Illustration: Drow Assassin in the Underdark - DnD Character

🖤 Commission Spotlight: Drow Assassin Character Art 🖤

This digital illustration was a commissioned piece created for a client's Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Crafted in Photoshop using a Huion Kamvas Pro 13, this piece unfolded over the course of 5 days, with 3–5 hours of focused work each day — totaling roughly 15–20 hours of dedication and detail.

The client’s prompt called for a Drow assassin with:
🕷️ Short, half-braided hair
🗡️ Sleek, simple armor
🌑 A dark, stealthy presence befitting the underdark

Beyond these key elements, I was given a generous amount of artistic freedom — which allowed me to dive deep into moody lighting, sharp contrast, and subtle details that bring this shadowy figure to life. From the careful texturing on the armor to the haunting expression, every choice was made to support the narrative of a silent killer stalking in the dark.

This piece was a joy to create and a powerful example of what can happen when imagination and trust in an artist come together! ✨
