Description
You don't often see an Elf with dark skin that's not a Drow. I wanted to draw one. ^^ Took over two and a half hours of marathon drawing to accomplish this one, braids and all... ....and if I have to draw another braid in the near future, I'll cut off my hand.Done on Meriko's Oekaki.

I am making a black half-elf character for our D&D game - and you are right that it's hard to find one that is not Drow. Even as a white person, I want to bring some diversity in my characters.

Excellent. It's nice to see a black elf that's not portrayed as a drow. For what it's worth the braids are incredibly accurate and they complement the character well. Good work!

FINALLY! Oh man, thank you so much. I've been looking for a black elf that look African, and you did a great job. Kudos.

Beautiful guy 
You did a great job envisioning how an offspring of African people and elves would look like. You took care about typical features like nose shape, hair and lips. The outcome is really awesome

And yes, I think this image was well worth the pain to the hand. Excellent job. I love the facial expression especially, so soft and yet underneath I think they'd kick my arse with ease. *thumbs up*

OEKAKI???? That's an oekaki? It's incredible looking! The colors are so gorgeous, the blending so smooth! The jewel looks very cool and I love the eyes. You know, they have dark-skinned elves in the Elfquest series.

O_o You sure this was done on oekaki? I thought it was done on photoshop because the colors looked so soft.
