ElfQuest Fan Art

Since I am so much faster with inking than I am with coloring, as well as not knowing his actual colors, here is the next in our holt gang. This time it's Mykal's Goodeye. I actually did this illo quite a while back, but with moving and mundane life distractions, it's taken me this long to get aroun…

The old badger is finally done! Man, this took so much longer than I expected. And true to his character, Bearclaw didn't always make it easy for me. But the ride was so much fun! And choosing his animal companion was pretty easy. Once more I tried to incorporate elements that were important in his…

Lil Moonshade sketch as I watched House. Man, I miss drawing elves, I gotta get moving on my calendar piece!

As I commented in the color version of Cub Songjoy that my little nature boy would likely have hugged a tree at some point, and here's the proof! Pity the poor ink pen that was dying with the last lines I laid down. Am working on the jamming session between adult Songjoy and Amberfox. Got the sketch…

Got annoyed with my old icon, so whipped up a new profile picture.

So, here is Songjoy with his dark hair. He had this color before he used his ability for the first time as a weapon, which stressed him so severely that his hair turned white. I dunno...I'm thinking the dark hair is pretty damn sexy. So, maybe this is after all the color returns. Haven't decided. No…

Another pic of Mender but this time he’s wearing tight pants with no top.

Finally got around to coloring the two lovers, Marek and Wyrran.

I needed to break up all of the Mender pic posts so I a pic of another character I thought was cute at a young age, Little Patch. Though I don’t think he owed any clothing other than that one color.

Edit I changed his hair and head accessory a bit

Mender using a healing spell

I have no idea if this is how he does it since it’s been a long while since reading EQ

Here’s yet another Mender pic  of him standing near a house in the sun village

This idea came to me while I was working on all the other Songjoy sketches and I had to do it before I wimped out. I just had the image of Songjoy innocently enjoying a night on a rocky outcrop in the Vast Deep, playing and singing to the moons when Lilypad happens on him. And hey, since Mom seems t…

Lousy scanned colors, but here he is, on his way to perform. He so loves to perform. Again, if I can find inspiration for background, I'll add it once I'm done with my calendar entry(ies). It's just been so quiet that I thought I'd add something in the wait time.

Songjoy, probably at his blonde-ist, just as the colors in his hair start to come back. Will try and return to this to add background at some point. Uh-huh. I just wish my scanner could really capture the colors more accurately. Oh well. The colors on all of these are so vibrant, but not when scanne…

Little cub Songjoy in color. Okay, I was working on a background, but since I need to work on the calendar, I'm just going to post this as is and maybe come back to it. Yeah, right.

Thought I'd post this so May doesn't languish like the rest of this year so far. And he's not happy with me since I had to put aside coloring this to work on the calendar. Such a prima dona. Anyway, here's Songjoy when his hair was dark. Long story, but I'll be posting his CIS soon. His hair was ver…

A pic of Mender in my favorite look of his.

Was thinking about some of the friendships that formed during the timeskip in KOTBW, like how Cutter kind of ended up being Tyleet and Venka’s surrogate dad. This took me about two and a half hours on Procreate. 

Okay, it's just too DAMN QUIET here! I don't really have anything new ready for primetime, so I thought I'd throw something old but recently colored in just to make sure SOMETHING is posted for this month. I may have one or two more that I wouldn't be totally embarrassed to post at this point before…

Happy 46th birthday, Elfquest!
I didn't quite make it in time, but close. So, here's the next entry in my portrait series, Rayek. What a complex character without whom Elfquest would not be what it is. His journey from being rather self-centered, arrogant and needing the confirmation of his worth fr…

Wanted to practice hugs. Turned melancholy very fast. You'll notice that Leetah hasn't left any footprints...

I like Venka and Tyleet's friendship as the only two their age in KotBW. Also, I'm not super great at lineless digital painting yet but I like how the light came out. I was going for late afternoon golden hour vibes and I think I got it.

I really liked how this one came out. Sharpie and watercolor markers on paper.

A while ago Wendy Pini asked something like "what do you think would've been different if Elfquest was first published today?" Only thing I could think of was modernizing some outfits a little bit. Ember gets a crop top (gotta show off those abs) and an undercut!

Songjoy on his way to a musical performance in his holt. He loves to don fancier outfits, even snazzy ornamentation. This guy would wear makeup and/or roll in glitter if he felt like it. Anyway, he's put some thin silver coils in his hair, and he's bringing his beloved sistrum to the party. I should…

I made two versions of Leetah, for this one I let her hair fade into the background. I am not sure which one I like better. Maybe you can help?

This took a long time to make and so many reworks, it's not even funny. I am pretty happy with the result, even though I do feel the single parts look better than the complete picture. I am pretty proud of the eyes and put a looooot of details into them, so I recommend to have a look at them in full…

Again, will post the color version when I recover my pencils from my mother's house. Argh. Anyway, Songjoy is one of those that is smiling nearly all the time, so when he isn't, beware. He has that rare expression of "I'm going to bitchslap you out of existence" that is serious because he can back i…

Sadly, I was ready to color the sketches of Songjoy (man, I need to get rid of that name) when I realized I had accidentally left all of my good color pencils at my mother's house from the holidays. Damn it! So, I thought I'd just go ahead and ink them in and go back and color when I visit Mom at th…
