Cool work greatseamonster!
Feel free to take a crack at my guy:
Elijayess Moonshadow is a rugged wild elf, though not as feral looking as some members of his race, due to years away from the harsh forests of his homeland. The strongest elf who ever lived, Elijayess is still lean and lithe. His rock-hard muscles look carved out of stone, but his elven heritage prevents him from being overly bulky. His nearly waist length black hair is fine and straight like that of a Native American, but he keeps it pulled back in a thick single braid. His long bangs would cover his eyes if he didn’t keep them swept to one side. His skin is dark.
His signature weapon is his mighty longbow. At first glance it appears crude for an elven weapon, not delicate and artistic but massive in its destructive capabilities. Few men alive possess the strength to draw the string to their ear, fewer still can string it. Countless men and beasts have been felled by the deadly bow of Elijayess.
His other weapons include an enchanted bastard sword inlaid with a slim mural of reptilian beasts along the middle of the blade (the sword possesses special enchantments against reptilian foes), and a dagger is sheathed on the outside of each of his shins, their handles protruding from his leather boots.
He wears form fitting buckskin pants and sleeveless leather armor on his torso, accentuating his muscular bare arms. A blood-red hooded cloak adorns his shoulders, and a quiver full of black feathered arrows is strapped across his back, over the cloak. His bastard sword hangs in a scabbard at his side and he wears a gold amulet around his neck.

Angcuru
First Post
Hmm... nice work on all these here pics.
I've been trying for ages to get a good rendition of my favorite character, Angcuru Melaroira, but with no luck.
The problem is that I have two mental images of him: during his adventuring years, and post-adventuring/settled-down.
I hope someone here is up to the task...
Here's a general description of what he looks like:
Male Elf, about 6 foot tall (1.83 meters), approx 150-160 lbs (68-73 kilograms).
Slightly tan skin tone.
Auburn hair tied back into a single plait, a generous bit longer than shoulder length.
Light green eyes.
When it comes down to it, the best way to describe his facial structure is a young Kevin Costner(with elven features, of course, but not TOO elven).
Body structure is well-muscled, not overbearing, not bulgy, but more along the lines of being lithe, sinewy, etc. Right handed.
Now, during his time as an adventurer (actually more like trying to survive and get a bit of revenge, but that's beside the point) he dresses in simple, but stylish shirt and breeches, colored brown/green, general woodsy-colors. Angcuru doesn't wear any armor, since his main method of defense is being REALLY fast, agile, intuitive dodging, etc. This should be suggested or portrayed somehow in the pic. His weapon of choice is the longbow, which he uses with unnatural accuracy and speed. He doesn't use the normal method of precisely aiming each shot, waitint to see if it hits, and then going for the next shot. His method would be best described as placing the arrow(s) exactly where he wants it to go with a swift, speedy pull and release, drawing another arrow(s) with the same motion used to release his shot; kinda like a super-accurate machine gun, but with arrows. Otherwise he uses a long, thin, single-edged blade of golden glass, sort of like a straight katana, which he wields in the fashion of a fencer/duelist/really agile bad-ass type(uses his free

hand to direct the motion of the blade by moving it along the blunt edge when blocking/parrying, and switches to two hands when on the offensive, using precise, swift slicing/thrusting strikes) (note, the scabbard is made of the same transparent golden glass). When the bow and quiver are not in use, they take the form of a thin leather bracelet on his right wrist (yeah, it's magic and all). For other general equipment, he wears leather, platinum-etched bracers; a small jade amulet; two rings, one a circle of frozen blue flame, the other a plain platinum band; a smooth cloak of woven leaves and general all-purpose leather boots.
Either sword or bow mode would be nice, or just standing at the ready in some sort of meaningful pose, but feel free to do more than one.
His expression should be unconcerned and calm normally, or hard with a piercing gaze if he's pissed off in the picture.
As for post-adventuring mode, his expression is more relaxed, suggesting a quiet happiness. Angcuru would be wearing long, flowing robes, somewhat akin to toga, but not as extreme (the coloring of which would be a mix of greens and browns, melded togther in a marble-like pattern). There's a whole lot of detail on his demeanor and body movement, lifestyle, etc. in my Story Hour - http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=66843.
I don't want to be too demanding or sound unnapreciative of the time and effort it takes for artists to do this kind of thing (I'm quite horrible at it myself), but as I'm looking for something of a defining image, fine attention to detail is a bit of a must.
Well there ya go. Have fun being artistic. I hope.

Aenilaen (Angel, Angela) Sorne
Female High Elf
Ranger 1st lvl
ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good
WGT: 150
BUILD: Slender
EYES: Emerald green
Hair: auburn
APPEARANCE
Aenilaen is a beautiful elf with the finely chiseled features and fair skin of a high elf. Her build is slender and graceful, hiding great strength and agility. Her eyes are bright emerald green flecked with gold. Her bright auburn hair is normally braided into a single wrist thick braid that hangs past her waist.
Her loose gray breeches are tucked into a pair of black sturdy, calf-lth boots. Her loose gray shirt is in turn held in place by a sword-belt from which swings a long sword, dagger and a couple of belt-pouches. A water-proof greenish-gray cloak and hood covers her from head to foot (when she needs it too anyway).
Strapped to her back is a modified back-pack and quiverfull of arrows. (the quiver is attached to the pack and can be easily removed).
In one hand is a beautifully carved longbow, which was given to her when she reached her majority and left home.

Sounds fun.
Sounds fun, thats a lot of detail to remember though. Ive got some others q'd at the moment. First up...a sexy amazon. We'll see if I can do that. I don't like to spend too much time on my pieces (under 45 min if I can) because I've got a lot of other projects going on. But it's good practice and a fun distraction. Thanks for the kudo's ladies and gentlemen. This is fun.

I'm basically learning to "Ink" in the PC to cut down on time. I like the results.

I wasnt sure what kind of weapon she would have. I assumed at somepoint she would have weilded a glaive or guisarme. I wanted to give her a look of nobility. I can imagine her in different moods, even though she's obviously just taken someone out, I think I can see her in a different light as nurturing when she dosnt have to kick ass. My own little story in doing this pic was imagining that she had just taken down an assasin that had crawled through a palace window. I didnt include the dismembered assasin.
