Eöl, the Dark Elf
August 25, 2016
"But Eöl, though stooped by his smithwork, was no Dwarf, but a tall Elf of a high kin of the Teleri, noble though grim of face; and his eyes could see deep into shadows and dark places."
JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion.
The finished glowering gentleman: complete with leafy border and shininess.

In progress
Almost done
Gained a face: The dark elf Eöl has gained a face. The paint-first-draw-later experiment continues, and on top of all that paint I'm finally drawing the details. (The fiddly details are my favourite bit. :3 )
Detail: Aug. 16, 2016 This is just a cropped detail of the finished thing because I'm still designing a fancy border (I do love a border) that will be for him and all the other Elves coming soon!
