Description

This is an updated version of my original character Ann J'Well

This is also my first major project for myself, since I finished my last two Revan pics last year.


You can see the evolution of my character in the thumbnail at the top. She's either an elf or elven type race. Haven't really decided what her species is exactly. If she's immortal, long-lived, has magical powers. I actually did write a prologue to her story about fifteen years ago (on my old word processor at the time, which I no longer have ;p ) of a widower finding her washed up on the shore to a small village. She has no memory of who she is or where she comes from and he takes her in and his family (haven't decided how many kids he has and how old they are) kind of adopts her. She does of course have mad fighting skills, particularly with a sword.

In the land or nation this story is set there was a great war about ten years ago, and the man (who probably lost his wife in the war) does have some battered armor and weapons, most of which belonged to his wife who was a soldier (I'm thinking he was a healer during the war). So as Ann J'Well discovers her skills she starts using some of those weapons. During future adventures I'm sure she'll acquire, if not forge, better weapons ;)

I used to draw her wearing a headband as a way of hiding her ears, and her racial difference from people, but now that I've given her much longer ears I'm going to have to rethink that.

I rented "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" last month when it came out on DVD and a couple of days later I drew the sketch for this pic. I was actually thinking of Alexandra Daddario, who played Annabeth in the movie, when I was updating my character. Particularly for her large eyes and long dark hair [link]

I haven't really thought of this character in awhile, not since finding all these old sketches of her serveral weeks ago. So I've been thinking alot about story ideas for her. This is also the first time I've seen her in color :D


***Edit*** August 5, 2010

Finished!!! I may be a little too pleased with how this came out ;) I decided to keep the background a simple (also lazy ;p ) landscape. I got a little impatient to get this finished.
