Snow Elf - Blog Posts
Atre for @wrong-mother <3
It seems I'm feeling a little better in some way? At least I feel a little more productive. A couple more commissions to finish and I'll open up new slots. I don't know what exactly got me so down that I stretched this out over several months, worsening depression or physical illnesses, or both, but I hope it won't happen again ughhh
My take on elves and their different types (+ a bunch of OCs of mine I designed yesterday, one of each type of elf) Light elves have 2 types: high elf (non-dark magic) and sun elf (light/sun magic + healing magic). Dark elves have 2 types: drow (dark/cursed/evil magic) and moon elf (darkness/night/dream/nightmare magic). Winter elves have 2 types: snow elf (winter/frost/cold magic) and Christmas elf (holiday magic). Christmas elves' blood is red until it touches the air, in which it turns green. Also, Christmas elves, unlike snow elves, can withstand extreme heat alongside extreme cold, since southern hemisphere gets Christmas during their summers. Then there's Cosmic elves (space/stardust/galactic magic) and Wood elves (nature magic), the only two types of elf that don't fit neatly into a category. Cosmic elves have pearlescent blood. Not sure if I colored it in well enough, so that's why I'm mentioning it here. Lol. The skin tones also can vary for each elf; I unfortunately didn't make a skin tone chart, but it's in my head. I do like the idea that elves can be any color on the rainbow, but certain colors being locked or more common with certain types of elf.
OC art I did!! The besties are dancing together!! Ballet!!! The snow elf is Roshia, and the vampire doing the splits is Ximena!
They're the bestest of besties!!!!! (Roshia was designed by my good friend Angelic Pudding, and I designed Ximena)
