I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends.

This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

A piece of clean artwork that's most likely from a Japanese magazine, named Jibuchinuki Special Feature (translation might be inaccurate). Image depicts a blonde warrior with a red cape, holding a sword on his right hand being surrounded by lizard people with swords and shields, and even a giant snake like creature. A weird skull can be seen in the upper right corner on top of a stone pillar.

A male elf with long hair and a single horn embedded in their forehead leans with their right hand resting on a rock with a multitude of eyes carved into it. He is holding a dagger in his left hand pointed to his chest. The man wears multiple detailed accessories and boots that come up to his upper thighs.
