Description Is there a word for Characters that are Elf/Ogre hybrid. Because if there is such word, please let me know.. U__U;

Now, here we've got my character Mareena, before she met Syrus, Arashi, or Nivia. Mareena managed to save a village from a Drow elemental sorceress' rule of over 100 years. The villagers were overjoyed to have gotten rid of the foul terror that has tormented them for so long.

They gathered up the feast that was originally prepared for the sorceress, whom had claimed she needed to feast to keep her powers strong. Many of the villagers set up the entire 30 course meal in Mareena's honor. After Mareena had eaten her fill after the 18th dish. She attempted to tell them she was full, but the villagers only looked at her with a brief confusion and continued to place food before her. After eating another 6 plates Mareena decided to give them a little incentive to stop.

When the calamity was over and done with, Mareena spoke with one of the village elders, who informed her that the sorceress forbade the utterance of the word, "full", from their vocabulary for the past 100 years. Mareena's face splashed with shock momentarily, before it slowly sunk into a blank stare, where she saw people poring water into water pots that were already overflowing.

Across the market area, Mareena saw a merchant stuffing scoop fulls of grain in a burlap sack bursting at the seams. Mareena released a sigh, when she saw the 6ft statues of the of the heavily stuffed Sorceress scattered about the village. A thought struck her as she looked at the statues. "Why is it that you've never told the people about this?" The elder just laughs and lets a smile crack across his face. "I love the view..." The old man says pointing out into the crowds of heavily plump people walking about.

Putting aside the lame story behind this, I originally wanted this to replace a sketch I did a few years, back that you may see in my scraps, if I haven't deleted it. Plus This is another attempt, to get myself out of a nearly year long rut.

Glad I could help man, (:

Oh! And I hope you do a pic or two of Mareena's battle against the sorceress who terrorized the village she saved (what she do? Beat in an eating contest? mmm, lol)

Nah not in an eating contest, she beat her in a battle using elemental magic, you know, fire, wind, water, and earth. All that of that stuff. Mareena didn't kill her or anything, Mareena thought she was preggers, but no just hugely stuffed.

I'm digging the line and the subtle shading in this one. The metal's not bad either, but the way you handled the hair and face really stood out to me. I like this piece a lot. Great job. I approve.

Hahaha X3 Lost in translation, ne? very nice pic as always. I like the interactivity of this one, it's like she's talking to the viewer in a very casual and believable way

In a way I've really modeled this in the spirit of She Hulk, (Not Just with the green skin), but as her breaking the fouth wall from time to time.

I was thinking about that myself(the elf/ogre brids), and O just decided that Ere sounded the best in my opinion, just tossing that out there.

Nice story, funny how such a small word can have such consequence XD. And I love the coloring and lihting on this one, especially her metallic glove. Very well done.

You would actually suprised at that absence of a tiny word could do some pro found things. Like in some laguages there is no word for "I" or "Me", also take the concept of Zero... That had a monstrous effect on how records were kept for trade thousands of years ago and now we have whole system of societies that can't exist with out it. No zero, no computer...

That's true. I guess death really is in the details. Goes to show how mindless and literal some people can be aswell, and how even the craziest traditions cling on.

I really like how you detailed her outfit, and the choice of texture for her metal bracelet is keen to success. The skull is awesome, too. But that's because I'm biased with skulls. I love skulls.

Love this one! Superb belly and great detail!

One thing I have rarely seen with a character this stuffed if having them lay down on that big bulgy belly! A top or side view in that position would be really cool. Doesn't go with this story so much, but it's just a thought!

GGJ2 In reply to Psyman2 [2008-08-25 06:02:59 +0000 UTC]

You're right that would be an interesting position to draw a draw a character, that's something I haven't tried. I'll look into doing that.
