This is Lady Rilrae Silvermane. She is my all time favorite character from AD&D which hails from Faerun. She is half Drow (dark elf), half Deep dragon; and a Bladesinger/dragon mage. She was born into one of the Drow noble houses of Menzoberranzan, but fled the city at an early age with a group of adventurers. One of those adventurers was a silver elf Bladesinger, and heir to house Silvermane. She saw potential in the child, and raised and trained Rilrae as her own daughter. This was her beginning as an adventurer, the rest is history by now. By the end of her life, Rilrae had become the Lady of House Silvermane, petitioned for good dark elves to have a place among the surface elves, extensively studied draconic magics, as well as being happily married to Coranth Goldtalon and mother to their four children. If you want to see more of her, here's her model sheet.
Completion date: December 1998 Medium: Scanned inks colored in Photoshop 5.

Excellent picture. In my campaigns I have occassionally allowed half-elven bladesingers, but they really had to prove themselves. The tail must have made having those children interesting. Can she use it in combat?

Ah, you have solved the problem of tailed people everywhere by designing that frock! Now we don't have to cut holes in all our clothes. I like this one especially because of her defiant stance, like, "I'm purple, that's how I am, deal with it."

Very nice

Outstanding pose, and I love pictures like this, with the larger vrions of the pic faded in the backround.

Before I offer criticism, let me say this picture is awesome. Another rules-lawyer here; direct quote from the Elves handbook "Bladesingers fight one-handed or with both hands on a single-handed weapon. To do otherwise negates all bladesinging bonusses."

Cool pic.The prpl background goes with it perfectly

An awesome drawing, but there's something I don't get. Maybe you could explain it to me? How on Faerun does a drow mate with a dragon?! Does it make any sense to you? Hehe, I found it really confusing. Well, great pic.

Well, Alex, deep dragons are able to take a drow form.
I hope that answers your question.

I don't know much about the background of the picture, but I do know that Link better watch out.

Very well done! I especially love her pose and the scimitars!
