Description

Full-view to see the detail-please comment!

This is a reference picture I drew for my D&D character, the Luminor elf Celeborn. His original name was Calaeron, but no one (including myself) could consistently pronounce it, so I had to change it for convenience's sake. If you want to know more about him, feel free to message me.

I wound up spending roughly 14 hours on the entire thing--three hours on the shield, half an hour on the signet ring, and about 10 hours on the figure himself. I really like the way it turned out, but I have to say I really hate doing fine detail like that because it takes me that much longer to finish. It was only supposed to be a quick reference drawing.

On a slightly unrelated note, I'm thinking of using this as an example of commission art. I've mentioned before that I can do character drawings, and while I'd have to charge quite a bit for a drawing like this (full figure+full color/heavy detail) I can also do simple sketches or inked drawings with the same amount of detail.

Tl;dr please comment and tell me what you think! I'm using this as a commission reference so please share with your friends as well!

As I told you when you first showed this to me, I like it quite a lot.
The amount of detail, on the shield, on the clothes, etc is super nice.
The head is slightly big in comparison to the rest of the proportions, but it isn't too off. Just a little thinner, or a wider body would fix that.
Also, this may just be me, because I'm not really an archer or anything but the way he is holding the bow seems a little off. I would suggest, like the hand that is holding the bow be a little more straight, but once again that's a pretty small thing.
It's really great though, and I know I mentioned this before but that shield is really really great.
The time you spent on this was well worth it. u v u
