I guess I don't stink as much on character portraits as I thought, though I haven't done too many recently. This one is one of the alien-human, half-elf hybrids I illustrated during the height of my Darkovan drawing era. He isn't an actual character from a book or text, just a try-out of pen and marker technique. As you can see my markers were drying out and when this drawing was done, markers were much less sophisticated than the current ones I'm so thrilled with. If I find or re-discover some fantasy writing I still like, I might try some more character portraits after all these years.

You know, aside from the quality of the drawing, those styles of clothes allow for no pockets. Bummer. Did you ever see the YouTube series on dressing in in 1770, 1885, and so on? Women's only, but the pockets were separately tied on and accessible through a slit in the side of the skirt.
