I for one can't stand those long, World of Warcraft elf ears. Is WoW to blame for the popularity of extra-large elf ears? Blech.
Gimme slightly pointed elf ears any day.
Of course, if the elf is being portrayed by Felicia Day, that's when I stop caring about the ears.
So, what are your preferred elf ears?
Oh, and for those who are hardcore about their elfish-ness, there's always body mod (of course this would also work for those Trekkers who wish to be more Vulcan).
The first time that I saw really long elf ears was in Record of Lodoss War, so it could derive from Japanese anime/manga. Earlier than that, though, there was the Pinsom comic in Dragon magazine. Still, I'm not sure if he was really an elf as we think of them.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't know if elves should have pointy ears at all, but if they do, I always see them as shorter.
Like faoladh, I thought the long ears came from Record Of Lodoss War and I rather liked them in that. However, as my current campaign doesn't include elves the issue shouldn't arrive.
ReplyDeleteThose ginormous WoW ears are beyond ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI prefer spock like ears, subtle but obviously different.
