Elven Respite

Damian

Elven Respite

The dark elf rested on the rock face, taking the moment to wipe the last trace of blood from her blade. The dull light made her eyes ache, and she wished again that she was miles underground…

Thanks to Kym Breeze for being an awesome sport and coming out with me for the day for a fantasy-themed photo session! She was a great model, not too demanding LOL!

    Fantastic shot: I love the intensity in her expression as well as the lighting. It’s so hard to get what you want in an outdoor shoot!

    Thanks Darwins, Kym’s got some great expressions :)
    I think we were lucky with the day today, as it was uniformly cloudy, so made for nice even light.

    WoW! She looks awesome, the way her eyes glow from under her hood. Love her sword and black velvet cape. But she looks more like a moon elf than a dark one. D&D terms, anyways.
