ElfQuest Fan Art

Eventually arrived. Took some time, even though print on demand should be fairly quick... it's all digital these days, but whatever took Zazzle/shipment.
Quality is okay, the parcel's contents received a few minor dents from shipment. And some parts were cut off by printing alingment. (From the upper rim a relatively small band of pixels is missing.) The coil still goes right through the lower image. Well. Whatever.
So it was good to print metadata on the last page's backside.
Apart from the mentioned things it looks pretty good.
One might think about a 20 pixel mat/frame of e.g. pure white within the 3300x2550 range, since they'll cut it off or break the coil holes through it, anyway.
Oh, and the hole for the nail, it's in the middle and roughly 1 cm from the top. So we shouldn't have any relevant image content there, either. ^_^

I nearly missed it since I think it was only announced via IG, and I very rarealy check these "social" media platforms. It was rather blind luck.
There is a project to fund an "audio movie" (audio drama, in German likely "Hörbuch") with different voice actors and music. I do not know how far any imagery will be involved.
There is an announcement video (I downloaded it an ffwd. it to check for a specific info but didn't have the time to listen to it in full) on http://www.elfquest.com/audio-movie
(checking the link, the news announcement is now finally also on eq.com)

I already sent an email to an enterprise behind the crowd funding and got informed that images of the announced miniatures are going to be revealed in a not too far future. Moreover, it seems that,
starting with April (?), there will be a crowdfunding with more backer options for every level of purse.
Along with audio-movie and tin? resin? PLA? figures there is an option for a poster with new art and I think some early bird supporter basecap.
The funding seems to run via gumroad.

It should be roughly midnight now in some Amercian timezone(s). That means it's ElfQuest's 40th birthday. And thus also the reason for this site - and the reason why some of us started with art, or were at least influenced by it.

Happy birthday ElfQuest! And hopefully good years to come.

And maybe with schedules being less tense after FQ is through, there will be time for relaxed storytelling with a line of beauty added once in a while.
I'll be sending out Rayek now to deliver some greetings.

Hello folks

Without a specific occasion but do you think it is scary how sometimes artists (or other people) seem to just vanish from the net? Without a trace or message. I just noticed some people having been inactive on several accounts. Nothing showing signs of moving, job change, health issues or something, just gone. And then sometimes gone for a long time. Some people even seemed lively and all fine and then suddenly you never heard / read of them again.

Good to have an EQ artsite back!
Is there any implementation of SSL/TLS for login or entry of email adresses etc. planned?

*sigh*
I should really consider trying to do some EQ art...


That's all for now.
