Dark Elf - Archer and Wizard
Pixel art for today based on the video game Bard's Tale for PC (MS DOS). It's a role-playing game released in the mid-80s. There's a version with 4-color СGA graphics. It's an adventure no worse than Dungeons & Dragons. Or maybe it's even the best. I haven't played it. I don't know for sure. But there's definitely adventure, leveling up, and exciting gameplay for the time. It's probably something like the Krinn Saga.
And this is my drawing based on Bard's Tale (MS DOS). The town is quiet and peaceful. Pedestrians stroll the stone streets. And they have no idea that among them walks the legendary dark elf. An archer and a wizard. Ra-mazh. And even fewer know about the catacombs that lie literally in the neighboring forest. From the old lich king. Who lived here hundreds of years ago. A passage to the depths was found in the ruins of an old tower.
This discovery so stunned the dark elf that he literally forgot to finish his magic elixir at the tavern. He rushed to check it out himself. And it turned out to be true. Most likely, the necromancer lich himself still rests somewhere in these underground labyrinths. This should be investigated first.
But before that, he needs to think things through. And buy healing potions from the healer. Get a new weapon from the blacksmith. A dagger. Then have the sorcerer cast spells on it. You're unlikely to find anything better in these parts than the Dark Bow of skies. Plus, +1 to attack. And the spells are also quite good for fighting the undead. The dark elf specializes in exterminating the undead.
He wears a robe so no one will recognize him. And you are that dark elf. And this is his adventure. In 4-color СGA graphics. Like MS DoS! It's just a picture! And the text is like a fantasy story.
