Description Elfquest was the first comic book I ever read, and Elfquest fanart was some of the first relatively decent artwork I ever did. It's been more than a decade since I even read the books, and I decided to revisit them for the challenges I periodically participate in. I didn't let myself look at the characters until I finished the piece, so some details are off, but the fact that all of the characters are recognisable shows what an impression the series made on me. I need to hunt down copies and reread them.

Aside from a simple line drawing this is all digital. The moon texture was made from a photograph of a mossy stone temple that I had taken about a year back, and the background sky is a photo of a cloudy sky all photoshoppified. I meant to get more detaild textures on clothing and such as well, but I spent a good week and a half on this and I was starting to get tired of looking at it.

The outfits might be off, but the way you drew Skywise's clothes is awesome!
Coming from someone who, like you, had ElfQuest as the first comic I'd read (first thing I ever read on my own, actually) I am impressed on your accuracy considering the length of time it's been! WAY TO GO - ELFQUEST FTW!!!

I just realized that I lied to you... I did this so long ago that I forgot I didn't look...

Woo! Glad you like it!

I don't know why there isn't more Elfquest fanart, as it is the BEST COMIC BOOK EVER. Perhaps I shall have to draw more!

Thank you for the fav! *hugs*

Yeah, I think we all do Thanks for the watch...!

I'm also pretty lazy at updating DA... I usually add a new drawing every month or so...

You're writing a novel? Wow! What kind of novel? ^^

A very, very bad one... <_< With aliens, and the French Revolution. It's very bad... I think I said that. But it bears repeating.

November is National Novel Writing Month. ( [link] ) I keep trying every year... this year I might actually do it! *Dance of happy joy!*

French Revolution! ^^ I just watched an anime called "Rose of Versailles" (somewhere it's known as "Lady Oscar")... And I just fell in love with it, I'm a huge fan! And after that I've been really interested in French Revolution... I've been reading books and I went to see "Marie Antoinette", the new film... I'd like to read your novel someday! ^^
I'll bee cheering for you!!!!

After about fifty iterations of editing, maybe...

But thank you!

I've never seen the Rose of Versailles, but it's always intrigued me. Perhaps I shall go out and rent it...

^^ You really, REALLY should see it! While watching it, you can't but cry and laugh and love the anime. Though, please watch it with japanese voices!!!!!!!! It's so hard to take it seriosly, if you don't watch it with proper voiceactors... In the end, it IS 30 years old anime, and all the effects... Meaning glitter and all those roses... It's just hilarious xD

Don't worry, I always watch with the Japanese voices. Dubbing is a terrible, terrible thing.

I have a big soft spot for glitter and roses, one of my favorite animes is Utena and that one is full of that sort of stuff.

xD Well, then Rose of Versailles really IS your anime...! And don't forget all those handsome bishounen boys...
