Bane

For Alyssa, who got 100th comment on my Elfwood gallery. Good on 'er X3

"The smaller of the two was an astonishing figure indeed – a Fire Elven woman rather than a Dark Elf, wearing a fine mesh of black chain mail and an equally black, crestless helm. She was stunningly beautiful – a balance of foxlike Elven features with near-human fullness of mouth – but her beauty had a hard edge to it; the glowing copper-red curls beneath her helm were untrimmed and wind-snarled, far from pampered feminine ringlets, and her piercing, jade-green eyes shone with daunting fire. A grim-looking sword was girt at her waist. One of her slender hands rested menacingly on its hilt."

This is Kharais Marachi, assuming I got the spelling right, an evil, evil Fire Elf from Soulfire Seeking, seriously my favourite online novel, and rivalling the Belgariad as my favourite written story. Go~ read it, peoples! >O If not for Kharais, then for Schiri~ and Lorannon~~ <3

So yersh, Kharais. Hair's prolly not quite messy enough, and she should~ have a black helm, but I couldn't draw one without making her look like a Viking, so~ I dunno, she's gotten rid of it for reasons unknown. Her hair's as fun as Lynnlita's X3 The mail was strangely fun too. I love having more brushes in Photoshop X3 Just downloaded them a month ago and am only not getting a chance to use the things.

Titled 'Bane' for two reasons. The sword she's got? Issa baneblade, which basically means it's dipped in poison so that the slightest cut will kill in seconds. Also gives it this funky oily kind of sheen to it, which was interesting to try and duplicate, but I think I got it. Secondly, Kharais and Schiri are bitter enemies, so she's the bane of his existance. Or something. I thought it was nifty, anyway.
