Description
This was a commission I did for a guy named Derek back in October, when I was doing such things. The directions were to do a drow elf in a breastplate with a spider design on it. At the time I wasn't even sure what a drow elf was (still not positive) but he was happy with the way it turned out. He saw some sketches on my website where I'd been exploring dragon skeletons and paid me extra to add in the little bone guy and I have to say he ended up being my favorite part of the work.The commission was for ink, so I never did end up coloring it. Too bad really.
Bic .5mm mechanical pencil, Uni-Ball Vision pen.

Drow are ebon-skinned elves with white hair, red eyes that view their dark world through infravision (heat vision), and attoned/heightened sences. A Drow city lies deep in the bowels of the Underdark, devoid of all light and plant-life; such a city is an underground city of assasins the city and its inhabitants are out to destroy itself. Women rule with superior intelligence, and great strength; men are soliders who pass from house/kingdom to house as the house they fought for is demolished. Betrayal, death and dishonesty are the ultimate keys to survival, and, often everyday occurances. Evil, trickerey, beauty and lust are greatly rewarded by the Spider Queen, Lolth, and her priestesses act in accordance to what Lolth admires in her servants. Those who do not obey Lolth to the letter, without quick redemption and attonement for their action or lack of action, are cast out of favor of the deity, and are destroyed by other Drow, ever eager to rise in the political standings of the Drow city...
Drow cities reming me of modern-day budiness and politics.

It's not enough that your graphite skills completely blow me away, but you have to be a damned fine inker, too. ;_; I cry. Love the costume work, here.

This is great line art--would you have any problem if I colored it? I'd love the opportunity to juice this up a bit....

Pretty, I really like the dragon skeleton, and the staff that the drow is holding. It really does look like a drow to myself, perhaps a preistess. I've rped drows before, they are a very intresting elven race.

A drow is a dark elf (one type of many). They usually live underground, have dark grey to black skin, and assosciate with spiders They're a matriarchal society
Anyways, I think this is awesome and it is a shame you didn't get to do a color one because the linework is great, very smooth. Nice work incorporating the spider into the design of the breastplate, it looks excellent

Fabulous inking! Smooth, clean, and dark in just the right places. The breastplace is awesome, and I love the little skeleton pet too! Wonderful detail. There's always so much to look at in your work.

I think one of my favorite things about your style, besides the fact that it rocks in general LOL is that you bring such a solid realism to it, without losing the fantasy-type beauty. Big noses, big chins, or whatever else you give a specific character, they never look out of place or misdrawn. In this one I love the knees. You have the bones of the kneecap so realistic, but the leg is still soft and feminine. Fantastic job, Amber, as always
My favorite part is the little skeletal dragon. I LOVED looking at the bone studies of the dinosaurs you shared with me. Absolutely fascinating what you see that I don't. It's the great thing that seperates all artists styles, the things they notice and implement. Good job!
