Domehain Sceal: Image Thread

OK, here are a few image links that I feel should help visualize the project. They are all free to use or share (or so a Google Search said):

Female Elf: [1]◊

Orcs: -priest: [2]◊ -warrior: [3]◊

Thieves' Guild member: [4]◊

Dragon: [5]◊

Elena, Goddess of Nature: [6]◊

I found these on a non-specific fantasy art search. Feel free to offer more images (including alternates to ones shown here.) But remember, Free-to-Use ones only!

I already had an image of Elena I designed and posted months ago.

Except that isn't an Elf, that's a Sylvan.

1◊ 2◊ 3◊ 4◊ 5◊ (Admittedly, this one look half-Beast Folk) 6◊ 7◊ 8◊

These are Elfs.

You did? I don't recall it. Can you link to it here?

Also, keep in mind these are just my suggestions, the official images will be chosen by vote (like anything else.)

Oh right, the whole genetic-variance aspect. I like the idea, but I think the names should be inverted- the species should be called Sylvans, and the Elf-like race, well, Elves. Less confusing.

It's a reference to origin, the orginal Elph nation had screwed around with bioturgy due to their worship of Elena in the form of Elphena.

Sylvan were originally conceived as having a naming system for child and adult specifically for those who froze in again (That's a thing they do) around those points, one called Gnome. This has the etymological origin of being the only word they used for anyone who's age had frozen at all. It was later used to refer solely to those who's age had frozen after it became popular to refer someone who froze around the adult stage as a Sylvan Elf. This is due to the resemblance at the time between the Sylvan and the Elph before the large scale genetic manipulation since the later were Human descendants of the former.
