Here's Demian, a fire mage. He's a character from Eskariel's book, which is almost finished (900 pages for now). You may see some info about it here: saria-delaney.com/ (site is under construction)

  Also here's a little more about char:

"Die Schwachen mussten den Starken weichen. Eine bittere Wahrheit, welche gleichzeitig das Ausmaß des Menschen Scheinheiligkeit offenbarte, denn ohne ihre niedersten Verlangen wären sie durchaus dazu imstande, ein Leben voller Wohlgefallen zu führen, verschont von jedweder Pein. So hohl deren Herzen auch sein mochten, die Leere in ihren Häuptern schien unermesslicher, weshalb sie häufig von sich selbst zugrunde gerichtet wurden und an ihren eigenen Schwächen scheiterten. Doch letzten Endes thronte über all ihren Untugenden eine weitaus verheerendere Emotion – jene unstillbare Gier, die wie ein archaisches, unzerstörbares Geschwür in ihnen heranwuchs und sich durch die Kinder und Kindeskinder fraß. Mit duldsamer Machtlosigkeit ließen sie es gewähren, sodass es sich lechzend auch an die kommenden Generationen gütlich tun würde. Dabei blieb dieses erbärmliche Bedürfnis, das in den Leibern der Nachfahren pulsierte und wucherte, nicht gänzlich unbezwingbar, wenngleich Demian wusste, wie viel Energie der Widerstand
seinem Anwender abverlangte. Immerhin war er selbst menschlich, ein Umstand, den er stets absichtlich zu übersehen gedachte. Nein. Der Kommandant war nicht wie sie, nicht von den Verlockungen dieser Welt bezirzt und beileibe nicht bestechlich gemacht durch Nichtigkeiten, die unschätzbar wertvoll in den Augen ihres Versuchers waren. Dennoch konnte er nicht den Umstand verleugnen mit welch einer Grausamkeit er vorzugehen wusste, wenn Schergen oder anderes Gesindel seinen Pfad kreuzten. Dass Demian über sie gewaltsam richtete, machte ihn gewiss nicht zu etwas Besserem, wenngleich es ihm einerlei war, was jene Toten nun dachten. Niemand hatte sie dazu gezwungen, einen Weg zu bestreiten, der sich entschieden von seinem eigenen abgrenzte. Wer sonst sollte die Schwachen denn rächen? Sobald er ein Übel erkannte, musste der Mensch doch seinen Mitmenschen beistehen, folglich würde er seine Gegner bis auf die Knochen verbrennen." (C) Eskariel

"The weak would perish against the strong. A bitter truth that simultaneously exposed the extent of human hypocrisy, for the reason that without their menial desires they would undoubtedly be able to live a life in complacence and the absence of anguish. Even though their hearts were hollow, the emptiness within their minds seemed even greater, one of many reasons why they belied their nature and failed while facing their own weaknesses. In the end there was but one emotion that towered over every other motion, though, the most devastating of them all - this insatiable greed, which grew within them, eating its way through their children and grandchildren, like an ancient, indestructible canker. They granted it permission with a forbearing impotency, until it could refresh itself through the next generations willingly. Still, there was a way to defeat this petty urge, that pulsated and prodded in the veins of their descendants, although Demian knew how much energy it would cost to invoke such a resistance. He himself was human after all, albeit he rather chose to forget this rather hideous reality. No. The commander was not like them, not bewitched by the allurements of this world and most certainly not corrupted by the vanity of tempters. Still, he could not deny the fact that he was known for his cruelty against henchmen and rabble, as soon as their paths crossed. Undeterred by his own violence, Demian knew that he was not better than those he judged, even though he did not care about the last thoughts of his victims. No one forced them to chose a path that differed so greatly from his own. Who else would avenge the weak? As soon as he saw something unjust, he simply had to defend his fellow humans, after all. Therefore, he would let this scum burn until the white of their bones would be left visible for everyone else to see." (C) Eskariel

Gorgeous work. He reminds me blood elves from World of Warcraft somehow. It's probably because of the colours of the robe and his specific smile . I also love the way you made the fire spell. Such a beautiful dude .
