Description
The majority of Faerun's sun elves live on Evermeet,having abandoned what remained of their ancient realms during the centuries following the falls of Illefarn and Cormanthyr. They are only now returning to the mainland to reestablish their presence there. The sun elves are famed for their command of both arcane and divine magic,which exceeds that of any other living race. Works of elven high magic thousands of years old still survive in the hidden refuges of sun elves.
Sun elves have bronze skin, hair of golden blond, copper or black, and eyes of green or gold. They favor contemplation, lore, and study over the quick games and light-hearted songs of other elves, but seem to embody the unearthly beauty, grace, and presence of the elven folk.
This is the first of a few that I have done to let everyone see about what the D&D Forgotten Realms version of the elves look like. Nothing special for them yet just a look. Start with the Sun or Gold Elf, then the Moon or Silver elf, Wood or Copper elf, Wild or Green elf, Drow or Dark elf, Half-elf, Half-drow, Avariel or Winged elf, and Aquatic elf. As you see them and you have any ideas for a setting for them let me know.

Wonderful elf!
Her face is incredible! The hair is not quite up to par with the face (all the usual trans-mapped hair issues). If you are using P5 or P6, make sure that smooth polygons is turned on, that might help a little. All your posts I have had the pleasure to view have had large eyes, it would be very interesting to see a version where the eye size is not exaggerated. I bet you could do one where the eyes would not be the fantasy-elf give-away. But please don't stop on the series as-is! Excellent work!!!!!
Superb! Wonderful portrait and it's great to read about Evermeet! Thanks! :)
