lol The name Anaryan Runya Hellvedar is such a mouth-full. xP
He's really pretty though, and I could tell by just one glace at his face expression that I will fall in love with this guy. <3

The background/border is very elegant and elfishs so I personally think it suits this guy perfectly. :D

LOL, but if you plan on submitting the story online, I would love to read it. =P It'll be so interesting to read his reactions when he's at the festival.

@:

lol! Okay, you're the first one to ask for his engagement so I suppose he's yours first then.XD You may have to share though.

I know it! I never knew why they never had re-headed elves! I mean...why not?! Plus, red hair just fit his personality better. I didn't think blonde, brown, or black would work with his feisty, care-free ways.

Ha! And no, he's a male elf and he shall remain a male elf.

I actually find Photoshop super easy...I guess it's from doing traditional art for so long, the concept is the same with Photoshop...except all the colors are pre-mixed for you and if you make a mistake or don't like a color or something...un-do button! Hee! And it worked out well since I changed certain colors on this elf quite a bit before I'd find just the right shade.

You just keep getting better and better with CG art.

That was a clever idea for the background. I would never think to crumple paper up like that and scan it. XD Though, I rarely do that kind of stuff to begin with, but I doubt it would cross my mind. It suits the picture well. Well played Elves. XD

I’m not used to seeing many Elves like him. His personality is a nice change. You definitely captured his energetic personality too. That was the first thing I noticed when I seen the picture.

I look forward to seeing the manga. It’s going to be a fun read.

omg evles it turned out freaking gorgeous, for ur 4th attempt ur insaneeeee

love the textures and the way u colored :D

@Anoel:

Thanks! Yeah, there's so few red-headed elves, aren't there?

Wow! Awesome job on the movement and color! Go elves!

Awww gosh he is the most adorable, spunkiest, witty elf I have ever seen! Fantastic job on the fantasy look you gave him Lindsey, the clothes really seem to match his personality as well. The coloring is of course amazing as always^^ I would love to be able to read this cutie's story someday! =] Great job^^

Great job, as always, Elves! ^^

You have got to do that manga, it sounds completely amazing and hillarious! I would most certainly be reading it. He does look like a very hyperactive elf as well. I just love the pose and the expression. Everything looks so amazingly perfect. The backgrounds as well. They set an amazing mood over it all. Ingenius ~ Many, many thumbs up ~ Please do the manga ~ Begs ~ I'll give you a spider ~ Holds one in your direction and we both grin ~

I love it a whole lot Elves, like I said on dA I'm glad you're really going through with this manga it honeslty sounds fun and I'd sure love to read it.

Wow, that's great!!! Amazing!! He's so cool~ I love the colors. His hair and eyes...awww...and the pose. This is crazy~~ I love the storyline. :D It sounds like it'd be entertaining. Nice job!

Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome.

Again, the pose is so natural and the hair is so wispy and his face is so expressive of his personality. And the COLORING!!! GAAAHHH how do you DO it?!

I like it. Especially how the coloring came out. It's cool. :3
Can't wait for the manga. The name's pretty long too. Mind if I just call him Hellvedar? x]

wow, you actually made the background yourself by scanning a crumpled paper, huh? I was surprised by that one.

This one really looks very alive, like it will jump out of the drawing poking its nose in whatever it sees fascinating.

Good work, elves! ^^

*le gasp* he's SO COOL!!
This is like the coolest elf I've ever seen
You go girl, I can't wait to read the story!:D
*hugs & faves*

~SG

I love this ^^ he looks ready to go have an adventure! I hope you and your friend have oodles of fun creating the story and art.

I really like his hair *smiles* the whole picture looks so proffesional and snazzy *two thumbs up* i'm looking forward to hopefully being able to read the story one day ^^

Wow, that's really pretty. I especially like his red hair. You do good!

wows. I really like your digital stuff. it's so clean [not that your traditional work isn't clean]. The background texture is nice too especially since you didn't resort to a stock image. You made it yourself. haha. I like it. The name is pretty crazy too. How the hell did you come up with it???

very nice! I love her, you did a great job with the pose and the colors. ^______^

YAY!!! Anaryan Runya Hellvedar (seriously, the name is awesome!) looks mighty fine to me! ^.^ You did a great job with the concept art! I love his clothes! Though I didn't expect him to have red hair, I rather like it. GREAT job!! (Now you're getting me excited about the manga.)
