ElfQuest Fan Art

Sarah Lain's character in Holt of Grand Illusions. Sky is one of our resident plantshapers. Friendly, open, and steady, Sky tends to befriend everyone.

*not a spoiler*

A speculation about the future: Skywise and Suntop return to Abode after centuries in the Palace, during which they have become nearly High Ones. They find that you can't go home again.

This was done before I worked on Full Circle and I didn't know anything about how Suntop would l…

Sam: I thought that Elves look erm... different...
Frodo: Hey? Mister?.. We should go to Mordor. Look, we've even got the Ring.
Cutter: No-no-no, you should go to hell! Tolkien's elves live in the neibourhood forest!

This was a drawing I did for Stargazer (Paper Ghost here) for the secret santa exchange on the Scroll of Colors forum.

Another family protrait for Shadow Vale. This features Reedwood (Shannon Menhart) and her cubs Cloudclimber (Miriam Loomis), and incorrigible flirt Echo (Shannon Menhart). Dad's missing because I didn't have a CIS or reference illo of him at the time.

More old stuff. This was done for Shadow Vale Holt and features Laurey Sebok's main characters and offspring. Nightwish the firestarter is the mother of Blackfawn the warrior. Blackfawn is the mother of the gentle Fox, and Fox is the mother of the young Holly. I thought it would be fun to draw a gro…

SPOILER ALERT FOR CHIEFTESS SORREL!

Illo for Chieftess Sorrel's story in her holt, Three Holts Alliance. This is Sorrel's mother, Bisonhide, and the story tells of a sad past. Bisonhide was captured and tortured by another elf. The evil elf and crew lived in stone huts, so I tried to draw something…

Another oldie but goodie. A member of my holt, Holt of Grand Illusions, had a long running page in each issue called Truestar's Corner. Truestar is his main character, and it would be brief comments or observations the character would make. This one was about preservers (obviously), and his attempt…

Old illo I did for Shadow Vale Holt (run by Laurey Sebok). They had a sudden outbreak of kids (fledglings?) among the Eyrians, so I thought I'd draw them together, exploring the outside world for maybe the first time. Imagine being surrounded by butterflies and lighning bugs (fireflies). The Eyrian…

Holt of Grand Illusions' chieftains and soul brothers, Amberfox and Desertmoon, take a break to dance in the moonslight. Amberfox plays his lute, Desertmoon (sans obnoxious black and white checkerboard shirt) plays the pan pipes. Someday I'll get around to coloring this one.

Amberfox is my characte…

Troll mump Mugwart has befriended elf captive and slave Twilight. When Mugwart realizes there are other elves loose in the troll caverns, he seeks them out and asks them to please take his friend with them. Story illustration for Shadow Vale Holt, story written by Jen Seago.

I don't recall offhand…

Another oldie (sorry, I'm working on new stuff - really!). Illustration for the month of July in Holt of Grand Illusions' calendar. This one predates the other one by a year. Same rule applied for this as well: at least one character per member with a birthday in that month. So, left to right: Hover…

Look Afke!  TROLLS!

Okay, they're not especially nice trolls, but I dug this old gem up. Story illo for Shadow Vale Holt, written by Jen Seago (I think). Clip, the elf on the ground, is a regular visitor to the local troll warren and strikes up trade and gambling games with some of the locals. Mush…

Story Illustration for Janett Beasley's story, "This Is Going to Be Good," in Holt of Grand Illusions. Thorn contemplates all that she has been through after meeting Slash; Slash is contemplating his reunion with Holt of Grand Illusions' residents Frostborn and Freeheart. Slash had made less than a…

Aura Moser's character and his bond eagle in Shadow Vale Holt, The Eyrian. The Eyrian are much like the Blue Mountain elves, replete with their own Winnowill. This is a story illo I did a while back for Jen Seago.

My poor, poor Trill ... And in life he suffered ... I drew his crooked ... Had suffered a guy ... )))
And all because of the fact that he has no brains. The heart and courage eat... no brain))))

Not canon. Dahry... a lot of hair ... Well a lot ... After her hair, my hand ached 4 days ... But what a beauty))))

at least in dreams he can be with his love that could have been.

i happen to have a thing for native looking men with long black hair, hmmhmm anyway! enjoy!

This is actually my 1st drawing of my 1st character for my 1st Elfquest holt (her name translates as Dreameye).

I don't have the original anymore 'cause I send it to the holtleader; it was a snailmail based holt, we'd get newsletters every once in a while. I didn't even have an email addy yet (and…

This one is an old picture (from 2002) I came across when looking for drawings for the challenge, but I actually still quite like this one.
Did a horrible coloringjob on it myself, but noticed I didn't color the original linework. I was wondering if someone here might wanna give it a try?

Traditi…

color - my association with each hero.

Surge is such fun to mess with. A pain to draw though with all those fins...



Surge (and the codpiece) (C) Wendy & Richard Pini

So, continuing for a while with the requested characters, these are Deerprance and Darklance, also RPG charas. The bimbo and the brooding guy. Nice contrast to draw, I know they are pretty much over the top. Well, especially Deerprance, her top seems to burst any minute...  
Oh, and the pink-thing…

From the top of the tree:
Willow, Nightstorm, Cloudfern
(wolves: Spirit and Silverbite)

One-Eye fighting mountain trolls. Except in my version, he lives. Suck it, canon!

So... this is kind of old school. I've actually had this sketch in rough form for several years and I kept holding onto it because I wanted to eventually do something with it. So here we are.

2022 Fan Art Calendar: March

Wanted to draw a pose seen in HY 20, ended up making a minor story about it. Takes place after Beyond lost part of his foot, so he's good and cranky and he's been ordered to stay in bed.

The lady behind him is named Sha and is one of his bedmates.

I love these long lean body types... especially when they're paired with a round and squishy one, like Maleen and Ruffel, or Venka and Tyleet.  I built off Dove and Windwhisper/Mountain Tamer using each other's soul names in one of their stories, and had them be lifemates, although they both also ha…
