My entry of Skimback for the Elfquest Fanart Calendar 2013. It was a long journey ranging from mid-end-summer 2011 when I decided to participate in some project like this to the final pic which was sent in Dec2011/Jan 2012. It was the first time for me and I really gained quite a lot of experiences.
Done in LibreOffice Draw and Inkscape, maybe 1% GIMP (final cropping iirc ). Maybe I am just more familiar with handling vector graphics.
After all I am happy I participated. It was sometimes a little exhausting (when you have a lot of "real life" work to do) but on the other hand I had also fun with it and I wanted to bring in these humorous elements.
In the process I was also talked into making a Rayek picture (of course that was my first thought, I am j.a.R.f. for a reason) but I didn't dare to take a main character. But since Skimback went kinda well in my opinion I decided to give Rayek a try. (see 2014 calendar)
I chose Skimback because there wasn't enough enthusiasm for Wavedancers or other rare characters and because it was not a so well know character so people wouldn't burn me if I failed. First I intended Venka or Clearbrook but they were already claimed before I decided to participate, then Suntoucher but after weeks being not claimed (and me still pondering) he was suddenly taken so I went around the list and found the Wavedancers. I took out my comics, and the online ones and instantly liked him for being a healer.
So this was then my fist ever entry to ElfQuest Fanart, and then even a calendar.
It was composed in parts (nearly all vectors) and then at the end glued together in the 2500x2500 pixel space.
