A female drow that I drew in Paintshop Pro for no reason in particular. A smattering of references used to aid in drawing the face. There's actually a little more to the drawing (which is displayed in the large thumbnail) than there is in the game portrait.
This image is free for personal avatar use, but if displaying online, please give me due credit.
Update: I edited the colors so that they are as I drew them to be. They would have been correct the first time around, but my monitor was far too dark and I had to compensate in order to see them on my screen. Unfortunately, as it turns out, they were far too light when viewed on a proper monitor display.

You really managed to capture the intelligence and subtle savagery of the dark elf mind. Kudos.

Beautifully done, thought indeed Drow should be darker, but it's a common issue with many Drow portraits and if it's *too* dark it tends to lose detail which here would be a pity.

Great portrait indeed but the only drawback is her face looks for human then elven, great job regardless.

Unfortunately, this isn't how I wanted it to look. My monitor was dying (*far* too dark) when I drew this last week, and the colors are all wrong due to my having to compensate for brightness. It's supposed to be a great deal darker. :/ I just got my new monitor and have since adjusted the color appropriately, but have no idea how to update it since I never get the e-mail after submitting stating how to change a submission.
I've since sent the webmaster an e-mail and resubmitted it, but if it's at all possible for someone to tell me how to edit past submissions, I'd really appreciate it.

"Dark" or not "dark" is a question of personal opinion - but this is a very well done painting.

Since I´m not all that familiar with the world of Dungeons and Dragons (I always played a Swedish RPG, not classical D&D) I actually prefer the evil drows with a pale greyish skin. In my playworld that is the correct color for a dark elf living deep below. Pale and eerie...
Wonderful portrait!

On the technique: excellent work, especially the hairs look very detailed. Great work on that. :)
On the character: I normally hate the standard rules on how to make races,etc. But in this case I would have to say she could be a tad darker. Drow are after all dark elves, and she looks more grey now.
Other than that: really nice. :D
