A nice collection of elven character line art (with a couple of pieces in grayscale). This sort of art is always great to use when running RPGs for kids, who get a lot of enjoyment out of coloring and customizing the pictures.

A minor quibble - one of the images is duplicated, so the package really contains 11 unique pictures, not 12.

Not a bad selection of pieces, though I do have a few complaints. First, the description says you get 12 pieces of art, though in reality there are only 11 because one of the images was included twice. The duplicate image also has a few defects on it, like there was some debris on the paper when it was scanned. of the remaining 11 images one is unusable to me because part of the image is cut off. So I'm actually getting 10 images that I can use. Still, for the price I paid though I am satisfied with what I got. I like the last image the best, which is a male ranger holding a bow. His cloak covers his ears, so you could just as easily use him as a half elf or human.

Character Gallery II: Elves 2, contains twelve pages of illustrations for use in your home games and as part of a published work, with the standard ilmits of art. Mainly that you cannot repackage it as art and resell it.

The art is by Brian Brinlee, Ozzy Longoria, and Alex Gutierrez. The art can be grouped by the styles. The cover art, which in my opinion looks better in black and white, is a nice clean style and the artist has several morei llustrations in the book including a swashbuckler female with two blades, a monk/wizard style figure, a wizard/fighter style female (perfect for a Hexblade in 4e), an armored male wizard/fighter (more suited for a swordmage perhaps, but still too heavily armored), and a archetype elf ranger archer.

The next art style is not too my personal taste. The first illustration is an elf, perhaps female, in some odd squatting position where the right hand and the bow the figure is holding are partially cut off. The female noble on page nine is well done being more clean, but then it gets messy with some warrior woman wearing leg armor that seems highly segmented, and this same illustration is then repeated on page 13.

the third style is more of a charcoal or heavy sketch style and starts with a female that could easily pass as a tiefling or dark elf with a evil sword and a massive staff with the head of a demon on it. Horns spiral off her skull, but could easily be a helm or going through the helm. The next illustration looks like it could be an elf warrior or a other... perhaps not evil, but definately military styling. There needs to me more of this style.

If the middle artist work had the full illustration of the female with the bow and the art wasn't reprinted, I think this would be a more useful product. Having more of that last illustrator do more work would also be great as that style is my own personal preference.
