This is a piece I did in tribute to WoW blood elves. I've been meaning to try out this subject for a while. I had no real set plan for this, so I went online, saw a rather strongly lit photo of a blood elf cosplayer, and then I modified, cropped, and redid it in my style.

Well, I could've spent more time of this, but in the end I felt that I didn't have to render every aspect of it to perfection. This was my first one, not my only one. And some parts just got a head of me, but I'll learn from it and improve the next time I do try this subject.

Creating this piece did take a little while, though. Especially the staff. I messed around with the deisgn and kept working on it for quite a while. I feel like I overdid it with the hair as well, or at least parts of it. As to my methods, I just took the original reference, changed, cropped, and modified it, and the painted a new image (I just wanted the general pose and form).

I look forward to doing another World of Warcraft piece later on, but this should do for now. I want to try a couple of animal studies, and then I'll get back to it. I could critique it quite a bit already, but I'd rather hear what all of you have to say about it. Don't be shy. I'd welcome any comments you have (even if you love or hate it). Please let me know what you thing of it.
