Pointy Ears

Pointy ears are one of the defining characteristics of character art in the fantasy genre. These can vary from small, subtle points to extremely long and horizontal, like the traditional elf ears, which can be so long they define the character's profile. You'll notice these are often paired with flowing robes or leather armor to emphasize the high-fantasy or otherworldly look.

The style tends to have smooth skin tones and crisp lines along the edges of the ears. These are often used by character artists to frame the character's face for portraits, and of course, there's something inherently magical about the character.
