He who hunts

Description

April 2013

~ In the times of old, when not only the blade was a work of art.~

It was about time this one earned his face, and it was good practice to add subtle yet intricate detail to the handle and make the design of this weapon. It is an elf standing about, with a sabre in hand that he can use as well for battle as he can to navigate through the woods or prepare his meal. Its many uses do not mean it must be rough and uninteresting however. The small detail in his hair is the sort of braid/tuft of bound hair, that among other things holds also a feather quil. One never knows when the need for writing comes!

This is great! I can't believe no one has commented on this yet. oO
His face is so delicate and beautiful, he wouldn't even need the pointy ears to have "elf" written in bold capitals on his forehead. :) Same goes for the body - the well-honed muscles of a fighter and a hunter, yet you can see he's agile and lithe like someone relying more on speed than pure strength.
He looks very young, but someting about his eyes and his posture exudes experience, and confidence in his skills.
And then there is of course the beautiful design and detail of his weapon/ elvish swiss-knife, as well as on his belt and pants, to complete the picture.
I cannot not love this, which is why this is probably the longest comment I have written for any artwork on DA so far. :)
