ElfQuest Fan Art

Oh, there she is! Very lovely! I think the contrast colors of the cloak balances the blues of the upper half of the illo. I imagine it couldn't be easy for her to be Bearclaw's lifemate, but she was devoted, loved him, and seemed to make it work. I realize so much work went into this and the focus is her, but I can't help but stare in awe of the jewelry and flowers. The jewelry has so much detail that it looks 3D and the flowers have a gorgeous art nouveau quality to them, almost ethereal. I think the use of blue in the shading on her skin was a good choice and is very beautifully done. I'd make it look like she was a zombie. You captured her calm, serene personality wonderfully. Another stunning addition to your portrait series! Not to push it, but I look forward to the next one, they're so amazing!

I think gold was a better, more appropriate choice mostly because gold seemed to be more common among the Wolfriders, elves in general, than silver. With silver, you might have been able to add more highlights to it adding a bit more color and life, but in the end, gold just seems more "correct." I imagine the butterflies took a long time, I could tell, and I bet it took forever to color, too! The subtle colors of the background showing through their wings was well done. I am enjoying the series, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I am working on art to post, including finishing the original calendar submission that had to be scrapped. Maybe we can encourage more artists to be active!

I think I have said this before, but DAMN Treefox! Your Joyleaf is absolutely stunning! Her hair is so soft looking and those butterflies! The transparancy!  My favorite thing is her expression though, so pensive and I Wonder what Bearclaw has done now. I am so glad you let us take part in this!
