SciFi and Fantasy Art Elf Ranger (New!) by Timothy R. Wollweber


	This is the new and improved version of the Elf ranger from the first story in 'Chronicles of Galeia'. I left the older version of the Elf ranger up to compare with this one... I think this one is better, don't you? More like my 'ordin' and 'Taarin' ones...

23 Aug 2002	Sniper	Loading... Actually, you are all wrong. The arrow IS on the correct side of the bow for the hand he is drawing with. If the arrow was on the other side it would be on the back of his hand above his thumb. The stance may not be completed yet so the draw may still be in action (drawing his bead). Yes, the hold on the string/arrow is awkward and would have been better portrayed as gripped between the first 2 fingers.

2 Nov 2002	Elfblade/Sandbat <elfblade@yah...com>	Loading... I love this picture! You've captured the very essence of the Elven ranger archetype. Good job!
21 Feb 2003	Brian Zix	Loading... Oh My God! this is one of the best elven pictures I have ever seen! Nice work!
1 Apr 2003	Archer	Loading... I think the drawing is great. I am a master archer and can tell you the arrow does belong on the other side of the bow. As for the draw of the bow there are many different ways to draw as well as shoot, and it has never been cut and dry as to what method is best. This picture shows the archer at full draw in an instinctive shooting style (No Sights on the bow)the forefinger on the bow hand is used as and arrow rest and or guide. Even though that part of the picture has had debate the picture over all is excellent.
13 Apr 2003	Shen	Loading... How do you draw it so clean looking? kudos.
17 Jan 2004	Elf Ranger	Loading... Hey cool!I like the attire! Doesn't look like me that's for sure, but he's really cool! I like the pose too. Is that on photoshop?
8 Jul 2004	Dakeyras	Loading... Archer is right, the arrow does go on the other side of the bow, I did archery for five years. Where the arrow is now, it would fly away from the target. The arrow does not rest on the thumb, it should rest on the top of his hand (if, of course, there is no arrowrest available). Plus, he would be sighting on the left side of the string, therefore for the Arrow to be in a straight line to its target, it also would have to be on the left side of the bow. That being said, it is a fantastic picture.
