Half-Elf characters

Half-elves are second only to humans here, and they lean hard toward rogues, sorcerers and wizards — those three take more than a third of them between them. Half-elf is mostly a matter of degree, and that is what makes it awkward to draw: slightly sharp ears, slightly long features, and stop before it tips over into full elf. Worth scrolling for where people drew that line.

Skin tones here cover more range than almost any other race, pale porcelain, olive, copper, bronze, deep ebony and the occasional pale blue warlock. Red and auburn hair turns up far more often than with full elves, and so do freckles, rolled sleeves and scars. Men and women are almost exactly even. Sorcerers bring the dramatic hair, violet, black with a crimson lock, dragon scales on the skin, while the fighters and rangers keep it short and practical. If you want yours to read as half-elf and not elf, warm the skin and shorten the ears.
