ElfQuest Fan Art

I´ve used a screentone for the background here. I originally planned to screentone the whole comic, but since it´s as much work as coloring I´ve left that out for now.
Heh, yeah, Foxtrail is one to get suspicious over people who are kind to him. He takes it as some kind of pity and gets annoyed for not being taken seriously. He also doesn´t like to be touched, like being hugged or cuddled. Anyone he counts to his family isn´t included of course, he enjoys their touch and kindness plenty. This quirk makes kindness kind of a privilege, like he "allows" people he likes to be kind with him. xD

Yep, everything on this comic is digital. I have a huge fable for screentones and would totally do traditional works with them as well... if it didn´t mean to sell my soul. Fortunately they work just as well digitally and are much less steep that way. I´ve used them in several of my digital works and for some I´ve even created my own digital screentones before (which is quite easy and looks so good), since the choice of background screentone scans is quite limited.

I made this introduction mostly because these are no canon characters and people out of Oakleaf Holt are not familiar with them and their story, but I still wanted that audience to be able to follow everything. I´ve seen introductions like this in most Doujinshi (japanese fan-comics) and found it makes perfect sense to tell the time, setting premises, selection of characters as well as getting the reader into the right mood for the following short-story.
