ElderScrolls: The Snow Prince

Description

From whence he came we did not know, but into the battle he rode, on a brilliant steed of pallid white. Elf we called him, for Elf he was, yet unlike any other of his kind we had ever seen before that day. His spear and armor bore the radiant and terrible glow of unknown magicka, and so adorned this unknown rider seemed more wight than warrior.

~ Fall of the Snow Prince, Lokheim

My portrayal of the Snow Prince, hero of the Falmer.
Anyone keeping up with the news no doubt knows about the datamined Skyrim DLC info (detailing the Snow Elves, etc), though none of that has actually been confirmed yet.
Since I first read Fall of the Snow prince, I was rather captivated by the story, because of the images it put in my head. That, and I have great curiosity and empathy for the Falmer and their history.

So, I guess it goes to say that it was the datamined info that pushed me to finally draw this character, who I'd been planning to do something for for a while since first reading the book in Skyrim. I tried to portray him how one might imagine a Snow Elf to look, trying to take cues from the statue as well. Hopefully, I've done a good job. :)

Lol, his spear got a bit heavy-looking in the end; it was originally supposed to be much lighter, but hey, he seems to have been a ridiculously good battlemage, so maybe it's lighter than it looks. His hand looks a bit odd as well. I swear, it looked fine before I put the final lines down. O_o
I'll post a close-up of his face at some point, but I don't have enough internet credit right now.
