Thank you very much! Ariel always wears that mask when he is working as a vigilante, but it suits him well since his true form is a kitsune.

Hi Jean-Luc! Thank you so much for all the faves and for your interest in my artwork! All the characters in my galleries are original characters created by my husband skullard and I during our many years of Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games. During our games we create stories for them, and most of the story-telling is done through dialogue throughout the course of the RPG adventures.
I started learning how to use DAZ Studio in late 2015 so I could make images to go along with our adventures!

wow he looks so elegant. The mask in his hand (is the fos a hint on his character I wonder), his pose, his floating hair and the suroundings create a great piece I love the warm colors a lot. It makes feel "at home" or a feeling of beeing welcome. His clothes are incredible Luka. I love this fashion a lot. How do you call this fabric?
I ask myself where he is there ^^ Looks a intriguing place. Some kind of temple or palace? I want to know more

LukaSkullard In reply to HiroNoUnmei [2018-08-21 21:57:18 +0000 UTC]
Thank you so much, Hiro! I think the robes he wears are made mostly of velvet on the outside, while on the inside they'd be a soft silk. He's from a family with a fair amount of money, so Ariel always likes to be both comfortable and stylish.
I think that in my imagination the location of the place in the picture is an old Fest Hall, though Ariel has come at a time when no one else is there. He may be hiding out there for the night!

Ohhh this is intriguing! I first thought he was dressing up for a mask-ball or something simillar!! I love his long blonde hair and the gem on his forehead~ He looks like a moonelf *o*
I missed looking and reading about your characters! They are all so inspiring! Their appereance and stories and their everything! I just never get tired of the magic they all spred around I am so happy that I am able to meet them all

I'm happy that you are intrigued by the image and character! Ariel usually presents himself as a sun elf, but the mask he holds is the key who what kind of creature he really is.
He keeps it a secret because his people are quite rare and not really understood.
The mask also has a secondary meaning because Ariel is a vigilante. He takes on his secret identity to fight crime in the city where he lives, and no one knows that the hooded hero is him!
Thank you for always encouraging me with your kind words, because of kind friends like you, art is even more fun for me!

Is he maybe a moon elf? Or a uhh... how are those called who can transform into animals? I am awaiting the big reveal!!!
Also, I can understand why he hides it U.U Humans themselves sometimes cannot accept others than their similar to them :sad:

LukaSkullard In reply to Tasukriel [2018-08-17 21:42:05 +0000 UTC]
You are such a good guesser! He does indeed transform into an animal shape.
In his true form he has a big beautiful tail. He likes to curl it around himself when he sleeps. Maybe someday he will get to cuddle it around Eliath too.
He may also be able to grow other tails as his magic gets stronger!
I was giggling because I was thinking of linking to this song as one of the clues, but Ariel thinks that song is much too silly!

Tasukriel In reply to LukaSkullard [2018-08-17 21:54:39 +0000 UTC]
Ohhh I can totally see him in that cute form and the tail around him (will he be a white albino fox?) I bet that his tail is soft and fluffy!! I would also love to cuddle with him in that form!!! *goes waiting into the line after Eliah*
HAHAHAHA Gosh that song XDDD I ended up imagining him in one of those fox onesies!

Kee hee, I'm glad the song made you laugh! It's such an old meme but I still dance to it sometimes.
When Ariel takes on his kitsune fox form, his fur is the same golden-white blonde as his hair, but the very tip of his tail and ears is pure white.

Ariel does indeed have some magical abilities! He has a spell book and a limited amount of spells that he has access to. Class-wise he's a Vigilante, which means he fights crime under a secret identity. He's a bit like Daredevil or Batman, but with a bit of magic thrown in.
Thank you for asking about him, you're very sweet!

He really reminds me of vampire Luis >< This bright and strong look, gentle and beautiful face, wonderful long blond hair and of course this outfit ... He could be a true idol of young women and I feel that he can soon make a real furror xD I'm very intrigued by the fox mask, I was immediately associated with Kitsune, both yako and zenko match Ariel's character

Oh!! Ariel will have to give you a kiss as a prize, because you correctly guessed his secret! He is indeed a kitsune disguised as a sun elf! But only his mother and father know. He has not yet told anyone else!
You sweet words about him make me so happy, thank you for always taking the time to look at my images and characters in such a thoughtful way! You are a very wonderful person!

Thank you so much, Jenn! I hadn't heard about A Court of Thorns and Roses, but I did an image search and I can definitely see a resemblance between Ariel and Lucien. I was really close to making Ariel a redhead when I first designed him, if I had they almost would be twins!

