Drow Elf Christmas

Kern, the author of Drowtales, commissioned me to draw something for his girlfriend as a Christmas present. It's her character, Desmonde, hugging chibi versions of two guys from the manga.


This was a last minute effort. I literally finished it just before the 25th! Spent the rest of the day with my family, after I sent out the final illustration, and now I'm beat. I have a lot of catching up to do as far as work is concerned...no holiday break for me this year, now that my computer is functioning again.

I've also been reading The Neverending Story by Michael Ende (in German of course). Or maybe I should say I've been neglecting to read it. I have always enjoyed the story of the original movie, and this is the first time I'm actually reading the book, but I don't want to finish it. It's kind of ironic that I'm afraid that a never-ending story might end too soon. At any rate, I'm really inspired to do an illustration; maybe the scene where Atreyu meets the ancient Morla in the Swamps of Sadness. We'll see what comes of it.
