Who needs elves?

Description

I always wondered why creators of fantasy stories spend so much time creating elaborate worlds, with wholly original locations, history, religions, customs and characters -- and then choose to put in the bog standard elves and dwarves in there ... Tolkien did that already -- and a long time ago!

At any rate, this is another image from my roleplaying campaign and rule booklet,of one of the rare non-human races of that campaign world.

Quick image done in GIMP as usual. Comments always appreciated. It really comes out better in full view, so check it out.

I'm glad to see someone else agrees with an increase in diversity in fantasy races. The paleness of her face gives me the impression she's lived underground for the majority of her life, rarely seeing sunlight. The amount of eyes also makes me feel as if she would get along well with spiders, and the lack of mouth combined with the eerie look makes me think she's psychic/has telekinetic powers. But, anyway, very well done :)
