Description Edit: I FINALLY fixed the stupid butterfly. I colored it back when I had only ms paint and it's pixely, sharp horror has haunted me since. It's still not perfect, but it's a major improvement.


Haven’t drawn anything good in a while, so to make up for the lack of new arts, here’s a really really old art I finally inked and colored in.

A close up of Lejandro AKA Leif, one of the few elves to make it to the 21st century. Half human and half elf, Leif’s abnormal blood left him susceptible to strange diseases—ones that affected him in even stranger ways. Over hundreds of years, his veins have turned to vines and continue to overtake his body. One day, he'll root down and become more tree than person. Living in underground tunnels slows down the tree process, but somehow, the butterflies keep finding him.

Leif is part of my original Night Child Universe. To learn more about Night Child, follow the link in the folder!

Beautiful and touching drawing. Also, I've always liked the idea of an immortal high-fantasy Elf trying to make it in the modern world.

He sounds like such an au'some character! So if he's in love, does he bloom flowers?

Slave2Karma In reply to Savinee [2012-07-07 03:59:35 +0000 UTC]

No, but that would be frigin ADORABLE! Although the branches on his back (seen here: [link] ) do go into full bloom during the spring/summer if he gets enough light. He's liable for massive swarms of butterflies during that time, for some reason they adore him.

At least smooth out his edges.

Andecaya In reply to Slave2Karma [2011-02-09 21:30:53 +0000 UTC]

I like that the butterfly is sharper than the rest. It gives the feeling of a camera having the focus on the butterfly. But I understand now what you want to do. I would keep the picture like it is, but you are right, if you want to smooth out the edges you should do it. Most people would do this, too. So it is the better version with smooth edges

I drew the butterfly by hand and then colored it in Paint, but I also outlined it--it came out looking a little sharp to me.
