Underwater Dance of Love

My entry for the 2008 Fan Art Calendar - the theme was "Favorite Moments". It did not make it in the actual calendar, but I'm happy either ways because it gave me a chance to draw Sunstream and Brill ^^
Let me tell you, it was very difficult to pick a "favorite moment" out of so many beautiful Sunstream & Brill scenes in "The Discovery". But in the end I chose their final swim together, with Sunstream in his WaveDancer shape, because I think it reflects perfectly their joy and the deep, ecstatic love they feel toward each other. *_*
This picture is important for me in many way. I think I've managed to capture what I see in Sunstream and Brill, the reasons that make them my all time favorite Elfquest lovers. On a sidenote it was also a challenge, because I wanted to see for myself if I could draw Sunstream in his WaveDancer shape (yup, I had tried to draw him last year too, in my 2007 Calendar Entry "When a Child is Born", but for some reason I was not happy with the way he turned out). I think after one gets used to it - to the spines and the bright colors alike - he looks kinda majestic...
Never I have worked so hard on a picture - and the amount of sketches on my desk proves it, I guess *snickers*. But as I said, I'm happy, because Sunstream and Brill mean a lot to me and this was my way of paying them tribute. Hence the high resolution of the image, because they deserve no less.
I hope you'll like this work of mine nearly as much as I loved drawing it ^_^
And now for the credits! A special thanks to Wendy and Richard Pini, for the spell-binding story "The Discovery", and to Steve Blevins for first drawing Brill as we know her.
