ElfQuest Fan Art

I keep hearing about the series but know absolutely nothing as well. Either way, this looks like the trio are having fun, taking a break from their adventures, maybe exchanging tales. Laluna looks a bit mischievous, but more that she seems quite happy with whatever is occurring. Or maybe she's about to playfully smack Ungarion with that plate (?).Your sketches always seem to have such "personality" even if quick.

Oh, wow! Fanart of Little Patch! I always thought he was an interesting character and was sad when he died. I think you did a really good job with him, certainly better than I would have. This is making me need to return to his story and read it again. I think there are two things that would improve it, however, albeit nitpicking points. At his hairline, soften that hard line and break it up a bit. That hard a line almost makes it look more like a wig than natural hair. Play around with it and see what you think. The other is the neck closest to the viewer should curve a bit into the body/shoulder to give it more depth; more curve if his shoulder is naturally positioned, less curve if he's tensed a bit and has it raised. Again, if you have the time and inclination, give it a try and see if you think it improves the image. No, I don't recall he had a vast wardrobe, but some people are quite happy with limited attire. If you should revisit the character, you can always slap him into a ceremonial outfit that we the audience never saw! Why not?

Nothing wrong with The Doors, although they're not very high on my love that band list. And I swear Songjoy is by no means based on Jim Morrison! If I were to base an elf on a Doors band member, I think I'd go for Ray Manzarek first. Hm. Not sure. And Songjoy rarely runs around shirtless. I just wanted him shirtless in this illo. Mwahahaha!

Have to admit, it's a very sexy, sensual image. You can just feel what they are. The coloring, shading, and composition are just wonderful, and I can't believe I haven't commented on this before! I think Rayek's eyes seems a little more rounded in this, but with the emotion going on, I think maybe that helps him seem even more expressive than usual. For some reason, I really like the expression on Crescent's face. I think I'm not alone when I say I wish she had survived and maybe at least some of this had been canon.

Let's hope Songjoy learns the lesson.

Why do I not remember this illo at all?! Poor Miriel, can't help but wonder what is bothering her to be so sullen. And Mardu seems so genuinely concerned, wanting to cheer her up. Plus, we just don't get to see much fan art for Mardu, either. Or a lot of GoBack interior images!

Yeah, his hair is very thick, especially at the scalp. He's usually smiling, thought I'd given him a slight smile, but everyone can make their own interpretation of his expression. Maybe something's not right with the music; can't be that he's being observed, he's not shy! Jim Morrison? I suppose, never would've made that connection. Maybe it's the just the hair!

This illo has more detail in the shading and overall coloration, and I also like that you've added a background. I really should do the same, just too lazy.

Of the recent trio of illos you've done of him, I like this one the best because he's not just looking sexy, he's being sexy. Very dynamic. You can tell he's really enjoying the healing ability being put to use. Usually, he's shown with a faint yellowish glow to depict magic being used, but who cares? It's your interpretation, and maybe this is a new ability he's testing out (something involving healing but something he's never done before).

I thought I had posted to this, silly me. This is the best interpretation of Zarhan I've seen. The canon art from the comics never appealed to me. In fact, I couldn't figure out WHAT he was. He just looked really weird and unflattering for any species, something akin to a cross between Bozo the Clown and a troll doll. This looks amazing, even sexy, but still very mysterious and quite the enigma. That's how he was supposed to be, from what I read. Amazing job! Miss your work here!

How is it you can manage High One proportions and make it look so effortless? He's a handsome sea elf, and I love you have given him a deep sea blue to his skin that, again, look so effortless and realistic. The accent colors really work as well, and can you imagine him and Terra having cubs (pips?) with that green hair? Great work, as Icemoon said, as always! Wish I had joined World of Danen when it was active...sigh...

This is such a sweet, sad, and very touching scene. I love the emotion and overall feel to this. It's something most of us can relate to, the loss of someone dear that still seems to be with us no matter where we are. I agree with the framing of the trees to the image. It's also great to see more Rain. He seemed such a great character that didn't get much of a chance to spend time in the spotlight. We also need to see more Bert.  Where are you, my friend?!

Mom must be proud; he's a handsome guy! Love the use of the paper, and it really helps with the overall theme and mood of the illo.

I think I actually prefer the long side swept bangs best; very sexy, in my opinion.

I don't have anything beyond a mouse at this point, but maybe I should look into a digital pen and/or tablet. I did try using photoshop to color long ago and it was just weird to me, so I didn't keep it up. Maybe it's time to revisit. I can be a bit slow to new technology, I admit.

Mom to this day rolls her eyes and sighs about my propensity to drag home animals and ask the exact same question. Yes, gopher tortoises are pretty huge. When I brought that one home with me, it was so huge and heavy (I was about 6) that I had to squat slightly and brace the back of it against my thighs just to support it. Mom thought it HAD to be an escaped pet, so she sent me around the neighborhood to make sure it wasn't. So, I got a pet tortoise. Sadly, they are now extirpated from the area. But Mom did take pictures of me trying to hold it. As for Songjoy in this, he's still stunned he got grabbed and dragged under by a cub (pip?). He's just beginning to try to figure this all out, and how to escape without harming her.

I have to admit I love both of their expressions; they seem so very genuine and real. I would be much like Beyond at being hugged like that, never much for hugging (long story). Don't think I remember much about Feannec, but he is rather attractive here! Of course, Beyond is as well, and I certainly can sympathize with him. Great illo!

Yeah, he does have that pimp look, but I can't help but wonder if he's offering his services as well...I might buy! He is cute, and like Wildfire, I'm loving the hair.  The clothes are...well, I've seen much worse, but isn't that the fun in taking them off? Someday I'll get around to posting the dice rolled characters I've done and/or sketch those that I rolled all those years ago.

I think their play-quarreling is who gets to be on the front cover! Love this, it's really fun to look at, and the angle on Marut is great! I agree that the use of the brown paper, no matter how slippery it might be, really adds to the image. I don't have a diary myself, but I do have several very full 3 inch three ring binders full of my EQ art over the years. My non-EQ art is scattered over my house here and there. Priorities, after all!

Well, I've been holding off on everything until I was done with most of the illos I've done of him. So, calendar calls, upload what I have and finish the rest later. Told you he was demanding of images of him! Glad you're enjoying these! Songjoy has a mass of thick hair that he plays around with, especially the "bangs," which can change up his overall appearance. Of course, the hair going white, then blonde, then gradually regaining the dark colors changes things up, too. He's a slender guy, and I'm not entirely happy with the way he looks here, but the face is almost spot on. Hey, shading is my thing!
