I'm crazy. A part of me REALLY want to draw a pin up of The Bone Woman...

Oh gods, why did I mentally start scribbling a sketch of her when I read your comment...

Tevokkia · « **Reply #551 on:** January 11, 2012, 04:15:49 PM »

Still struggling with poor Zarhan ... I've rejected five action poses today alone. But at least the other two poses are finished!

Honestly, I hadn't looked at the BoTC comics for a long time (I tend to re-read the short story anthologies instead), and had I remembered how much I disliked the costume design of his one and only appearance, I may not have claimed him knowing that I would have trouble with the clothed pose.

It's the pants. I can't get his legs to look right in those pants no matter what I have them doing. *cries*

Hopefully I'll be able to settle on something by the end of tomorrow so I can get him done and move on to something else.

EDIT: Apparently all I needed was some public venting so that my brain could concoct something usable. Working on lines now.

Ugh, when I read YOUR comment, mine did the same.

.... we should have a Bone Woman pinup challenge after this is over. XD

nilla · « **Reply #553 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:11:09 PM »

Oh god.
I'm so sorry.

I do think it's going to stick on the mental plane.
*Actually goes looking a picture of Bone Woman*
Because I doubt I can actually draw some that ugly.
*Twitches violently, and laughs nervously*
Um...Why did my hand just find a blank piece of paper and my pencils?
HELP!

That's why it would be a challenge.

Basically what makes Bonewoman ugly is her nasty character. I've had so many comments from people saying I make trolls look pretty and lovable, but that's mainly because I make them... smile.

Larialoyla · « **Reply #555 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:38:25 AM »

Afke is the queen of trolls!

You do make them lovable, why not try the same with the Bone Woman? I'd love to see that sketch!

Startear · « **Reply #556 on:** January 12, 2012, 02:43:56 AM »

I actually don't think she is that ugly, physically. Sure, she wouldn't win a beauty contest, however it is more her narrowmindness, plotting and accusations which makes her less than apealing to be with.

Sexy pose would be quite challenging though.

BTW, was she exiled after what The Thief did?

Yah, I know. That's why I'm actually going to do it.

Hmmm, if she still had any high standing in the tribe, she might have been allowed to stay. Tho, if Olbar isn't worried about her 'powers/ranting' anymore he'd likely kick her out for her actions.

Found this on mosquitonet:

Quote

It is uncertain what happend to the Bone Woman, but it is assumed she was either killed or banished as Nonna took over her position.

Personally, I think she was either killed or banished.

Treefox · « **Reply #558 on:** January 12, 2012, 10:26:25 AM »

I am definitely looking forward to that outcome!

However, I also think that she was at least banished. She was nowhere to be seen, when Cutter re-visited Nonna and Adar. Not that this must mean anything...

Startear · « **Reply #559 on:** January 12, 2012, 12:56:36 PM »

You know, she might have lost her "name" so to speak, if it was known that she had fingers to play at Thief's plan to become chief. Not sure it was ever discovered, bit hard after he died. But even so, I think spreading "blasphemy" which the rest of the tribe may see it after the proof is probably a serious crime among them. Even if they believed it prior to Cutter and Skywise coming and proving it "wrong."

Another thing, Thief, was he like the widowed woman in "A Man Called Horse" if anyone of you have seen that movie? A scavenger whom grows weaker and weaker, to eventually die in the harsh winter, or forced to flee in exile?

Hm.

I know what will be what I'll write at Monday.

Tevokkia · « **Reply #560 on:** January 12, 2012, 07:42:03 PM »

I'm actually going to do it too... after I finish Zarhan and a couple of other pieces I have deadlines on.

nilla · « **Reply #561 on:** January 13, 2012, 03:29:33 AM »

I got mine done last night.*facepalm* She was oddly easy to draw.

silentleaf · « **Reply #562 on:** January 15, 2012, 07:07:25 PM »

I am waiting excitedly for the new calendar

Foxeye · « **Reply #563 on:** January 21, 2012, 12:22:01 PM »

2013 is live!

http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?action=fanartcalendar;week=1;year=2013

I should have the physical version ready by the end of the weekend.

Treefox · « **Reply #564 on:** January 21, 2012, 12:26:21 PM »

GRAAAAAAAAAHHH! I've been like checking every five minutes this past week! Oh YES! YES! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I have to go and swoon now.

branchscamper · « **Reply #565 on:** January 21, 2012, 01:57:41 PM »

OMG! You guys don't even know how excited I am that this is live! And I have to run to work RIGHT NOW...WHY??!!?? I will come back and comment like crazy because WOW JUST WOW

Sorry for all the caps. Can you tell I'm excited?

Startear · « **Reply #566 on:** January 21, 2012, 02:28:14 PM »

Ayyyoooaaaahhh!

Treefox · « **Reply #567 on:** January 21, 2012, 02:54:47 PM »

You guys are the best! How can this be that we have seen so many pinups and still there are no repetitions and every entry looks so unique and wonderful? Thank you, all of you! Thank you Foxeye and Windrider for putting this together. *goes back to look some more*

Maggie · « **Reply #568 on:** January 21, 2012, 03:15:07 PM »

I think 2013 might top 2012...it's so full of wonderful characters. Nice work everyone.

Startear · « **Reply #569 on:** January 21, 2012, 03:40:02 PM »

Treefox, if you're on your computer, please upload your bonus art for us to glee over.

Windrider · « **Reply #570 on:** January 21, 2012, 04:31:05 PM »

I think I need to take a break from formatting these calendars, because I am starting to see pinups in my dreams!

I updated the character list in the second post on this thread. Everyone is now color coded as to what year they are in. For 2014 we have maroon-brown for those that are done and red for those who are still in progress. Yellow means that character still needs an artist, if that artist can get a pinup or bonus art done in two weeks!

So, everything for 2014 needs to be to me by Feb 4 or 5th. I can't believe the sheer amount of creativity displayed in this project, but this is the home stretch now! So far we are only half way there to a 2014 calendar!

I could do some bonus art for Redlance and another character if you'd like.

Tevokkia · « **Reply #572 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:16:04 PM »

These are amazing, guys! I can't wait to see 2014. Still need to run through and leave comments on things ...

... on that note, Zarhan is almost done. I'll have him ready around Tuesday.

Frozenleaves · « **Reply #573 on:** January 22, 2012, 02:23:50 AM »

I'm totally stunned by all the wonderful calendar art

Rosalie · « **Reply #574 on:** January 22, 2012, 07:05:09 AM »

I like to take Sefra. I love drawing the long lines of the high ones bodies.
The calendars look awesome btw! So many different stiles, it's really fun to look at.
