The Ears!

Here's a small article with an interview with artist Yutaka Izubuchi and the origins of the long anime elf ears: www.siliconera.com/2018/05/14/…

I always dug the ears in Lodoss, and I'm not sure why. Maybe because they were so delicate looking on Deedlit and Pirotess, but also definitely how expressive they made Deedlit. I especially remember a scene in Chronicles of the Heroic Knight when Deedlit was drinking and in her intoxication, her ears started twitching up and down. In my own fantasy project, I've kept the ears on my elf-like folk as an homage to my roots role-playing in Lodoss!
