Sylvan Priest and Soldier
Drawn for Thaerin
Finished: October 4th, 2007

Another drawing for Thaerin, this time of his Sylvan Elves soldiers and priests. Once again, I used my twin sister's hands to model theirs. And I hid their hands because I'm lazy. I'll admit it. Oh, and the soldier has his shield strapped across his neck in case anyone is wondering what that thing behind him is.

Okay, first thing I'll have to admit is that I stole the design of Eowyn's (from the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien) baldric-belt in the movie. [link]

The Soldier has Assyrian based Armor:

And the soldier's individual plate armor has letters from the Sylvan alphabet inscribed on it.

The Priest’s clothing is based off the Byzantine priest:

For the Priest, his clothing is all hemmed and on the borders it says in Thaerin's Sylvan Alphabet: "V'hrallan urilaud ala meledlaud." which means: "The Faithful and Humble Servant of Vwena."

And this is my interpretation of Vwena: [link]
