While working on a character for one of my last images I ended up dialing in this face that I thought would look good as an Elf. So, I added some Elf ears and found this outfit that seemed like it would be perfect for a sexy Elf mage.

This scene is supposed to be taking place at late sunset. I enabled subsurface scattering (SSS) on the crystal of the staff, added a point light at it’s center, and turned on a little bit of blue translucency to make it look like it’s glowing and providing light as she explores the ruins.

It might be because I started playing Elder Scrolls Online again, but I also feel inspired to create an Orc character, which I’m actually pretty excited about. I plan on sculpting her in ZBrush instead of using morphs inside Daz Studio, which is always challenging and fun. Let’s hope she turns out well! 🙂 It will most likely be a few weeks before I have any pix of the Orc done, just an FYI.

Anyway, let me know what you think!
