Description

"The prophecies however, spoke of the crystal bearers. Chosen heroes of starlight, born for the glory of the Kingdoms.
The guardians of man, elf and dwarf, and the protectors of the realms.They shall rise when times are dire, and come bearing arcane light and the wrath of dragons.
One hero shall arise from every kingdom, and with him, a celestial crystal echoing his name.
They are the Twilight Force.
/.../
One is a wood elf.
A swift and cunning woodland ranger with his heart in the trees and his spirit on the seas."

~Blackwald; Epilogue, Heroes of Mighty Magic

I'm back, folks! Long time no see, eh? Let's just say lots of things (mostly positive! :lol: ) have happened the last few months, too much to explain here and now I'm afraid. ^^; I can only say that my newfound discovery of 'Adventure Metal'-band Twilight Force plays a major role in all of it. :aww:
<EgoBoostAlert>Ahem, like, what happened two weeks ago on their FB-page B-) (Cool) B-) (Cool) B-) (Cool) </EndOfEgoBoostAlert>

This here is intended to be the first in a series of tributes I was planning to do for the band members of aforementioned band. Depicted here is--- as the title says--- Aerendir the Wood Elf, alias Jocke Leandro Johansson, the rhythm guitarist of the band (y
ou see, each member plays the role of and 'cosplay' a character in the fantasy universe they make songs about. This live footage probably explain it much better than I do. Oh, and some of you might remember that video I linked to in my last poll? ;P ).
The plan for this one now is to print it out, put it into this "magic scroll" and, whenever the next occasion presents itself, deliver it to the Wood Elf in person. B-) (Cool) Rather overambitious, I know, but I sure hope it might work out sometime this summer. ^^;
That pose sure was driving me nuts, but... meh, it'll have to work for now, I guess. =P

Oh, and I almost forgot--- the' find the items'-challenge! ;D Soooo, can you find.....

Bullet; Red The Derp Dragon setting its own tail on fire (this one's pretty easy, I know =P )
Bullet; Blue The "guitar"
Bullet; Black The signature "D. U. D." ?

Dramatic light at its finest XD I love how the top of the image can be viewed as if light was being scattered by leaves and the bottom of the image is more like a thunderstorm in the sea. Gotta love the rupee, I mean, jewell's iridiscence at the top foreground. The elf's hair and the wood are beautifully rendered :heart: Took me a while to realize what you were refering to as the "guitar", I had to check the next drawing of this series to be fully sure that I found the right one XD
