(From the god of war ask) Sorry for not explaining! God of War is a video game series and the last two games have had dark elves with very insect-inspired designs, they even have bug wings.

ah i see! no apologies needed, i looked it up now that i’m not falling asleep πŸ˜‚

re: your previous question, my thoughts are as follows: a) beautiful design, very scary and i love the wings and the horns and the cute bug feet, b) i think i need to clarify that when i say that i love dark elves (specifically the Kryn drow) being bug fairies i mean less them being insectoid in their anatomy and more insect-coded aesthetics-wise πŸ˜‚ i know Matt described Kryn fashion as rather geometric in its design, but i latched onto the bug armor description the moment it was described as such, which was waaaay before tm9 came to the Dynasty and saw how people dressed there, so my brain is just filled with Kryn elves dressed in stuff inspired by, like, plants and mushrooms and lichen and bugs and stuff. rainbow beetle armor all the way, weird organic-looking architecture and furniture.

i would actually love to make cr elves more creaturely in my drawings, especially because it’s been driving me insane that Mr Matthew Mercer keeps saying stuff like you can tell that a humanoid is an elf by their skull or footprints alone, and elves have such distinct facial features that you do not need to see their pointy ears in order to identify them as elves, so much so that you don’t go ‘oh that’s just a delicate-looking twinky human’, you go 'ye that’s an elf’ ‼️ WHAT DO ELVES LOOK LIKE IN THE EXANDRIAN UNIVERSE, I NEED TO KNOW. do they have four toes on each foot and eyes on the sides of their heads like prey animals. anyway, i don’t make them creaturely in my drawings because i haven’t been able to come up with a design that looks good. i’ve tried a LOT. a lot of failed sketches.

sorry for rambling. god of war dark elves good
