Decided to go with my first impulse this time around rather than agonise over it for ages and miss out on the vote entirely xD

Maggie, I think I accidentally sent you an email instead of a PM, sorry about that! But I'd like to be involved as well  ::)

Yavia's colour idea is very appealing to me!

Alternatively, a few years ago we did a collaboration piece - doing something like that would be interesting! But of course, that would require us to know who's participating up front and everyone would have to be on board with it (and adhere to deadlines) so it may be tricky

Greatest Moments would also be fun. Cue the discussion about what constitutes the greatest moments :lol It would be easier to plan than the above though.

That's a great idea! I'll try and do a few of the prompts, some of them are very appealing

Just voted but all the themes are great, so I'm excited regardless of which theme is chosen :D
A thought, maybe when people send in their submission, they should list the names of the characters used? Might be useful for the more obscure characters

I followed this live, and the music was pretty rad! The interview with the Pinis was interesting, as Yavia mentions, hearing about Wendy's starting point for drawing-whoaaaaa. Loved seeing the sketches of the horses!

The project itself - t's a bit too vague for me to fund it at this point. I hope it'll get made though, once they release a bit more information I might be interested.

Here he is! :lol


Think I might do another at one point, it feels like a great way to get some new input, especially if one is feeling a bit uninspired

Ohhhh thank you! I just rolled up a Sunfolk dude, this is going to be interesting :lol
One addition might be the face shape. Wendy did some heads with distinctive shapes at one point, at least for the ladies, could be a useful reference

Hey y'all, I've just been in touch with Maggie--she encountered some personal issues that delayed the process. Both the calendar and the poll for next year will be up soon, please be patient for a little while longer <3

Living Indoors could be very cute indeed! I'm torn, I have no idea which one is my favourite now xD

Ooooh Amberfox's "Encounters" idea is very good! That could be interpretated in a million different ways and a will automatically have a story element. Should go on the list in my opinion  :o

Homes and Landscapes would be great! Landscapes and Seasons have a fair deal of overlap as well, but the "seasons" aspect will probably come into play automatically
Would Landscapes be able to feature a character in the foreground as long as the background plays a significant role?

I don't personally have any new ideas (except for maybe combining some of them), voting on last year's themes/having a discussion instead would be fine with me.

I like the idea of considering popularity more than actual "screentime", someone like Vaya (while I'd love to draw her) does tend to get a fair bit of attention and might not fit the "lesser-known" qualifier.

Also, I have no idea how useful this is, but I made a Google Sheet with a bunch of characters semi-sorted by tribe/family relations/species. It's by no means exhaustive, there's so many characters  ::) A bunch of them have profiles on the official Elfquest site, but not all.
I've marked some of them with red (too well-known in my opinion) or yellow (might be too well-known), feel free to add characters, write notes or mark red/yellow as y'all like.

(There's some Final Quest names in there, just fyi for the folks who haven't read it) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oNf0k5yzkN_aQI5Wxqyer4wWoY8M3cuRhqhkm4WT3GA/edit?usp=sharing

Lesser-Known is a great choice! It allows for a lot of creativity and mixing with the other themes.

The "what is a lesser-known character" is more tricky of course.
Background unnamed Sunvillagers and Go-Backs seem a given, but would someone like Vaya be too well-known? She's named and had lines, but was only part of the comic for idk one issue. Same with Ahdri, more prominent than someone like Minyah, Rayek's parents or Yurek, but far less so than Leetah or Savah.
The old Wolfrider chiefs (and a lot of their tribemates) are named and have personalities, but are still pretty obscure imo, except for Bearclaw. Same with most of the Gliders and Go-Backs
 
Would including well-known characters in combination with lesser-known characters be allright? Fx. lot's of people know Treestump and Dewshine of course, but Rillfisher is fairly obscure, so would an illustration of Rillfisher with one or both of them fly?
I'm not sure how one would ensure that 1) the illustration doesn't become primarily about the well-known characters and 2) that the lesser-known character will be recognizable enough on their own.
If artists are required to submit a description with character names the 2) might be a non-issue

Having an Anondraw would be fabulous, that would help a ton I think, especially for the more abstract themes. Plus, getting feedback if you get stuck is always good.


Re: the themes, I thought I'd make a list of those that have been discussed already and add a few of the ones I thought was interesting from last years.

Quote
Long Friendships

Creatures of Elfquest

Comedy

Lesser known characters

Through the Comics

Movieposters

Cliffhangers

Colors of Elfquest

Landscapes

Homes of EQ

Villains and Hero's

Evolution

Seasons

Otherness

Personally I'm the most fond of Long Friendships, Creatures, Colors, Otherness, and Movieposters (which could be very cool, but it would deviate from the "canon only" setting [anyone remember the SoC ElfWest alternaverse? It was fantastic to see characters in Wild West getups!])

I like all the ideas being tossed around but my original question was do you all want to submit ideas and vote as usual or should the theme be something that is discussed and decided by those who are participating?

Let me know if you have any thoughts on that as well.  ;)
I got completely sidetracked oops

I think having a discussion like above is good. It's easy to think that a topic will be great for everyone if it's not put to a discussion, and I rather like being able to narrow it down like that.
Looking back at some of the past polls, the 2019 has 7 options that got 1-2 votes and 50% of the themes in 2018 only got one vote each. Maybe it could be put to a vote at the end, but only between the top 3 themes that we've discussed and find agreeable? That way people who participate in the calendar but maybe doesn't want to participate in the discussion can still have a bit of a say

With a person I don't like. Who knows, maybe we have something in common? One of my best friends in high school was a girl that I definitely didn't like at first and vice versa. Regardless, having no company, no help, no nothing sounds awful.

My question: If you couldn't do (job/school) what you do now (for whatever reason), what would you do instead?

(re: Berits question about drawings coming to life, would they look like your drawing? This feels like a djinn's trap)

Elfquest through the comics - Draw Elfquest figures in another comic style/art.

This reminds me of the 2006 theme "Elfquest Through the Ages" which was an *amazing* theme, I'd love to do something similar again! Shifting styles is difficult though but it would be a fun challenge.

Straight up comedy isn't my favourite, but that's mostly cause I'm not terribly funny lmao.
I agree with Afke that the more abstract themes are great. Creatures would be interesting.

I'm personally still really fond of the "The Colours of EQ" and "The Landscapes of EQ (This will include characters interacting with the landscape)" from the 2019 poll :D
