Dark Elf

imagined by: James Mathias

A head shot sketch of a character I was working on for a comic strip guest artist spot for a friend (you know who you are, Roger).

I like the way this was coming, but I’m not sure why I stopped and never completed this.

hb pencil on acid-free archival paper.

Enjoy.

Lol… I’d given up waiting on that strip. No offence of course, I know you were busy. I’d have kept the gaming site going had I been able to make a better go of my own illustrations for some strips, but I just didn’t have the talent. So I went back to my roots and am writing instead. Suits me better.

Very cool illustration, James.

I know, I suppose we’re just not meant to team up on anything…

That’s the breaks I guess, the way the cookie crumbles, the love of it all.

I’ve always been evnvious of your drawing talent. I’ve said before that I think you’ve taken most of the genetic art talent and that’s why you can draw so well, it’s amazing to watch you draw. Then Maggi got just enough to be able to draw things that look like what they’re supposed to be. However, there was none left for me and therefore, my art still looks like a kindergartner drew it! Heck, your oldest son draws better then I do! But despite that, I think you’re a brilliant artist and I love all these flashback peices.

Thanks Sarah, but, we’re all creative is some way or another, the three of us. I didn’t get all the talents, just the most important and cool ones smile

Kidding of course. I think you are just as talented at making jewlery as I am at drawing or web design. It’s just a different creative outlet, for the same amount of talent.
