Artist's Comments

Since everyone seemed to like Zeth so much, I convinced him to let me do a pinup of him. I removed his collar and several of his chains for maximum exposure…but I had to leave some restraints on. We can’t have the pretty psycho boy running around loose now can we? :paranoid:

For those that don’t know, Zeth has a form of Albinism called Leucism. If you want to argue with me about rather humanoids can be leucistic or not, then we'll just assume he's piebald. The point is that while he does have a form of albinism, his skin isn't completely lacking of pigment. He does have some pigment to his skin. And no, sunlight wouldn't bother him anyMORE than it would a normal Drow. Just wanted to clear all that up! :)

hmmm... i do believe that a albino is nothing but a dilution of another color. kinda like a buckskin horse is a dilution of a bay....
(genetic freak here...mostly horses...easier to play with horsie gentic than anything else i think....)

A TRUE albino of any species has a complete lack of pigment to thier hair (or fur), skin, and eyes.

albino:an organism exhibiting deficient pigmentation; especially : a human being or nonhuman mammal that is congenitally deficient in pigment and usually has a milky or translucent skin, white or colorless hair, and eyes with pink or blue iris and deep-red pupil

ALBINO ANIMALS
Albinism is due to one of several gene mutations that affect the production of normal pigmentation. True albino, or amelanistic, animals lack melanin and are white with no markings and with unpigmented pink eyes. In some species there is also a form known as blue-eyed (or "partial") albinism. There are also various degrees of patchy albinism where only part of the body is affected. Some forms of albino are temperature dependent, for example the Siamese cat has a form of albinism where pigmentation develops on cooler areas of the body (the head, tail and legs) but is inhibited on the warmer parts of the body. Piebaldism occurs when albinism only affects certain areas of skin; the unpigmented patches are due to localised mutations in skin cells during embryo development. If the mutation occurs early in development, the patches are larger. If it occurs later, the patches are smaller.

Anerythristic albinos lack the red colour. The actual colour and pattern of the animal depends on what other colours are in the pattern. One effect might be a bluish-grey animal. Axanthic albinos lack the yellow colour. The actual colour and pattern of the animal depends on what other colours are in the pattern. Tyrosinase-negative albinos lack tyrosinase (an enzyme which synthesises melanin) in their cells; this usually produces a pale yellowish or cream animal with pink-eyes. The more common Tyrosinase Positive albino is unable to synthesise melanin, but is able to synthesise tyrosinase; this often results in a fawn or lavender (platinum) colour.

Leucism is similar to albinism and is often mistaken for albinism; leucistic animals are white with dark eyes and some pigmentation, for example ghost markings.

Zeth is technically leucistic, but I thought there was another term for it when humans are afflicted with it.

Wuaw... you know I do not often look at male drawings, but I was impressed by the colours and shadowing of this one... His skin looks just like marble and you can nearly feel the cold surface (not that I was pretending to touch HIM in any way!)

Good job here.

Thanks Borja! =D

Dammit, you should have finished the picture further down! :shakefist:

Heh, naw, I'm kidding. I love the concept of an albino drow. That's awesome. X3 (I did see the other picture of Zeth, I just never got around to commenting on it... sorry ^^;)
