Description

Name: Silver Feather (as translated into human speech)
Species: Harpy Elf
Age: young, for an elf
Sex: female
Profession: apprentice warrior for the royal court

Silver Feather's sword slicing through the air sounds like a whistle, say the few who have heard it and lived to tell the tale. She flies fast, and she moves like lightning when she fights, but there are those among the master warriors who worry that this young apprentice is far too reckless to ever rise in the ranks.

A word about harpy elves:
They are some of the most feral of the forest-dwelling elves, in that they embrace their wild nature and shapeshift into birds of prey. While in this state, however, their wild side threatens to consume them, and if they lose control, they may be forever transformed into terrifying beasts -- harpies, half-elf and half-bird, trapped in between states and driven to violent madness.

I modeled Silver Feather's attire after a harpy eagle. Enjoy!

Character design for a contest: fav.me/d739lfj -- this one has been buzzing around in my head for a while, and seemed a perfect fit for the contest, so a great excuse to flesh her out :)
fav.me/d2nz0nu << this stock by CathleenTarawhiti inspired the pose
There is a bit of a glare in this photo of the piece, and you can't see the metallic parts of course (silver & gold accents, from metallic sharpies).
Acrylic, sharpie, & colored pencil on nice thick art paper of some sort (the backside of another piece).
