Drawing Practice - A Fair Elf Maiden!
Added 2022-01-24 09:28:23 +0000 UTCOne of the things I'm working on improving is my understanding of proportions and, importantly, which of those proportions can be changed without looking wrong. When I started drawing it surprised me how sensitive the eye can be to some incorrect proportions (limb length or foot size, for example), while being perfectly happy with other ones (like breast size, hip width, or butt size, all on display here)!
Forgive the sloppy colouring job, I felt is was better than just a black/white sketch.
"It is commonly said that the elves of the Northern Forests are a dying race. Many cite warfare and the waning of magic from the world as possible causes, but these are both incorrect. Elves seem unaffected by the decrease in ambient thaum levels, and their long lifespans coupled with human-like pregnancy cycles should result in a booming population, not ebbing one.
The true explanation is unfortunately crude - a fact that has kept it out of many formal magical publications: Elves will fuck anything with a pulse. Female elves have an all-month fertility window, while male sperm seems to be able to exploit the fertility of other females with alarming efficiency. Combined that with consistently high libedo and the ability to form viable offspring with nearly every other race on the face of the Realm and the answer becomes clear: There aren't many more elves, because there are so many half-elves!" - Fonathus the Wizened, who would go on to father seven half-elves during his studies.
