D&D Elven Cleric

Medium: Pencil

"His name is Feohtar Argilion, and he's an Elven cleric of Corellon Larethian. He's short even for an elf (4'10", to be exact), and tends to take any and all short jokes personally. He's built like a martial artist: lithe, compact, and strong despite his slenderness and small size, and, like all Elves, has creamy-fair skin. He's got striking red hair with a coppery shimmer that's slightly wavy and reaches down to the small of his back, with permanently unruly bangs that no amount of brushing or judiciously-applied water can tame. His eyes are large, sky-blue, and surprisingly innocent for an Elf who's pushing 150.

He wears golden scale mail with no helmet and carries a light wooden shield painted silver and emblazoned with the sigil of Corellon Larethian, which is also on the chestplate of his armor. He has a longsword with an elaborate hilt at his side, a quiver of green-fletched arrows strapped to his back, and a beautifully-crafted longbow bound lightly to his quiver for easy access. Under the mail, he's dressed in a simple forest-green tunic, close-fitting brown leggings, and tall black boots.

His face is fair-featured, holding the typical delicate Elven beauty but blending it with some human elements from his great-grandmother. He's got the aforementioned wide blue eyes, a snub nose (that he's somewhat embarrassed about), a full, somewhat feminine mouth, and a stubborn chin. His face is heart-shaped, all of his features blending deceptive delicacy with sheer, pugnacious stubbornness."
