Sun Valley Folk

There was an advertisement of a store located in or nearby the "Valley of the sun " in Arizona. It was posted in our Elfquest forum. And we had the idea of the next Elfquest AU or a What-if-story of the Valley of the Sun becoming the Sun Valley with some Sun Folk elves living there who dared to become Bird of Prey- Riders? 😂 So here is the revised poster and the first Sun Folk elf from the "Valley of the Sun": Wah ankh Antef. It sounds strangely familiar: of course, the name is nicked from an ancient Egyptian.
This is a mix of Sun Village elves, Gliders and ancient Egyptians with a touch of "Stargate".
Their spears are longer than usual and are somewhere between javelins and lances, which are pretty good for impaling something while sitting on the hawks' backs. (So, different battle technique than Gliders, because these elves have mostly no glider magic).
As an Elf with Glider magic, Antef is a natural fit for the Falcon Warrior post. Unfortunately, no one ever asked him if he ever wanted this job. The circumstances lead to this. He's actually a mild-mannered, lovable elf who loathes fighting. 😇
The bird is reduced in size to fit in the picture, else it couldn`t carry Antef.😁

Interesting idea. Antef looks a little like AmethystSadachbias' recent creation, the (alternate reality) son of Leetah and Rayek. ^^

Oh What? Really? What`s his name , where can I find him?
My, the character Antef was invented by me long long ago. Maybe then I still lived at my parents home (so really loooong ago). So I didn`t copy. But hey, surely they look similar, for Antef is Leetahs and Rayeks kid too- just in an alternate universe. (just look in my thread: Yeees sketchbook in the "father tree forum") btw I invite everyone who is interested to have his/her own Elf character in this AU. |

I have to supress the urge to swoop the whole canvas to the right to get the splitted background in the middle of the Image. Also to see more of the bird.
A nice idea with some bird flying Sun Villagers. That concept fits to me. Do I have to sign up in your other forum to see more of that AU? Which Forum is it? How many people are invested in the AU idea? Are there a lot? I like the Plot of Antef (translation=who brings his father with him ?) don't like to kill, but being a hunter. I don't think it's smart thinking of the tribe, but it's a cool concept of a charakter. Redlance for instance did not paticipade in battles or hunts, and the tribe is okay with that. I'd like to read more of his story. |

Oh nice that the idea of the Sun Valley elves inspired you.
 Ha ha, yes I too would love to swoop the whole canvas to the right to get the splitted background in the middle of the Image. This was a photo of a large poster and unfortunately the perspective was a bit crooked. The photographer didn't know that I was going to digitally edit her picture to paint new elves on it,  . Maybe else she would have tried to make it fitting. I also expanded the picture left and right. I am in the "Father Tree Holt", you can find the picture in my art thread: "Yeee`s scetchbook", and there is more plot- text for it. A few in the forum are interested in the AU too but have not yet their own characters. Do you like to have one? I would love to create more of them. "Do I have to sign up in your other forum to see more of that AU?" Yes you have to sign up. Yes , Wah-ankh-Antef is "with ongoing life (well...what else when he is an immortal  ) who brings his father (Rayek) with him, . The selfish father must see himself reflected in his son (hence the strange naming). He, in turn, does not want to be a falcon warrior at all, but rather a researcher.There is no great story until now, but maybe you can write and design a part of it...I would love to see you in my forum.  |
