Okay, I guess I should explain this piece, after all, it's got eleven characters in it!
Okay, I was bored one day and decided to draw a bunch of characters in a group photo, but I couldn't decide how to have them all (I have way too much time). Anyway, I decided that I would do a picture of me with a bunch of elves and an elry (elry - half elf/half faery).
Left to right:
Night (a night elf, Starshine's boyfriend), Moonbeam (a faery, Morgan's cousin [she's using special magic to make herself taller or else she'd be the same height as Morgan]), Esmeralda (an elf, Chris' twin sister and Morgan's girlfriend), Christopher (an elf, Esmeralda's twin brother, Lunemia's boyfriend), me, Morgan (an elry, Esmeralda's boyfriend), Atheris (a royal elf, Morgan's best friend [and mine]), Adric (an elf, Lemende's boyfriend), Lemende (an elf, Adric's boyfriend), Starshine (a night elf, Night's girlfriend), and Lunemia (a night elf, Chris' girlfriend).
In case you're wondering why for Adric and Lemende I have boyfriend for both of them, it's because they're homosexual. Don't mock me or them! It's my imagination so deal with it!
These are most of my trademark characters, and as you can see, they're quite colourful. I wanted Adric to look like he had some Spanish descent, but I'm not sure if I acheived that or not. Esmeralda's face was difficult to draw because she's so far away - starting to wish I'd done her at an angle *sigh*. I took out most of Atheris' earrings because that would take an extra half hour.
Time to Create: 3 days (drawing), 6 - 8.5 hours (colouring)
