Random elf by @Crash (Charlie Stadele)
If there is one thing I've picked up from looking at anime or anime-inspired comics, its the pointed elf ears that stick way out from the head. They look so much more distinctive than the western 'Spock' elf ears. So when I draw elves, I draw them with the anime ears. And I draw them in oriental garb. I mean, hey, anime-ears, almond eyes, lighter build... It seems plausible.
So my elves are generically 'oriental.' They've got black hair with various sheens, and they're dressed in....Well, whatever cool costume type I can rip off from 'The Path' or 'Way of the Rat.'
I don't like the typical western looking elven ears that much either. I'm more of a fan or elven ears that stick out horizontaly much like this guy's.
