Art and Elfquest / Re: Note to Pixel Artists (doll-ers)
« on: March 26, 2015, 01:42:08 PM »

I recommend we officially call Tynami's site the home of the EDA, as that site was made by a doller
and she's given her permission.

I'm not the only person who does EQ dolls.  I have no right to say or control over where people post dollz and figure it is a general free for all now that the eq.com option is off the table. 

I had a great time creating and bumping that thread, and wish to thank everyone who lurked, looked & especially those that participated.

I've posted my newest doll at Ty's site.

Please come join me there: http://elvenholt.twilightlegend.net
I hope we can continue to gather, share and enjoy EQ dollz in that new home for a long time to come.

Art and Elfquest / Valentine's Gifts
« on: February 14, 2010, 11:26:51 AM »
Valentine Gifts from Nightsea to some of her online
dolling friends will start this thread.  

Please everyone feel free to give unexpected gifts to
other EQ fans here.  Anything EQ themed, Valentine's
Themed, etc. should be great.  Art, poems, links to
text stories even.

I don't think this thread needs to "finish" when the official
holiday of Valentine's Day is over...but rather be a place
we can drop off little tokens whenever.

These gifts are un-asked for, inspired by the one who
receives them in some way.  

Art of other's characters, someone's favorite canon character;
anything wonderful might appear.  Check back to see if
you are lucky enough to get a treat!

For starters:  My Valentine Gift to Embala:


Copper for Sweetwater:

Yereh for Foxeye:

All made on this base: http://celainia.com

Okay, I have not really understood the appeal of dolls ...Painting pixel by pixel is a little frustrating for someone who is used to using a brush!

Well, as somewhat of an explanation, dollz are a quite useful tool
for those of us who do not use a brush!  To create an image with patience and detail that actually looks close to a character we have in mind, (while perhaps being unable to sketch a humanoid character) is a revelation and boon of the internet!  Dollz offer different levels of creation ability to many, and learning to use image software, to shade in a 3-d fashion with a few colors, to use transparent backgrounds and other tricks can be quite an excersize in art education.  I find it is
also relaxing to work in pixel scale; I feel I have more control of
the overall work because it takes a different skill set than
trying to make a correctly proportioned figure by other means.
Sometimes dollz let folks with art handicaps overcome!

I am so happy to see new folks post dollz.  Windrider, Copper
and Sweetwater are seen with joy!

So here's my character named Wavecatcher
(personal character I named before he had a canon name-mate)
and my mer-elf Pearlshade:

Excellent first dolls, Wildfire and sgaana!  You should post those 2 to the dollz thread
http://www.elfquest.com/social/index.php?do=/forum/-5/elfquest-dollz/
at the Scroll of Colors and also join the new Elfquest Dollers Group
http://www.elfquest.com/social/index.php?do=/group/elfquest-dollers/  

I have a post full of resources to help with dolling...
including links to hundreds if not thousands of doll bases.  

Now that Foxeye got you started...please continue!

I did a new Nightsea on the Wayuki bases here, but please
do post your version of Nightsea also, Tynami.


<3 more dollz and dollers!

medium grey eyes, normal elfquest ears, long thin fingers (unwebbed),
smaller breasts

Attire: one necklace with 3  grey/black pearls on a string.

(use pink or lavender instead of grey to highlight),
red eyes (albino), pale skin, thinish

Name: Wavecatcher

Link to Images:  http://kat.of-the-night.com/EDA/wavecatcher.html

Birth-tribe: island/sea elf (land)

Appearance: black hair (side part, curled in toward face, above shoulder length),
dark blue eyes, tan skin (think Hawaiian)
Attire: sea shades + black (anything aquatic themed)

Skills: Water/weather talent

Personality: Intense + stubborn.  Slightly arrogant, but with actual compasion
underneath. 
Background:  He grows up on an island and helps the tribe with
his skills to avoid stormy seas and tropical weather disasters, so he gets
sorta full of himself and his role.  But he really does care about others
and he'll be the first to tell you so.  Once Nightsea knocks him down a
peg thru recognition, he mellows out nicely.
