Another elven archer, this time a male moon elf, and arcane archer. It was a requested character and although I am not sure what the requester thinks yet I am really happy with this picture and will upload it already. :) Hope you like him too. I used a variety of pictures, head model is a guy from models.com, he had a strange head but terribly usable for an elf although I had to alter his features a lot. The hair was originally short and I painted the longer hair myself because I couldn't find a suitable pic on my computer for the hair. Think it worked out alright :D The arms actually belonged to Keira Knightley from the movie King Arthur because they were posed so fantastically. The body was constructed of LOTR armour pieces and textures were added to finish it off. Then relighted, background added, recoloured, etc etc etc.
You are very talented ! A great part of the portraits I took are done by you ! Thank you very much for your great job. And sorry for my bad english :s

He is exactly as I imagined a moon elf would look, and the use of light is lovely. I think you did a great job!

Something in the pose and the face strikes me as not quite right. Also, moon elves have dark or silver hair, if I'm not mistaken.

Cool!I find that there is something wrong(though I don't know what it is)with the position of the arm,and how much it looks like the string was just let go from there.You might want to fix that.

Excellent work.

The lighting is great, and the overlay of the chain on the armor along with the way the hard parts of the armor seem to hang from his body give a fantastic effect."Me Go Beer!" - Mr. Dave _________________________ Me go beer!

The one who requested this would be me and aside that he looks a little to young for my character, this is still a great portrait. But we talked about the changes Phaere and I'm anxious to see the outcome of that. :)

I like it too. Very suitable for an arcane archer. Please allow some critique though... 1) His hair doesn't follow gravitation. 2) The cape looks weird for several reasons: 2a) There's no item to keep it from falling. (don't know the word for it) 2b) The pink line - I can't quite figure out what it is. 3) The head is a tiny bit too small and could blend better with his chest. (his haircut underlines that effect) But still: You ARE (one of) the best! And the most industrious of all.
