer keeps eluding me. Then someone comes along takes one look at it and there it is! I wonder if i'm the only one who goes through this." | |
| 21 May 2005 | AlpineBob | Loading... No, no, no! The skin is not a flaw; it's a feature! See, he has just had a spell cast on him that causes him to radiate light and heat and it makes his skin appear ashen as a side effect. Now, why would a Drow want such a spell? Hmmm.... Uh, to fight some cold creature that takes damage from heat. Yeah, that works... Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Yes it does work! I think i'll use it, thanks Alpine Bob!" | |
| 15 Jun 2006 | Guxx | Loading... Wow... just wow... the drawing is amazing... and something about how it's shaded makes me think of drow infra-vision... it just seems like you can see the glow of his body heat, especially with how the background darkens the further it gets from him. Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thank you Guxx. I'm glad you noticed the glow around him as I was trying to put in the fairie fire magic drow seem to have in D&D." | |
| 6 Jan 2007 | Pita | Loading... Hey, I am digging your drow!  Your detail on the armor is absolutely astounding! I just can't get over how much time you must have put into getting it to look that perfect! I have another comment about what might be improved upon. I think the skin tone should be darker. I know it's scary to darken the skin because well, black (in the sense of graphite) is always kind of scary! (Hard to erase if you mess up.) Otherwise one might think this is actually a regular elf. Still, I enjoy looking at this one! GO YOU! Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thanks Pita! I so agree with you that I should have made the skin darker and that I was very intimidated and very nervous about darkening it especialy since I work with graohite. Hopefully i'll get it right next time as i've gained a whole new level of confidence within the past few years. I'm seriously thinking about giving the Drow race another try and so far i've gotten as far as the pose layout. Thank you again for the great comment and wish me luck (i'm gonna need it)." | |
| 28 Mar 2007 |  Vici Mahone | Loading... LOVE it! Keep everything the same, but if you end up coloring it, try making his hair black with a pale blue stripe or two. WHY in the WORLDS did you think this was a bad drawing??!!? It's FANTASTIC!!!! Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Hi Vici, well I guess its not a total failure but my anatomy was way off and the shading was far from what I had invisioned it was going to look like. Thanks again and hopefully my next drow pic (in progress at the moment) will turn out better." | |
| 12 Aug 2007 |  Jason Jsun Dement | Loading... Well, I think it's bad ass Lloyd. The armor design definately screams drow. The only thing if any that I'd say could be different is that to me (notice it's an opinionative statement) drows seem to be a slimmer more lythe(sp?) type of race. As for the muscle bulk, you could take it down some. To me dark elf says: slender, sinister, angular, and of course dark. Also you could throw in a luscent quality to them... kinda like the glow in the dark poisonous fungis probably found in there homes. Tried 3 times already to submit this comment so sorry if it shows up all 3 times lol Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Not to worry as the comment only came up once. Its happened to me on several occasions where I kept pressing (Save Comment) and the darn comment was posted 5 times in a row, lol. Now about your comment, I afree completely with your description of drows and I do recall when I drew this I was going through a weird big muscle stage in my drawings. Not the best time to have been drawing an elf I guess. I've been working off and on another drow pic but its been a year and i'm still working on it. Maybe i'll finish it this year." | |
| 24 Apr 2008 |  Nathan Cel Medwin | Loading... Hey I really like this!!! I think you did an excellent job!! I think it’s GREAT!! I think you should do MORE!!!! Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thank you! I have been planning for a long time now to draw another drow but somehow I keep getting sidetracked." | |
| 26 Jun 2008 |  Constantine "ghostdog" Demos | Loading... Very good work. Carefull and detailed. Subtle details on the muscles and vivid details on his gear.Great. Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "I’m happy you liked this one. Thank you." | |
| 9 Sep 2008 |  Karen Stevens | Loading... I think he looks fantastic! I disagree with Jason’s comment - yes, all elves are slim, but if that guy’s been training with those swords for years and years he would’ve built up some muscle; so long as he doesn’t reach Conan/Arnie size it’s fine - he looks like an elf to me! I love his armour and the intense look on his face. Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thank you. I’m very happy you liked this one." | |
| 5 Nov 2008 |  Colby snake Van Devere | Loading... This pic is ****ING awsome. Its awsome!!! Sorry excuse my language. I realy like it but i think you need to darken up on the skin. I’m not much of an artist but i know that it sux workin with graphite on REALY dark stuff. I think maybe his armer should darken up to show his inner drow. I also think that maybe having ork blood or something on the blades with a body of whatever race it is in the background. Other then that i beleave It is amazing. i could create a wonderful story off this one pic thats how great it is. I don’t know why you think its bad. I also think if you colored it it would look great. Lloyd Dennis Zacarias replies: "Thanks, yeah I didn’t have too much luck with this one. Itried to get black in there but your on the mark when you said dark tones are hard to do with graphite." | |
