ElfQuest Fan Art

My second attempt at prismacolors, armed with a newly-acquired green! marker.  Stilll didn't have the right colors for Tyleet, but we never did see the colors of this outfit from the Recognition story, so, um, call it artistic license.

The logo lady!

Dewshine in the "Recognition"-era outfit. Just cuz.

She sat up on the ledge, her heels carefully nudging the leather wall of the den.

...

Shale's howl ended in a high pitched yelp as a small rock hit him in the stomach.

"You aren't so bad yourself,"Eyes High said blandly. She ignored the Treestump's scowl and the snickers coming from the other yo…

The elves gathered together their belongings and followed the pair of elf-boys. Though dark, morning was not far away. They had precious little darkness in which to move before any beast that was about could see them through the open country. Their path wound through low brush and crevices, and some…

They followed a deer trail laying their feet as quietly as they could. The men knew that they were only two in the dangerous forest, even if it was in their natures to give way to merry thoughts. Shird eventually guided them up a hill, out of the tree line, to where he suspected pop berries would gr…

"Redmark and Pike were both trying to help Foxfur with her satchel, the two elves struggling with a tangled strap. Their own satchels lay unattended.

"Foxfur twisted her pretty shoulders to look down at the boys' hands. "I think you have made it worse," she murmured. "

"Crescent lay back on the furs with a thump, a smile of rapture on her face. As she thought, she stretched her legs up, straight and perpendicular to her back. She widened her toes and wiggled them. Reaching up with her fingers, she hung onto the biggest toe of each foot, feeling the long stretch do…

"Moonshade's eyes were full of light, laying a garment of love upon Crescent as surely as if she had tanned, cut, and sewed it. She pulled them into the shade after her, then with an arm around each, guided them toward their den."

"An indignant twitch straightened Crescent's back. **A likely excuse! Bearclaw does not think! **

"Moonshade bent down to take the scraper from her daughter's hands, dark hair tumbling in Crescent's face like the wings of dark birds.

"**Such judgements from a young girl!**"

"Her skin was not so numb yet that movement of the water around her knees and calves was undetectable. Just so, the rain clouds made the sky dark, but not entirely black. It was with the slightest of night glows and the barest of touches that she focused. Under the gyrations of the surface were othe…

"**You are missing out on so much fun!** With Eyes High's sending Crescent could sense Pike's mind-touch as well, and she smiled. **Longreach is telling a story about Bite and his wolf Bluerump...we're laughing so hard we sound like migrating geese.** Crescent saw and felt through Eyes High that Lon…

"Hair and leathers lay heavy on her frame. She swayed with the gait of the wolf she rode. He was running hard, urged on by the energy of her elf-friend. Though she and her burden were heavy with rain, Windchaser was a fast wolf, and her rider was a slip of an elf-child. No human could have seen them…

*sigh* I don't know if I'll ever finish this drawing of Nightfall and Redlance, but the sad thing is that this little WIP is one of the best things I've ever done as fan art for EQ. Keeping it here to remind me to finish this one day.

Another shot of adult Crescent wearing the outfit I designed in the earlier picture. She hath inherited her mother's bosom.  *nod sagely*

Leetah...doing something that causes her skirt to act in that odd way. Nevermind her hair isn't moving with it.  I dun care...I was in it for the shiny.

My favorite Leetah outfit, from book 2, when she went tassle-crazy.

Strongbow's mum. My choice of colors, since we never saw Wendy colors. Being perverse, as I tend to be, I decided to give her silver-gray eyes because that would make her totally not like her son. I like it when elves aren't just little xeroxes of their parents.  

And the second version of my Elfquest elf-self. Her skin darkened because I decided that in temperment I am most like a jack-wolf rider than any other sort of elf...aka, a wanna-be wolfrider. I indulged myself in some faux-importance and decided that Yereh the jackwolf rider was the offspring of Bow…

Pale-skinned version of my elf-self.  

And my rare rare foray into non-digital coloring. I only had 4 prismacolor pens to use.  

Newstar, often called the "elfiest of all elves", is a wolf-blooded elf who grew up from a very young age with the immortal and agrarian Sun Villagers. She has become a Sun Villager in every way but for the mortality that her blood brings.

We never saw very much of her, but in one story where she…

Story behind this one....hrm, well, artistically it was one of those odd pieces that just grabbed me, made me love it, and wouldn't let go. Though I did get crosseyed about the time I had to do the leaves, so they look a bit like foxeye-shmoo.  But I still love this piece.

And why? Well, colors for…

Backstory...my dad liked ElfQuest too.  I was muchly-pleased that I had one parent that was able to get into my hobby, so when he asked me if I'd draw *him* as an elf (as I did for myself and my friends), I was delighted. He still has the picture I drew for him up on his bulletin board in his home o…

I love the obscure characters of EQ, the unnamed crowds whose stories we never learn. This character, Windstone, did actually get to have a name. She appeared in the Forevergreen storyline, a sun villager who is also a warrior, so presumably she had been trained by Dart at some point.

Windstone led…

A thank-you gift for Joselle, and my favorite head-dress among Venka's many headbands.  I wish she'd had this one more, but I guess all those beads would have been a #!&@$!@ to keep drawing.

My girl. <3  

Crescent will always have a special place in my heart.

Played around with a water and fire element for this one.

Icemoon is such an awesome clothing designer. <3

The originall coloring of this was PINK.  Yeah, not so great.

Probably my favorite inker to color of all time, next to Wendy.

Russian fans have complained that I never pictured Leetah in its most beautiful dress. I hastened to correct it.

Rayek starts out Children of the World in the same outfit we know from the latter part of Kings of the Broken Wheel, but that gets abandoned somewhere in the wild woods of the New Land when Timmain has to save his tail from a human (https://www.deviantart.com/art/Children-of-the-World-III-p26-f…

Addendum to Mermay. This is the lnked Version of my contribution for the prompt: beached. It is my friend Vaeri as land elf Maiden together with my Sea Raider Blackfin. 🥰 Thanx a lot for the Computer coloration of so many pictures, Vaeri, you are cult!

a sort of moment form our RPGs, when Terra and Laluna were little, Moonshade adopted them and took good care of them both, Terra was always the muddy little devil who was always up to some mischief... Laluna on the otherhand, was clean, nice and calm... I just wanted to make a picture of them as cub…
