ElfQuest Fan Art

Our new holt! Looks wonderful! *goes exploring*

I agree with all of you. The fantasy genere has been so successfull the last decade+, it does seem like a really cheap excuse. "Sorry, we're already busy making one movie containing short people and pointed ears". Right.

I'd be more inclined to believe that WB sees the EQ-fanbase as too limited, which jeopardizes box office results. Also, I can understand that there are some doubts as to how to transfer the story to the big screen; which format, which characters to include, and so forth.
Whatever the reasons, I'm sorry for Elfmom and Elfpop, and all the fans that've been waiting for this move.


Personally, I've always had my doubts that it's possible to transfer a universe as rich as Elfquest into one feature film,  but that might be blasphemy to say outloud.

It seems the moviequest has come to an abrupt ending. According Facebooks official EQ-page:

“After close to four years of suspense - and longer than four years of your much-appreciated interest and support - the word has come down from Warner Bros. And the word is ‘no.’ Their simple explanation is that they don't want to compete with The Hobbit. This was a possibility, among several, that we were prepared for. It is a relief, at last, to know.”

Did you guys know about this? I don't visit the official EQ site so often, so I had no idea...

Personally I don't have anything against DA, but if it means "losing" people like Treefox and Windrider (she doesn't have a gallery there, I think?), we should absolutely find another option.

I'm all for Maggies idea if it means that this community can live on!

I'm crazy. A part of me REALLY want to draw a pin up of The Bone Woman...

Oh High Ones, DO IT!

I must admit I don't have the "rules" clearly figured out yet. I've only done stuff like this in RL with my friends, and then we just followed our imagination. For instance, I start drawing a certain character, person #2 continues working on the same char, person # 3 isn't so great with figure drawing, but adds a wicked background, person # 4 decides to add a 2nd character to interact with the first. And so on.  

And basically, the 2-3 last persons on the list try to finish it up as much as possible, so that the final result looks somewhat like a finished picture instead of a bunch of random sketches put together on a sheet.

The main point, is, of course, to have fun  

...or whatever we should call it 

Some of us have been discussing the idea of having an online EQ-drawing-get-together. The general idea would be something like this: all who are interested sign up on a list here on the forums. On a certain date, every single member sends a sketch of something EQ- related to the next member on the list (the last one sends to the first on the list) - who contributes to the drawing in their own way. And so on, until all drawings have done a full circle.

Then we go ahead and post them here, to the marvel and delight of all EQ-fandom

Since I know a lot of us  (*cough* like me* cough*) are still busy with the final calendar entries, it'll probably be some time before we get around to eventually organizing it. But, in the mean time -

does this sound interesting to you guys? Any ideas or thoughts?

Eeeeeek!!! Now, you do realize that here in Europe it's 3 AM and I can't go to bed until I've cought at least a glipmse of the calendar? 

This is Christmas all over again!

Hmm, remote diagnosis isn't something I like to do but do can you tell what happened? Which OS is it, does the HD still spin up? I mean, there is often a nice solution by using a Linux LiveCD. mounting drives, copying your important data to a USB media and there you are. Maybe repair the faulty OS later.
If the filesystem is hurt, well, still chances to rescue things, but if the HDD itself is broken then it's time to find a recent backup. If it is some other hardware error, no worries that can be exchanged or repaired. The HDD is the most important part of your computer.

Thank you so much for your willingness to help, jaRF! This morning, my uncle actually managed to save most of my picture files to a USB key! (Yup, I'm such a noob I had to turn to my soon 70-y.o uncle to save the day ) I have no idea how he managed to do this, since I haven't even been able to switch it on properly for two days.

The computer will be handed in for (possible) repair, and in the meantime I'll be using the computer I'm on now. Crossing my fingers!

I haaaate drawing eyes. I leave them till the very last, and even then usually rush them.  

  Well, it doesn't show!

Come to think of it, that's actually what I do with hands and feet

*agrees with Joselle and Afke*

I'm really close to drawing zombie elves again. I mean, for real this time.  

I still kinda like the idea of Zombie elves 

Seriously though: if you want, I'd be more than happy to do do some C/C. I've had to ask Foxeye for that myself, it realy helps to get some fresh input!

Just send me a PM

@Silentleaf: skimming your last post, I got the impression you were drawing cutter in a pumpkin. Like, popping out of a giant pumpkin. That would be very...halloween-ish. And weird. And possibly very cool.
