Description

"The Drow, or "Dark Elves" were originally surface dwellers. After a series of cataclysmic magic wars, they were driven beneath the surface to what was to become known as the "Underdark". The warlike drow nature did not change when they escaped their surface foes during The Descent. In fact, they immediately launched a series of wars to establish territories. They began by stealing and seizing dwarven magical items, and using them against the dwarves - establishing an enmity that is still strong today. Followers of the Spider Queen Lolth, the dark elves of Ilythiir gained a new name of "dhaeraow" from an ancient elven language Tethir, meaning "face of shadow, heart of night, traitor". Over the long ages that followed the term "dhaeraow" became corrupted to Drow, the name given to the Dark Elves today." Poser, Maya, Photoshop.

Absolutely fantastic and so very powerful. Those eyes are compelling and I love the contrast of his white hair and beard against the darker tones of his face. Excellent work!...Cheryl

The lighting is excellent, that texture is excellent, and I love Drows! I read the Daughter of the Drow by Elaine Cunningham (and its following books) this summer and I loved them! Great picture.

Thanks for the history lesson, too. I have been wondering what a "drow" is and now I'm informed. Great image.
