I wanted to tell their story here, but I can't find the words to let it flow.

My elves align with animals much like 'familiars' or 'totems' but not quite ;) Renshaw "of the raven forest" belongs to the raven. When, in travels away from his clan, he came across the gypsy Raven he knew his quest was over. Unfortunately, his time with her was short... and he never knew his son, the only raven-haired elf ever to exist in my universe.

I spent the whole day on this picture and, yeah. I mostly like it. His shoulder's too high, as if midmovement... his arm's not too short, really. But hey, first picture of Renshaw ever. Family resemblance? Naaaah. But Link is his father's son.

Of course Link'e his Father's son...it'd be a little wierd if he wasn't, now wouldn't it?
Just messin'. I like his tatoos/body art/mehindi/henna...and I want to play with his hair.
The raven is wonderful, and the shoulder's just fine...
I find this interesting: my drow elf character, Lydia, has the ability to read the twists of destiny by reading stars, and she can re-write SOME of destiny, given the proper situation. Well, her son is very much like Link, and his father, Mae'Var, looks somewhat like this, except...many scars, and less tribal tatoos...but the build and overall expression is perfect for someone Var. I like this. +Fav.

This is absolutely gorgeous.
Raven looks like a Celtic/Maori/Native American/Elven chief, hehe, but at the same time, he's so unique so you don't know where to place him!
*places him on a pedestal instead*
Ahhh.... :+favlove: definately...
link's parents are gorgeous!
Now I know where he gets it from!
