ElfQuest Fan Art

lol thanx a lot!
Yes you say it!

My, thanx so much! Wow I have a fan! YAY!
"and it seems a lot of time and effort as well."
Yes indeed! It cost me too much time , which I lack now in mermay, gasp! but ok, won`t get every day a merpicture done, I need 2-3 days for one.
"The triton sucks poster is just too funny"
heh heh, the running gag for this mermay
"did Polly "muck up" the A?"
Yes, the A has been gummed up with snail slime

thanx,
he invades the Sea Raiders , he was sent by king Triton to avenge his mom. But a few women from the Elf Nation (Sea Raiders High Sea Nation) dissuade him, and the elves try to teach him their way of life.

"But then I realized, he had too much personality to be Eric."
Good one, LOL! Thanx so much for all the praises!
"  Difficult angle on the body to draw and make it look right"
Oh yes, this was a dtiys-contest of an Ariel picture, and she made this annoying spine twisting on the picture. I have not drawn Areias in the same position as her, but similar.
And feet, yes I think I can handle them, one of the most difficult things of anatomy for me are hands and the male chest from above , side and backside.
I highly recommend Hero Forge.com for anatomy studys, you can turn the models as you like ,you can have different sights and make advanced poses on the models. Areias design is totally based upon Hero Forge, I so love to play with it.

" I can't imagine how you can manage to do so much art in so short of time"
because I simply can`t , I post here every day 1-2 pictures but they are not drawn all now. Many are from older times.
"The menu is hilarious, but somehow tempting...The photo shooting sounds a bit ominous, especially for anyone living in the US.  "
Ok, ominous?   I lend this sentence from an old pirate song: "fifteen man on the deadmans chest" , I thought that this allusion would be recognizable.
"Keep  up the amazing work!"
Thank you, yes I will!

Oh I forgot: That Ariel thing: ".. you might be joking about it,"
Yes I did, but I don`t take the Ariel movie for serious and btw, that sentence with "King Triton sucks"   that was said by the Sea Raiders, they can`t stand him and his pesky kingdom which is so in their way , when they are  on the tuna trail. And they like to involve these stupid Atlanticans in skirmishes every now and then. LOL

Thank you so much! Oh my, I would love to make a comic book, but the lack of time being a mom  makes it not realizable. And you know, I only want to draw my own OC`s, grin. So far I finished one 3-pages comic of my Sea Raiders, but this will comes later at another day. Also I think comics, which are limited to few pages are realizable, when they become to long as a story, they will be begun and die a slow death, there are already 2 comics waiting to be finished...but not now, now it`s Mermay and everything else is put aside (my, my poor household gets more and more dirty , sigh!) .

" Yeee certainly seems to be having a grand time, but she seems to either be doing that or being really grouchy. "
Exactly, she has a grouchy temper . the Sea Raiders have a rather rough tone and here they joke and laugh crude.  Yes she has a very good time.
"The guy in the background with the hat has my attention, too bad I don't have a merelf (or a pirate, for that matter)! "
Lifting his new "found" hat in front of Amberfox , He  says charmingly: May I introduce myself: Keyar, but most of them call me Silver: completely gentleman, respectable and trustworthy, it is an honor and a pleasure, my dearest.", he holds out his hand to her. Yeee: "Careful, Amberfox, if you have rings on your fingers, now is the time to get rid of them." she throws a warning glance towards him. He grimaces and imitates Yeee: "yadda yadda yadda!" Yeee rants at him : "Now getaway , you scoundrel!" ...
It seems , you have already a merelf...him...but it seems you would like to have a merelf for yourself to play, right?
" The Triton-esque male doesn't look particularly pleased with the events; maybe he is STILL waiting to be served ("Service is lousy under the sea!").  "
Lol, "Triton-esque male" is good, Yeee introduces him to Amberfox: "My right hand, my protector, my confidante, my hero: Sharuk, first guardian of the Sea Raiders,  I can fully rely on him." With his typical scowl, he only nods briefly in greeting. Then he remembers his manners and he answers:  "This is self-service and I'll get my share, don't worry. " He points to a free place at the feed cannon, suddenly one next to Silver has become free (Silver grins broadly and waves Amberfox invitingly)...
Now, I have to go back to my drawings, I will go on reading and answering all those new comments tomorrow, bye!

thanx, Afke!

Thank you, Startear!

" I also love that Yeee isn't "conventionally" beautiful, I think it just makes her more interesting and allows her to "stand out."  "
thank you, actually I'm a bit bored of the Elfquest beauties a la Leetah and co. Somehow I don't like them. As is well known, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I personally like Vaya with her bushy eyebrows much better than this "model" Leetah, I don't think she is pretty at all. That will probably be one of the reasons why I draw the elf women (especially Yeee) a little more "hard" and not so gently,(  grin).

"As far as I see it, Yeee looks more annoyed at the viewer than at the octopus,"
She looks at the viewer yes but rather devious.

" I suspect my Runedance would be fascinated by her because of it."
Ok, interesting, lets see...

Thank you, yes it is a hummingbird

"Although the wrist closest to the viewer looks a bit off, but maybe it's swollen from the encounter with Yeee after he transformed her"
this should be the arm cubit (I hope the translation is correct).

"The scene...wish I could be there, looks toasty warm and comfy to me. "
It is as "tropical" as the prompt was.

"Wondering how they got that far up the beach and more how they're going to make it back."
They are crawling like seals.

" So many times I've hated the inked version when the sketch was perfect.  "
Oh yes, I know this feeling, especially when an error happened. Aaargh! Check HeroForge.com it is cool! and thanx a lot.

"Nope, the eyes still have it"
Grin, it`s that cocky expression, right?

" It looks like you used darker pencil lines for the shading around the eyes"
You can do that quite well, but this time I have used ink pens in different line widths.
Thanx, I won`t stop posting, grin.

MY Thanx a lot!
"Maybe it's to lift her heavy body for some relief from her pregnancy. "
Yes, absolutely, she is enjoying a little break between contractions.

"Never stated who dad is...Haken...I'm eyeing you! "
Heh heh, nope, this is long before she meets Haken.

Oh wow, yes!

" I was thinking storms and Yeee seem to be a theme; a hint of her personality? "
Oh yes!

"Maybe that's how she's able to deal with Haken!"
it goes with her grumbling towards him, but she doesn't dare to do more. He's a little too dangerous and he doesn't act really ass-like to her either. He only annoys her a little.

Lol, this is just a sketchbook and my daughter made the goofy mers, I should have written that. These are just doodles, nothing more.
I love to use color lines instead of black ones, but it takes more time. Thanx a lot!

Thanx, Amberfox! don't make yourself small, just post what you have drawn. I am not perfect and have my errors in the pictures here and there. 
I will post more of Yeee, guaranteed! grin!

oh my, I hope your QA time is over soon. Geez you are the first to call my elf lovely in this picture,lol. Thank you very much for the compliments, yay!  And yes, she is a force to be reckoned with. Not the nicest guy in the sea.

yay, thanx, my friend`s Sunfolk OC was sewing a tunic for Yeee and she tried it on this pic on her. lol
