Description
Some here you might recognize, some you won't, from among my figments. Left to right: Ian Stewart, Morgan McTiernan, Ariolas Maharasen, Carol MacAlister, and Cameron "Mac" MacAlister. These are all the adult members left of the Elvish Maharasen clan.
Ariolas is one of the Greater Fae, a full-blooded "high" Elf (well, the term "high" is relative). He's the last Elvish sword-bearer, Master of Wisdom--Wisdom being his sword; a master swordsmith; and a wizard, the founder of the Sophic school. He's...really old, and quite a scamp. He has only two half-Elven sons surviving, by different mothers; Ian's mother is deceased. Carol is Mac's daughter (one of two), and herself a mage of the Sophic school. Morgan, on the other hand, is Alex's brother-in-law, and father of four small ones.
Mac and Morgan had no idea who their father was until the rascally old Elf returned from Elsewhere a year or three ago, brought home at last by his First, Taeiv, also a wizard (but not Elvish and not pictured).
These aren't your RPG Elves...and Mac, who grew up as human, is just not real sure that he's down with all this, even if he *does* know Carol's a wizard. He does have pointed ears, but he's hiding them with a glamour.
It's Yule, and they're having a rather uneasy reunion at the moment. Ah well, 'tis the season to be tense. I do believe Carol will get up and swat them all if they don't behave. Ian is thinking he desperately needs a beer or three.
May your Yule be easy and bright, and all your Elves well-behaved! ^_^
Production notes: M4 Ehanced for all the boys; ID Kitt, Jeremy Elite, and a couple of othe skins I can't recall, but they were actually made for F4. Carol is V4, with Elite Lana skin. Set is Mage Tower (DAZ) decorated with fun stuff from DM sets and LukeA sets. Hair and a little extra sparkle added in post. Do no feed after midnight. Your mileage may vary. Merry Christmas!

Quote: "...he desperately needs a beer or three" --> this will be me tonight... he e we celebrate on the evening of the 24th and with two children I am happy when they are in bed... laughs Merry christmas, talk to you next year I guess (will be away for a few days, love all this blonde hair here... Looking at them and then at my own hair, I could be related to them, my ears are sort of pointy as well for a human (hm, could be all the steel which destroyed the natural shape maybe? hehehe...) Bla bla bla, take care hun! Hugs!
Very nice scene Great post work!

Fantastic. I really enjoy your hair painting. I'm going to have to try to study your tutorial! :P Merry Christmas.
Really like the scene you’ve set up but LOVE the hair, very natural.
Wonderful scene! They all look gorgeous, the girl included and it's a festival of amazing hair lol
Love all of the detail and as mentioned before the hair is just wow...wonderful piece.
Wow-SO not Rivendel! A new hottie-toddie, that Morgan is a hunk-a himself! XD! Fantastic image, and I love the intimacy that you have such a talent to display in this. I won't have to mention the painting ability-that's a given. Great comp, lighting, and all. Think it's time for me to curl into a ball and die-or try. chuckle Love the flu. Happy End of the Year with your Lovely!
wonderfully set-up scene, superb. I envie them for their hair ;) and it's so delightful to look at these gorgeous guys! maybe I saw Ian on some metal event? and there he had a beer :))
Awesome render
Gah...so much GORGEOUS hair in this one!! Yes, Rivendell would have ebony haired elves, which I'm sure you'd do their hair justice, but the blonde hair is mind-blowing!! If I was there my fingers would certain be busy carding through hair, LOL. Another stunning piece!
