Description
Colored finally this horrible thing, since for some incomprehensible reason a few folks wanted to see him as such, even if it wasn't included in the original job description.No peeking under the loincloth. Poor guy already got his fig-leaf stolen too many times when he was once wearing one.

Lord Khran-Av'ees belongs to me.

Still looks cleaner than I expected, but I have to admit I think this is much closer to the described. Guess I just stumbled over your older stuff while reading. LOL.

Heavily scrubbed for this one special occasion, as this was a commission to a, erm, fangirl. XD
I still can't fathom how this character can have actual fanboys/girls. I mean, he's supposed to be repulsive. Not bishietastic or sparkly or lovale or anything.

I find him endearing just because he's so...interesting. I mean a warrior elf who puts Gangus Kahn to shame. You have to appreciate a character like that, and that's what you were going for, right?

Well... I must admit that he's currently my favorite creation, and I'm at least attempting to make him 'interesting' under all the dirt and brutality and bad habits. So perhaps I have to take back a part of the previous statement.

Hoping to get the next few chapters back to you soon. 
When/where does your first book end? (how many chapters) and are you going to try and publish it here in America and in England?
π: 0 β©: 1
There are 19 chapters. It's fairly difficult for a "foreigner" to get an American publisher, so I'm trying other methods like print-on-demand and ebook format. I'm not expecting any huge success; the most important thing right now is to push it out, so I can concentrate on the second volume.
The first book ends with Hiid having been released from the prison, and the second takes place some 4 years later. I remember you noticed those drawings where she's stouter. Well, the new world has offered some tasty food rich in energy besides physical, old-fashioned labor.

Ah, I see.
Dang, you should totally be able to get published here. That totally stinks.
Do you think it might be easier to get an English (British) publisher?

I'd say the main problem is that the story started as an online novel and still lurks the odd corners of bitspace. Publishers unfortunately aren't keen on pre-published material.
By the way, how are you doing with the chapters? Haven't heard from you in a while.

Well, I moved, I started a new job, had to work with/in an anime con that I've been planning and committed to for almost a year, my friend stayed at my place while we prepared for our other friend to get married (we were both bridesmaids and had to make our own dresses)...I've been busy. 
Sorry it's taken so long.

OK, I've resisted reading the novel because most dark lords (and, well, any other character I like) end up brutally killed in a nasty manner, but I'll just trust in the humor of it and go for it. Besides, if he did get killed, he could always come back as a lecherous ghost, right?

Eh, the novel's under editing for readability, grammar, and integrity right now, so anything I have up on the net is to be read at one's own risk only.
The heroes and villains of this story aren't exactly straightforward, as there's a lot of gray in-between and even the main character Hiid is a borderline anti-hero. Maybe it's better that I'm not telling beforehand who's going to die and who isn't, as even I haven't yet fully decided that. XD They have an underworld in this universe, though, and for instance Lhietd to whom you refer has been dead for about 700000 years. He however has a high place in the court of the Underworld Lord and is known to wander around according to his own head, not much caring about the Rules.
Yup, and it's humor/parody for the most part.

What...is that thing?! Beides a Belgian-Blue, that is! XD
I love your style! You're SO watched!

Thanks. XD Lord Khran-Av'ees is a Rha-kan'Ockian elf, a half-crazy dark lord, although he's doing some fanservice here. XD The race is loosely based on Finnish mythology, where an elf doesn't need to be all pretty and Tolkien-ish and furthermore is sometimes synonymous with 'giant'. So now we have... ΓΌber-hairy, blue-skinned monster-elves with an average height of 7 feet. Khran's around 8.
I guess you already found the novel too. XD I'm starting to look into a publishing plan, but the first book needs a bit of editing first.

Well, what ever he is, he is marvelously drawn! And imagined!
I'll keep an eye out for your published work!

Ooooh, the jewels and goblet and the ... chest hair... look almost real! Nice job! I like the way you've done the satin and stonework too.

Gosh what an amazing anatomy,coloring... well evrything is amazing! Really cool character!
π: 0 β©: 1
...if he had any more muscles...You're so awesome at drawing anatomy.

...he'd need to be taller. I'm not going to make him bigger than this, though, he's quite massive enough as-is. XDD

I'm glad you decided to color this. Your work is gorgeous and stunning as usual and he's quite impressive in all his glory.

I'm afraid I didn't get that one. XD
I don't know any other Baras but Theda Bara the actress, and that the word bara means 'only' in Swedish.
π: 0 β©: 1
wheee~ I'll have to remember that XD
bara is also a slang term for muscular mens~

Great job on the muscles once again, though I honestly wouldn't be able to tell if there was anything wrong XD Do you use references, or know the human body by heart by now?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks.
I use self-photographed refs (I thought everyone knew this by now, but ah well), mirror, and a few math tricks to draw these; they've been and are the only ways I've come to understand the human body (I hardly know it by heart, though, I just practiced back muscles with my latest Clockwork piece XD). I usually need an approximate ref just for the pose; muscles and clothes are not that difficult to add on top when I get the 'skeleton structure' and foreshortenings right. Buildings and whatnot I can whip entirely out of my head; it's actually pretty mechanical when you first draw the perspective lines and apply some maths there.

there is something just so delightful about your overmuscled elves. <3
