When I first got into Japanese animation back in high school,
one of the series I fell immediately in love with
was Record Of Lodoss War.
I think for it's time, the character designs
were some of the best, and I credit Nobuteru Yuuki
the OVA's character designer and animation director,
for being one of my biggest artistic influences early on.
One of my favourite fantasy drawings
is his 'Sleeping Elf' masterpiece, which you've probably seen
in Lodoss artbooks or fansite galleries across the net,
where Deedlit is lying beautifully atop a bed of stuffed pillows.
I've always wanted to create an original continuation of that scene,
but because I had moved away from pencil work at that time,
everything had to be done in vector.
I think without having a rough sketch to build off of,
slightly hurt the potential of this piece :(
Looking back, I definitely see mistakes in my drawing,
but Deedlit is a character who's beauty, is very difficult to replicate.
I hope you've enjoyed this video.
