Concept art for Uglorn Chuzedros!

This is the Dark Elf that ambushed Star and Friends in book 6! I was having a lot of fun trying to get all of the parts right and tried a number of different styles. I think she came out pretty well. All of the various styles were damn good. Also, the hairstyle and piercing green eyes really make the character come to life.

Anyway, what do you think?

Here is Uglorn's information from the Character List:

Uglorn Chuzedros: Level 42, Dark Elf, House Officer, Shadow Assassin, Sub-Leader of ambush group – female - black coarse hair in crisscross short-braid cornrows, piercing green eyes, 6’2”, with a thick muscular body, paralytic poisons, bow, dual short swords, and daggers. (Snuck into Domenic’s base to help us reach Dom to talk.)

Buch 11, Ungeahnte Wendungen, der Die Weld-Reihe ist jetzt auf!

Buch 11, Ungeahnte Wendungen, der Die Weld-Reihe ist jetzt auf Amazon.de erschienen

Die Details der Geschichte:
„Nachdem er sich dem Wyrm-Ghast geopfert hat, um seinem Volk die Flucht
aus Darom zu ermöglichen, bleibt Startum Eisenwolf auf der westlichen
Seite der nordischen Region mit Phoenix, Neristhana, Helgath und Neysa
zurück. Bevor er sich um die Erlangung seiner Kampfmagierklasse kümmert,
unterstützt Star Doodmaken noch dabei, seine Festung zurückzuerobern,
bevor ihm die Zeit abläuft.

Leider scheinen die Dinge nicht so zu laufen wie geplant, vor allem
nicht mit dem Kopfgeld, das von der Chaos Storm-Allianz auf ihn
ausgesetzt wurde. Auf seinem Weg trifft Star auf neue Freunde und
Feinde, während er gegen die Herausforderungen kämpft, die die WELT für
ihn bereithält. Wenn er nicht stets in Bestform bleibt, könnte Star
jemanden verlieren, der ihm sehr nahe steht und daran gehindert werden,
seine neue Klasse zu erlangen.“

​Concept art for Mike Eyedol!

The whole Dark Elf concept is an awesome thing for me in The World. I wanted to come up with my own twist to the traditional fantasy Dark Elves. They're not evil in comparison to the Light Elves. They're simply a different color of skin with their own unique culture that shares components of the general "Elven" heritage.

I sort of came up with the idea from living in Europe. Racism, prejudice, or whatever you want to call it is not based on skin color but on cultural differences and the country one comes from. This was a perfect window into The World. No one cares that a Human's, Elf's, Gnome's, or Dwarf's skin is darker or lighter. You're simply a Human, Elf, Gnome, or Dwarf. You either share their culture and region of origin or you don't. Another race is just that, another race ... aka another species.

Anyway, how do you like Mike's character? Does this fit your image of Dark Elves?

The Character Sheet Information:

Mike Eyedol: Mike, Florida, Half-Human/Dark Elf Shadow Assassin, Nightmare start, a best friend of Jason’s.

*Since I know Mike IRL, I never worried about describing how he looked in the Character Sheet, only inside the story when we meet each of their characters =D

Concept artwork for Brenna Talathiel

Brenna is Rayne's friend and is the individual she requested Star rescue to earn her as a companion. Star ends up finding her in his first exploration of BrokenFang Hold before saving the children. What do you think of the artwork for her? Does this fit your vision?

Brenna Talathiel (Companion): Level 55 – Half-Elf Hunter – female - archer / huntress, sandy-blonde hair, sturdy build, short, olive-brown skin, almond brown eyes. Combat Pet: Elite Earth Shock Wolf named Crag

Concept art for Laurie Butcher!

Except for the lack of green eyes, I felt like these images came out pretty good for her character. The Royal Guard's uniform was always described as being blue and I felt like these were some decent Swordswoman Human pictures. What do you think?

Anyway, here is her information from the Character List:

Laurie Butcher (Rescued from Darom’s dungeon and The Dread Pack): Level 47 – Royal Army Team Leader (Promoted to Sub-Leader), Defensive Warrior – Human peasant – woman – parents were butchers in Darom, auburn hair down to the middle of her back, dark brown eyes, hard-faced, dark-tanned skin, stands at 6’0”. Knows poverty and discrimination for being a commoner, the highest level of the Royal Army and a Team Leader left alive in the dungeon.

Concept art for Laurie Butcher!

Except for the lack of green eyes, I felt like these images came out pretty good for her character. The Royal Guard's uniform was always described as being blue and I felt like this was one of the better Swordswoman Human pictures in the group. What do you think?

Anyway, here is her information from the Character List:

Laurie Butcher (Rescued from Darom’s dungeon and The Dread Pack): Level 47 – Royal Army Team Leader (Promoted to Sub-Leader), Defensive Warrior – Human peasant – woman – parents were butchers in Darom, auburn hair down to the middle of her back, dark brown eyes, hard-faced, dark-tanned skin, stands at 6’0”.

Another Fylreh Concept Art Try!

​Here's another Fylreh try. Several of the furless Centaurs came out looking quite good and are probably not allowed on FB =D

Fylreh's information from the Character List:
Fylreh Ilyrall: Level 50 Centauride Chieftain’s Daughter – female - the oldest daughter of Chieftain – Filly (aka unmarried – not a mare) – chestnut hair fur and dirty blonde hair, golden eyes, stacked – early twenties – long bow and dual scimitars with an iron-shod shield on back. She has a very large chest. Arbitrator. Reminded me of young Lagertha from Vikings. Father is Darrix Ilyrall. Combat Pet: Elite Earth Shock Wolf Rocky. Skirmisher Class.

​Concept art for Keela Moréfindiel!

Keela is the other companion that Star runs into in book 3 when he was climbing the peak of the mountain of Fang Pass on his way to BrokenFang Hold. These are the two ladies running from the Troll that he saves. Right now, I can't get the AI to do ragged ripped clothing but this was my first attempt at getting her character created. What do you think?

Keela Moréfindiel (Companion): Level 54 – Half-Elf Dark Mage – female - female elf, milky-white porcelain skin, dark mage, long black hair, gray eyes. Combat Pet: Elite Earth Shock Wolf named Maul. Had a one-night stand with ex-skirmisher Legar.

Concept art for Alanah Valadhiel, part 2 of 2!

These newer Alanah pictures are how I picture her now during book 11's bard show. She's leveled up and aged into an 18 to 22-year-old young woman. It is cool to visualize her on the stage with the rest of the bard troupe singing her heart out to the newfars as she tries to change their mind on Startum Ironwolf and the travesties that happened during her travels.

As always, I've listed her Character List information below:

Alanah Valadhiel (Companion/Brat Pack): Level 20 – Half-Elf Priest – female child - had her arm chopped off during the Goblin Raid. Light-brown, long hair, comely, hazel eyes and thin as a rail. Metal magic arm, Kopy-Katze, gray Akito (green eyes).

Concept art for Zhou Li of the Devil Dogs!

I decided to keep Burt's concept for Asian Light Elves and that characters would make their characters try to make their Elf avatar as close to their standard of beauty as possible. Also, I don't think I ever discussed how Zhou looked in the story. Did she do black hair or white hair? That's a good question so when the AI did white hair, I decided to keep those images too.
Did I keep that unique look to her character that Burt had? What do you think?
​
Here's her information from the Character Sheet:
Zhou Li: Level 50 Light Elf Rogue – female, American-Japanese, 5’2” IRL, Combat Pet: Wildclaw combat pet named Blair.