They would be! I absolutely loved Sarah J Maas’ first series “The Throne of Glass” was the first book and then I picked up the Court of Throne and roses. Not too into that one but I do have all the books, cause I bought them. Just haven’t been in the reading mood. I’m more into reading the Anita Blake Novels and the Dark Hunters series right now. More present day preternatural books

Ariel is so prince like he is captivating. His coloring is suiting him. It is intriguing that Ariel would chose the fox. The fox has long been considered as a witty, quick and intelligent creature. He is also known as the irreverent trickster to Native Americans. To the Celts he was known to move through the spiritual plane and the worldly plane with familiarity and ease. Makes me wonder if this is what he is hiding. Will be interesting to see. Kudos for such a gexy male.

Oooh, you're definitely on the right path, Donna! Part is Ariel's secret is indeed that he's much more intelligent and quick on his feet than people realize. He may not be a prince, but he comes from a rather rich family, so he dresses very finely and has a very cultured air about him.
Thank you so much for your nice comments!

Ariel is a devilishly handsome rogue like my Logan in Wolves. You can see it amuses Ariel to create this illusion. The more you tell me the more I believe him and Logan could be kin. I expect Ariel would say the same thing Logan does. Logan is proud of being a rambler, a rake, a thief, a slaver, a raider and pirate. Logan is most definitely a rogue as Ariel appears to be. But all that changed when he laid his eyes on Alana Belmonte. Brash 30 yr old Logan is brought to his knees by 17 year old Alana. She is a princess who's family was destroyed by a vicious king. Taken in sexual slavery she rose to get her revenge. Like the phoenix she has risen to a pinnacle of power. To help someone she calls Uncle Alana helps him regain his power and respect. To do so she must gain control of the mountains of Quasiland. Believe me she does that with a vengeance. She catches the raiders with their pants down in the brothels they frequent. Because she catches them dressed very scantily in red she becomes known ad the Red Lady of the Mountains, the Red Queen. With her feminine wiles and cunning she beats them all in combat. They definitely underestimated this slip of a girl. The last of these raiders to deal with is Logan. Logan is the last and fiercest of all. His lineage is questionable. He is of mixed descent making him an outcast in most of society. But Logan is smart. He tells the council of raiders, “My Fellow Thieves, Brothers, I have no need to fight the Red Queen. I know she can beat me. She has already proven how formable she is beating all of you. I think it’s wise to accept her offer and move on to a better day for all of us. There’s nothing to gain by fighting her to prove what? A stupid point of dominance. She provides protection, shelter and gives us more than our fair share of booty. I ask you what more can we ask for? I bow to the Red Mistress of the Mountains.” I imagine the cunning Ariel is the same way. One day he will meet his match and bow to her as Logan did to Alana. Right now Ariel is too full of himself and his secret he won't get caught that way. That would be an interesting scene to see. I totally adore him as I do the rest of your guys.
BTW I love his hair. I took another good look at him. I love the blend you have of blonde, gold, browns and reds. That is where him and Logan defer. Logan has long black hair and emerald green eyes. Many thanks for a wonderful male as Ariel.

Thanks so much. His hair is something. It will slide through your fingers like silk. Yes, they are very much alike in ways. Not sure if Ariel would like running around in the mountains butt naked as Logan does. Believe me at sea he's the same way. That's why he's so tan - all over. I'll have to draw him dressed sometime if I can get him to sit still long enough or keep his clothes on long enough. He clearly has no shame at all. I'm sure Ariel does.
Thanks for faving my guys.

I love the environment of this one. The background has interesting textures and lighting. While the figure stands out with the green coat and blonde hair. And his skin looks very realistic.
I think his eyes are a bit off. I’m not sure if he’s supposed to looking at us but if so maybe make the irses just a wee but further apart and looking up more since his head is tilted down. He seems to be looking at our torso area.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Tiny G! It's so nice and helpful for me to know the strengths and weaknesses about my images, that really helps me improve!
Oh my goodness, positioning the eyes remains one of the most difficult parts of art for me. I'll spend a couple of hours on an image. Then another hour perfecting just the expression. And then ANOTHER hour just messing with the eyes. I often end up just scolding the character in the image "Why won't you look at me?!" Having the eyes be potentially too low is a common mistake I make. Sometimes I wonder if it happens because I'm very short, so I naturally position eyes at a downward slope, since I'm used to everyone looking down when they speak to me.

You’re welcome! I do the same thing with drawing. Focusing on one part that I want to get right. Sometimes it’s just best to let it sit for a day or so then going back to see any possible mistakes. Or idk if you can in that program but flipping the canvas/ image. It definitely helps with drawing and figuring out proportions and poses.
