a digital hips-up painting of an elf. he is slender, with a hint of muscle on his forearms, and has medium brown freckled skin and long bright ginger box braids pulled back and out of his face into a haphazard half-bun half-down hairstyle. he is wearing a gray shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a delicate embroidered white silk undershirt visible where the gray shirt is open at the top, and a leather apron. perched on top of his head are magnification glasses with brass-colored metal frames and side shields; there is a silver ring with a black gemstone on his right hand and a few simple bracelets on his left wrist. he is looking wistfully off screen, and in his hands he is holding a small iridescent porcelain cup, with a cinnamon stick poking out of it and light golden tea visible inside.ALT

commission for @elle-thereafter, an original character named Perran from her CR fanfic Gate Building: See also, Bargaining with Archfey, Complications of! El wanted to know what her character would look like if put on canvas, and helping people visualize their lovely brainchildren is one of my most favorite things, so i was very happy to work on this portrait. thank you for commissioning me! 💜
