Some 2-3 weeks ago I started playing God of War 2 again and my muse suddenly got an idea of making a satyr-elf. (Not sure why, the satyrs in GoW2 are freakishly annoying enemies.)
Berit's bear-elf Cade, further inspired my muse and this is what I got out off it.
You'll have to excuse how freaking bad the anatomy is. I hardly draw full bodies. (But I've been working on it.
)
This guy was very odd to draw. His face was the thing that gave me the most trouble. Not the legs.
Yes.
(Blinks and sits in silence for a second)
And to me it makes absolutely no sense.
Besides having trouble with the face, I've also been utterly unable to:
1(Figure out a name for him.
2(Figure out who his Timeless (my elftribe) parent is.
I started out with him just being a 'Timmorn' done with goats.
But I somewhere along the line changed my mind because it dawned on me I don't have a female who both have the ability to shapechange and have an desire to go jump a goat.
So he's a second generation. And I leaning towards the Timeless parent being male.
Anyway, my nameless hybrid sitting on cliffs, looking sorta scared.
Reason? The Palace with the Wolfriders in it has likely just showed up and he's likely pretty scared of Wolfriders.
The thing on his shoulder is a redesign of the Timeless insignia.
If anybody has any name suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em.

Seriously, this is the most awesome drawing of yours. The horns are magnificent. Just freaking love the shape, the way it looks, and especially the decoration of it. His hair being halfway long, nor entirely short but not long. Especially empathized at it being longer at one side. His sleeves is another great thing. You rarely see someone in bare chest. And nice decorative ropes. Personally i would imagine what was under his chest to be the hardest thing. Here his eyes shine through. You keep getting better at backgrounds, which is lovely.
And it would be natural for him to be scared of the Wolfriders, if he is raised by the Timeless. He must think they're out to hunt him. |

As for names, I've named him Ahnek in my mind.

Wow, thank you so much.
I'm very happy to hear that!I couldn't think up any chest coverings that would look good on him. So he ended up with those ropes and those sleeves. (Which I loooooove) |

for a name, I'd say Urek or Unthanos... or those pop in mind when I look at him!... and as for the art, I really like your grayscale art, somehow, you make it look wonderful! I really like those thingies hanging from his horn! Nice, strong lineart, and soft colors... a good combination!...

It actually surprises me to hear that.
How would you pronounce Unthanos? |

I think he looks pretty cool and somehow I think his horns are hot!

You're not alone on that. A friend of mine kinda went 'SQUEEE' when I said he would indeed have horns. XD

Well, I don't really know what language you speak, but if you have ever heard " Thanatos" pronounced, The Thanos would sound similar...and the Un might be similarly pronounced as Un in "Undergroung"...

I think he's fairly taller then a Wolfrider. (Never been good with heights.) Strongbow would likely reach up to his chest. |

Thanks Comet! Honestly, if my cliffs look good it's because my muse has serious crush on rocks/cliffs and the like. |

Good news: He's finally been named. It's a mix between Startear's ''Ahnek'' and Berit's Thanatos/Unthanos. Tananek. (I pronounce 'nek' as 'niik'when it comes to his name) XD

This is just so cool and so unique and so original. I love seeing an elf hybridized with something other than wolf or big cat. Hoofed elf =
