Description Well, been a slow and down coupla weeks, so really after designing blueprints to a starship, I started drawing something I really Felt like drawing.

Aether Seax is an ooold character of mine, used for an Eragon/Dragoon spin-off RP, and my first successful Dungeons and Dragons character. He's a half-elf, born from a Noble heritage on both sides, yet cast out (with vague recollections of his past to boot) as a religious repentance for an unknown crime. As part of his punishment, his sight was taken from him. Yet, for his disability, he does astoundingly well as a vagrant and a swordsman with incredible agility and perception, as sharp and as free as wind (which is also his primary magic ability). He may be a bit of a flirt, and a drunkard, but he's a man to uphold justice and virtue at the cost of his life; He believed himself to be a Knight once, and holds himself to their creeds. Aloof most of the time, Aether's primary trait and virtue was, is, and will be Freedom. He personified this, and was a real joy to play such a character as he was.

I missed this character so much, I had to draw him. He was a great character in the Eragon/Dragoon game, and in D&D. This is kind of a merger between the two versions; Blind, yet with his D&D equipment. A sapphire ring that belonged to a powerful elven family, embued with the power of the moon (which needed quite a lengthy quest). His sword too was incredible; a rapier that had a bonus to criticals, and Thunderstrike upon a critical. He could blind/deaf enemies almost every other turn. Unfortunately, I made his story a little too interresting. He was given the flaws Blindness and Dark Fate (and boy, what a fate he had), yet it was countered by Incredible dexterity, could walk a tightrope with ease, and swiftly run up or along walls. His wind-magic allowed him bonuses as well towards perceiving the area around him, so even if he was blind, he could function almost as normally as one with vision.

Ah yes, I missed him, and it's good to finally see him in color! Next time if I ever do another Fantasy RP, I'm using him again. ^^

Interesting fellow.
He got blinded but can "see" by using wind-magic? How do I have to imagine this, like sonar of a dolphin? Well whatever he seems to be a good guy. But he fits better in the WoH universe. I like his smirk, he sure does look like the type of lays his hand on the butt of a lady for greeting and such....lol.

One or more girls at one or more bars. ;D Hahah. Yeah, his vision is a lot like sonar! He's got great balance too just in case, like an acrobat.

I think all the texture really makes this pic, if not that then it adds to it greatly. The guy's pose is fun and loose although it looks like he could spring into action at any moment.

The words really add to the feeling of the over all pic as well.

Well done!
