I tried to do a little shading on the above picture with The Gimp's dodge and burn tools, but... The results were poor. I still think it would look good shaded, but it appears I'm not the rat to do that job.

Has any other single picture from any strip gotten this much attention before? If RHJr isn't doing several pics of the Drow enchantress for sale, he's passing up a nice chunk of Christmas change.

Part of me wonders if RH feels a little disturbed by the attention that Lily's black pantheress form is getting

Then, granted, I also must realize that there is a large male membership on this board, and, well, hormones being hormones....

(and before anyone says it, yes, she does look good, but I an't lookin' at her that way ;) )

Hey, when somebody repeatedly throws a rather-striking-but-unshaded image in my face, and I happen to be playing with the Gimp... Shading happens...

Oh, this is nothing to the response that certain pictures of Lily have received in the past...

Excuse me, but who is this "us" you speak of, and why do you have to be for or against them? You weren't very specific.

The red makes her look a bit demonic.....try green, dark then light, see which looks better.

Interesting. Looks magenta, but still very interesting.

Drow eyes...

Post by Wanderwolf »

I hate to be a party pooper, but RH specifically says the eyes are "pale" for this particular drow. Likewise, while the SRD says drow eyes are often "a vivid red", other eye colors are obviously acceptable... especially since a pale red is a pink, and who wants pinkeye?

I'd go with the pale green, or possibly a pale gold.

Yours truly,

The resarch-happy,

Wanderer
