Just lovely!  He brims with personality!  LOVE that raised eyebrow.

You do a wonderful job of combining this realistic style, with the hallmarks of EQ style.  I've sometimes felt dubious about that kind of experiment, feeling that attempts to create too "realistic" an EQ elf would wind up in Uncanny Valley territory.  Your portraits really prove that fear wrong.  This really hits the right balance between "definitely an EQ elf and not a human being" and "believable".

Oh, thank you so much! I really like doing these, but they´re a lot of work and also require a matching face model for reference, so a lot of tiring research is needed.
This is the one I used here: http://starcastinguk.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/chris-holbrook-9.jpg
It´s quite fun to 'alienize' human faces like this. x3

You've managed to fill this with personality! I also find your way of doing "realistic" Elves very fascinating! and always nice to see a characters with sideburns...
