Description Elfquest was such a big inspiration for me as I grew up, so sometimes I just get a craving to draw the characters again.

I tried to get the colours a bit similar to how I remember seeing them in my old graphic novels.

I really adore the coloring style. This was probably one of the first pairings I shipped, even though I was way too small to even understand what that means. xD But you certainly did them justice, very nice work!

Thank you!

It was one of my first pairings, too. Elfquest was really a treasure trove of pairing options, though, now that I think about it.

you absolutely nailed this! Not only are the proportions spot on, you also captured each character's personality. Indie comics owes so much to Wendy and Richard Pini and the whole Warp Graphics family. Nice to open up the page and find a piece of my youth.

Now that I think about it, my kids are old enough to read these without destroying them... I guess it's time to pull them out of storage.

Thank you so much! I agree, WaRP was something entirely different. It really opened my eyes up to how comics could be done.

Oh man. Your kids are in for a treat.

This gives me warm nostalgic fuzzies.

So cute and tender. I love Leetah's sparkly nightgown, and the dark lighting is amazing. Such a contrast between them...

Gorgeous.

Oh man.... I haven't read those in at least ten years... I saw this in my inbox and I was like, "Hang on, that was Cutter" /instant nostalgia I think I need to read these again...

Gorgeous, by the way, as always.

Thank you so much! It's been so long since I drew anything elfquesty that I was actually worried that my style wouldn't work with it anymore. It's nice to know that it still looked okay.

Well, you've got the basics (large eyes, tiny man-waists) and that makes it possible for you to add your own mojo c: You inspired me to upload my nightgown-Leetah cosplay haha! Thank youu

The nightgown you made is gorgeous! I wish I had seen your photo before drawing Leetah. That would have saved me from having to imagine all the folds in her clothes.

Really beautiful! I love the contrast in their coloring.more prominent than in the comics I think, but I think this is better. I love your painting style

Linnpuzzle In reply to Kynamh [2013-05-10 17:12:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. The contrast is a bit on purpose, because I simply love the contrast in color the characters have. I think you're right that it's darker than it was in the comic, though.

passingfancyrae In reply to ??? [2013-05-10 16:48:46 +0000 UTC]

It's very soft and lovely. I like that you made her hair more wavy than curly. All those tight curls all the time must have been murder to maintain. This makes her seem more relaxed and peaceful. I lov Cutter's expression. Just...joy.

Linnpuzzle In reply to passingfancyrae [2013-05-10 17:11:47 +0000 UTC]
