Well-known elves?

Okay so I had no idea I would run out of elves to draw! I'm keeping myself to one character per franchise. So my question is, what are some other known elf female characters in games/cartoons? Halp!

Also, Lord of the Rings doesn't feel right since I'm not comfortable adapting a real person to my style hehe.

Also would like to throw out Hannah from "Rat Queens," although that's a print comic. I believe she's fairly well known, at least among the comic set. You're also more than welcome to do another Rowan; you won't hear me complaining. :)

I thought about her, though pushing the definition of 'elf' there. ;)

Marcille from "Delicious in Dungeon" is a good choice that I haven't seen suggested yet.

She is a cutie.

Maybe doesn't qualify as well known, but one that comes to mind is the series Ys. One game was Ark of Napishtim, had an elf and her little sister on the front. <a href="https://megagames.com/sites/default/files/game-content-images/Ys-VI-The-Ark-of-Napishtim.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://megagames.com/sites/default/files/game-content-images/Ys-VI-The-Ark-of-Napishtim.jpg</a>

Oooh Emilia is a good one! I love her design <3

Janna from League of Legends is an option, depending on how strict a definition of "elf" you're using.

Just remembered another two: Tuka Luna Marceau from the Gate anime/manga series and Lafiel from the crest (and banner) of the Stars series

The elves from the dragon age franchise are really great.

Have you ever drawn Deedlit or Pirotess from Record of Lodoss War?

MLeth · March 16, 2018

I haven't! Someone else mentioned them here too though. I'll have to look into that anime

Yeah I found this list too but it's like 90% vomit-enducing characters from Oblivion haha

Princess Allura from the new Voltron reboot; not exactly an elf, but she's got the ears (and also isn't milky white). Also, since someone above mentioned World of Warcraft, Valeera Sanguinar is definitely an elf on the smexy side.

MLeth · March 16, 2018

I might have to do an all WoW month since they have like a billion different elf races haha. I already made a Void Elf for this month though! Is Allura a well-known character?

Another idea might be an “OC”, doing an elf from Shadowrun (an RPG that combines Cyberpunk and Fantasy). Lots of room for being creative.

Here is Hart, a combat mage from one of the novels: <a href="https://goo.gl/images/CP93sw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/images/CP93sw</a>

Holly short from Artemis Fowl? Arya from eragon? Kerillian from warhammer vermintide, uh Zevran or Ariane from dragon age, Tyrande or malfurion from Wow, freyalise or Nissa from MTG, Elara from Hunted: dekons forge, elrath from archblade (i think youd love her or elaras designs), aribeth from neverwinter, and finally allyene from queens blade. Das all i got and i hope i didnt butcher any or the names.

Light · March 16, 2018

I think Nissa would be a good choice.

Though technically a Kritya rather than an actual elf, Judith from Tales of Vesperia hits a lot of points...she's smart, sexy and loves to flirt and tease <a href="http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Judith" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Judith</a>

Well, there is Lady Liadrin from World of Warcraft, the leader of the Blood Elf paladins. A recent new girl is Erufuda from the manga Elf-san wa Yaserarenai ("Elves Don't Diet"). A fun little change of pace because she is a bit chubby. Not really ‘well known’, but has recently been popular. There is a second elf girl in there too with dark skin.

I did a Void Elf this month already so no more WoW for now! I'll have to do a WoW only month some time in the future though!

Unusual Badger · March 16, 2018

You could do the elf from Dragon's Crown maybe. It's surprisingly hard to think of elf characters 😬

M
MLeth · March 16, 2018

Right? I love elves but my brain stopped working trying to think of any other elves than the ones in World of Warcraft haha. But yeah the archer from Dragon's Crown is a good one!

There's Evangelyne from Wakfu. A classic elf you don't see much of is Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War, Pirotess from the same series. The Shining Force series has a number of them.

MLeth · March 16, 2018

Ooh Evangelyne is a good one! Haven't heard of the ones from Lodoss War though
