Seems my old post got deleted, so I'm starting a fresh one.
Here's a piece I just did, I might polish it up a little more but you get the idea. The subject matter is from another forum for artists Ibelong to. The subject was to make a Non-spanish Toreador (Matador). Description is below. I'll try and dig up a few old works relavent to EfU as well. BTW Chow is "CHaracter Of the Week"
In the grandest cities of Lolth exist arenas of all make and sort. These are reserved for days of great ceremony to praise Lolth's name. Many events take place, but there is one that every child, elder, and noble wait with baited breath to see. The fights of the Jivvin'xuil Ukt Ogglinn. The fighters of great talent, Jivvin'xuil Ukt Ogglinn translates roughly to "Plays with his enemy." Talented men, beyond the training of the avereage warrior. They train to torment and toy with their enemy. It is not odd to see them use any range of weapons. The classical Jivvin'xuil Ukt Ogglinn uses Tsyde Velve lu' Elgluth, or "Thin Blade and Whip." Their system is very stern and regimented. Firstly, one must leap onto the enemy to discharge the spur darts. Their boots are fitted with a mechanism for this discharge, a simple movement releases them.These darts are enchanted with faerie fire. It does not burn one, but illuminates the target. These read vivid in the infrared spectrum of the Dark elves vision, allowing the Jivvin'xuil Ukt Ogglinn to more clearly make out the movements of his enemy. Secondly, the movement and sound of his faerie fire tipped whip and the flapping of his piwafwi (usually red) are used to guide and make spectacle of the enemy. Once proper show has been made, the thin blade for the kill. The fatal strike of the thin blade must be done so that the animal's last moments are of utter pain and embarassment. Any fool can strike a beast's most vital spot that would drop them in an instant. Only the Jivvin'xuil Ukt Ogglinn know the death points that will send their beast enemy into fits of spasms and other humiliating bowel emptying spectacles. To show that the Dark Elves, and their Maiden Lolth, are the superior in this cursed land of lightlessness.

Something I did for a little project. The idea was do design a 2D fighter character. Thought you cats might dig it.

Mordur in Tigereye gear
I particularly like the tiger on his arm - It's a detail that adds a lot of character, I think.

This is a little self portrait work. I'm playing around with developing a style that uses less line work. Why do you care? Well, you get to see what I look like, and eventually I be able to make some decent avatars.
this is a little step by step. Its not a finished piece, just a study.

Hook, the smudgy-lookin' stuff (technical terms, eh?) makes you look way more 3D than the previous pictures.
Also, I knew you had to look pissed-off. :wink:

Nice lamb chops.
I prefer to call them thigh ticklers.
Why do you have a scythe!?
I and a co-worker were taking some pictures at work of some buildings before they demolished them. And, the crit x 4 is super sweet
