An'nai Tir'Atha belongs to Eric, he's a main character in Eric's book.
I was given a detailed description of this character and am very pleased to be able to bring Eric's vision to life. a bit of a challenge as the character is very young and i'm not used to painting such youthful males

overall i wanted to capture his free spirit and innocence. and i have to admit that for the first time ever i really enjoyed painting the background as well

In response to another comment made, I just feel compelled to point out that An'nai is not a Drow and was not inspired by them. I've not read very many Forgotten Realms books, to be honest. ^.^
The race An'nai belongs to is one I've actually been working on for years now. It began when I was 14, way before I ever knew about Drow. Black skin is incredibly rare amongst An'nai's race. And on a personal note, I've always liked the idea of truly black skin, I love it too well to change it - despite the many Drow comparisons.
An'nai was a very interesting and fun character to paint
