Darron and Maelog - Tridea

These are original characters from the book series I'm planning to write with my co-author: *OrchydConstyne

Maelog is on the bottom left, and Darron is on the upper right.

Maelog is an Elf from the House of Fire. His hair is a fiery maroon colour, and his eyes are a bright, flaming orange. I used Taylor Darnell ~PaleRonin as a model for the character. (The stock photo by ~LinzStock is here --> [link] )

Darron is an Elf from the House of Clouds. His hair is a bluish-silver, and his eyes are pale lavender. Though the Cloud Elves typically have dark, tanned skin, Darron is unusually pale for his House, just lightly tanned. I based him loosely on actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.

I hope everyone enjoys this! I kept the colour of the picture burnt because it seemed to look more artistic and keep the shadowing better than having it white. Crappy digital camera never takes good pictures of my drawings that are too big to scan.

Blurb:

As a Dragonlord, Maelog is one of the House of Fire's prized warriors. Captured by the House of Wood and sent to face his death in Spinner's Forest, he is accompanied by Darron, a bard from the pacifistic House of Clouds.

Exiled by his own people for his habit of involving himself in the strife of the other Houses, Darron steps in to bargain with the powerful Spiders for Maelog's life.

For millennia, the Spiders have valued Darron's music above all else... But will Maelog's musical skill be enough to pacify the Queen Widow, or will both Maelog and Darron lose their freedom and their lives with a single wrong note?
