Return to Innocence AU
Album - Owner: Sadachbia - 54 items
My primary Elfquest AU! I've been working on it since my high school days (at the turn of the millennium). It starts out with the short story "Return to Innocence" (https://www.deviantart.com/amethystsadachbia/gallery/34057087/eq-comic-return-to-innocence), which shows the major events of divergence from the canon universe. It's different enough from canon that I don't think it could ever be an accepted "Worldpool" timeline, but that's okay, I don't plan to stop drawing/writing for it!

The major thing about this alternaverse is that an outsider, distantly related to the High Ones, visited the Wo2M and returned hundreds of spirits to fleshly life—including most of the slain Firstcomers, and some beloved characters who died more recently (such as Foxfur, Skywise's parents, and Skimmer). Not every elf who ever died was resurrected, though. Some of their spirits were simply moved onto the next stage for reincarnation. (If anyone really wants it, I can upload a list of every elf brought back to life, because I am in fact obsessive-compulsive enough to have made a list. xD)

Who's Who: Cutter and Leetah
I've been making these for both established characters and new non-canon characters, but always trying to add important details in to make everyone readily recognisable even for people who haven't read all the comics.

It's also worth pointing out that Cutter isn't a split-off piece of Timmain's sou…

Who's Who: Adya and Timmain
Most folks here already know who both these characters are, but I figure it's helpful to give more context for this AU. ^^

Pinecone Sun Village outfit
I originally labelled the sketch of this as "lake", as in clothing that would dry out quickly after a swim, but then I realised it would also be good for when Pinecone and her lovemate Crescent are hanging out in the Sun Village post-resurrection. She might want some sunscreen, though… xD

I think Elfmom has said there were originally only 40 or so Sun Villagers, but I named way more than that based on her artwork. >_>

It should go without saying that a sudden increase in the variety of the gene pool is going to lead to TONS of Recognitions. :P

I didn't just invent new elves, I also gave names to some minor background characters :V

Strongbow also cried when reunited with Crescent later, and then probably had a dehydration headache.

I headcanoned original names for Brace and both Doors long ago, but when we learned their canon names during FQ, I decided to adopt 'em. ^^

Most of the people on this page AREN'T Elfquest characters; they're from original settings of mine, which makes RtI a crossover (but boy do I love crossovers. LOL)

Four-tribe mess exposition (3)
I always really, really liked Foxeye's new outfit designs for Crescent, so I kind of…borrowed one of them. ^^; It's okay as long as I give credit, right?

Strongbow put it best in KoBW when he referred to Cutter's leadership of the merged Wolfrider/Sun Folk/Glider/Go-Back society as "the only chief who can keep the whole, barking, four-tribe mess of us pulled together". XD

Firstcomers exposition
I started doing a whole bunch of combination text + art pages like these, grouped into sets, but never finished most of them. I'll at least post the pages I DID finish, in the hopes it helps explain the backstory of my AU a little better.

Adya speed portrait
A quick digital portrait of Adya, once of the Circle of Nine. After his resurrection in Return to Innocence, Timmain has learned enough to be able to describe him as her lifemate; he technically kind of always was, but she didn't fully understand the concept until after she'd lived on the Wo2M for…

Talno, revived
Talno (of the Chosen Eight) is one of the many elves brought back to life during Return to Innocence, initially just in his old Chosen Eight duds, but later swaps that out for something more appropriate to slumming in the Sun Village. He's a metallokinetic, but being a snooty bastard, is not parti…

Yucca speed portrait
Yucca, elder sister of Stonefire (one of the first Plainsrunners we're introduced to), is a scout and guard for the Blazing Sands clan. She's a little more placid than her bold younger sibling, but can be as sharp as the desert plant she's named after when she or her tribe are threatened.

Tortoiseshell speed portrait
Tortoiseshell is a craftswoman in the Blazing Sands Plainsrunners clan. Her preferred material is, as you can probably guess, the discarded shells of desert tortoises, but she works in a variety of other media too. She's also a decent psychokinetic, which comes in very handy for fine detailing (thou…

Sunfall is one of the Blazing Sands clan's best trackers, as well as the mother of Whitefire. (Like many Plainsrunners, she Recognised a member of another clan who was too needed by their own to become lifemates, so Sunfall was more or less a single mother—though that's easier in a tribal setting wh…
