Elfwood updates, etc.
17 years ago
Happier entry, as promised . . .
First, something that was perhaps inevitable. Equally inevitable, is the fact it's yet another incomplete work-in-progress:
http://www.elftown.com/stuff/http%3.....t_InkWIP-2.jpg
Only new here is that I decided to make him an author, too. Why not? The name of his book is <i>Those Darn Humans *a memoir*</i>. And he seems to have gotten it published, too!
Anyway, as promised, way-belated Elfwood updates. You've probably seen all of these at one time or another. Any and all are welcome to comment---this is a dusty gallery (staying in true Elfwood fashion) and I tend to get more anonymous trolls than actual intelligent comments (again, staying in true Elfwood fashion!) but if you want to comment there you might be happily surprised to see some of the results of Elfwood's revamp. I know I am.
Without further ado . . .
FANQUARTER---this ticket took WAY too long to process (about 40 days) especially when considering I credit everyone who needs to be credited. Whoops, forgot to credit the maker of the game "Simon". Um, oops?
If you remember the Elftown Trunk Dragon Contest, you remember this one. I think both Trunky and the silly red dragoness (who needs a name) deserve another picture together without the added "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" stuff, but we'll see. If I can fulfill my New Years resolution to actually COMPLETE a lot of my unfinished artwork, then I might be getting somewhere. Otherwise it's on the massive "to-do" list for time immemorial, as it were.

FANTASY/SF&F ---this ticket was reviewed and processed in less than a week! Wow . . . I guess to compensate, Elfwood has FanQuarter moderators do their thing at a pace slower than great-grandma at the mall at 7 AM. (That, or they simply don't have enough of them . . . )
Anyway, here we go (oldest to newest, roughly:

Pauly the Anthro-Dragon and Ultraviolet . . . the titular character of her designer, Cassandra Gunn AKA Ultraviolet! Knowing how frisky and playful these two are, things could stay, um, cheeky---or get entirely too smoldering for Elfwood. I know I can do a far better job with UV, and still kick myself for messing her up so much. I intend to do another pic at some point, most likely R-rated but too shocking. http://www.ultravioletnet.com/ In any event, to give her better justice than I did in this picture. Assume this picture was set in the decade-plus before Pauly started seeing (and then got married to) Kathy the Anthro-Dragoness, though K-the-AD certainly isn't the jealous type.
"Whistle While You Work?"
Yep, you've seen it. Pauly the Anthro-Dragon being his typical self without (for once) being hyper about it. Quite possibly the most definitive completed pic of him so far. He visits his friends on Patrick Reichel's world, Rulus, and generally causes controllable chaos. Recent pic by Patrick Reichel, AKA ReptileCynrik. This guy is REALLY REALLY good!: http://reptilecynrik.deviantart.com.....Of-It-70403675 I could learn a bunch of things from this guy.

"Where's Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello?"---this pic introduced Patrick the Anthro-Dragon despite being loaded with innuendo both blatant and subtle. Part of the pleasure of sunbathing is reveling in the delight of your lover/girfriend/wife/whatever wearing next to nothing. Of course, any time children are present such thoughts and feelings must be covered up as much as possible though there's always a Freudian slip or three, which go right over the children's heads unless of course they aren't little kids anymore and get embarrassed by the old geezers making saucy indirect overtures to each other :P

Heehee . . . this one needs no description. *chuckle*

Most recent Halloween pic, too recent to bother describing. Oddly, I've yet to post the poem on Wyvern's Library. Is that not ironic? I'll have to correct that ASAP and update my long-neglected Wyvern's Library page.

And, finally, the Kathy the Anthro-Dragoness character reference sheet. Grawwawwr! Most likely not going to bother with the "size difference chart" for my ref pic chart, and Patrick's red pic chart. The cramped space is truly a pain (mostly, hand-cramp) and the comparison deserves its own full-sized picture. One of my co-workers says her loincloth makes her seem androgynous, because apparently female characters need shorter loincloths than male characters. Well, suppose there's a big gust of wind? Bah.

Yep, you've already probably seen some/most of that. Why don't you go thre and leave a comment with a link to your own stuff (if applicable), if you are so inclined? I think anything reasonable to increase interest in Elfwood might be a good idea.
Just for fun, as a bonus, here's something my wife Kathy---who says she is a complete non-artist---sketched a little earlier without using any references. I have frequently encouraged her to express her creative soul. I think this sketch is pretty damn good. If you grew up Roman Catholic and went to an older-style two-row church, you recognize this right away though using this route has fallen out of favor (or so Kathy tells me---I no longer consider myself Catholic as I disagree too mmuch with basic Church doctrine.)
