What is a drow? Never heard that word before... :hmm:

The unit looks cool, though, whatever it is... perhaps a bit lighter would be better?

A "Drow" is the D&D term for a dark elf.

There is no distinction between any of the interior colors... it basically looks like a silhouette(sp?) of an elvish unit. If that's what you're going for, fine, but it doesn't look good even for something evil or shadowy.

put it on a few different background terrains. It is sometimes hard to tell how a unit will look in game without that, unless they are only ever going to be used in snow.

Well here it is on grassland.

EDIT: And on the old desert and hills.

It needs a more distinct outline.

And what's with the white hat? Its way too bright... "white" should be shown by a light grey.

I think the unnit looks pretty cool, although maybe not the best representation of a dark elf ;) but I never played D&D
but yeah, white hat looks odd, and more distict outline and it would look pretty cool. I like how they tell you to put color in then so its too light ;) color is good but white on dark elf looks. . . odd?

it's not a hat, it's his hair :).
Drow elves have different colors of hair in ForgottenRealms. Most popular drow is Drizzt Do'Urden, who had white hair, and probably that's why most people think all drow elves must have white hair.

But even white hair has different shades to it.
