Lovemates & Magic of ElfQuest ... The child is the link! Don't miss to take a look at Kat's Pixel Advent - more goodies!
Hmmm... I see a certain Redhead and her recognized mate - does this mean something special? ^^
Why is SKot upside down? Because his sphere was lying there this way? Or - more likely because Skot is the type for this ... he likes fun and a littke prank! ^^ Ember needed a second window for her adult self and together with her lifemate. Nice compliment for the couple, Wolfie! I understand what you makes think of Ekuar ... at one point he looked as lost and dying as this aged human in Winnowill's rear room. I wanted to find something special for him - and he wanted the candle. Kimo was such a tempting "example of magic" and the chance to add another wolf to my "magic collection". The missing two are Redcrest from Wavedancers and Wavelet from the Forevergreen - nothing in common besides being treeshapers. On the other hand ... I imagine her to be a redhead ... and you can imagine a certain family ressemblance. As far as I remember Wavelet was thoughtful in this situation.

Kahvi and Tyldak! I like these baubles, because they look so happy!
Vulture! I really like this background!
nice, but sad bauble of willowgreen! I really like the details in the background.

I've wanted a "special" environment for the human lovemates, Wolfie ... it became this well filled chest. Reminds me of a trunk ... a bonus for the wandering peacemakers. There's a reason why Ikopek got the heart ornament, Redhead. Cutter's nightmare ... and carefree Windkin in a star. The background makes it special for me, G0lden ... it almost shows speed. ^^
Kahvi and Tyldak had fun in the real EQ Lovemates Calendar - nice to know that this mood still shows in the Advent baubles. The background repeats the colorful red and yellow accents of the vulture, Wolfie ... couldn't have found something better. ^^ Of course this animal is not "bad" ... but ask Nightfall. And then there is Willowgreen's time to shine ...
Redlance healing an old Christmas tree ... I remamber how I've put this scene together to illustrate his magic and gentle character. A calm and almost tender scene ... thanks for giving it a moment in the spotlight, PC.

"The love of her life." Honestly, this is one of the couples that I base my theory that elves become lifemates when/if it just... feels right for everyone involved. They were together for so long, you could argue that they were lifemates, but it seemed like she never wanted to use that term, and he was okay with that. And I love how to her he was beautiful, just as he was.

Tyldak and Kahvi for the "Lovemetes" Advent calendar ... The vulture waiting for Redlance's death in the 12 Nights ... and a blonde in green duds - a healer indeed, G0lden, but not Mender. Yesterday's window is for Willowgreen. Now that you've guessed for Mender I realize that Willowgreen's coloring was much too tanned in this story!
I love your view on lovemating, lifemating and on this special couple, Redhead! I wholeheartily agree. Btw: in the thread is another BIG bauble with Kahvi and Tyldak coincidental posted simultaniously with their calendar pic.
The New Year greatings of 2011 - going with the "Magic of Elfquest" calendar:
At my corner of Germany we wish "Guten Rutsch!" at New Year's Eve - a "Good slide!" in the new year. Take the early greetings this way! Guten Rutsch!

The cute firestarter elf from the hidden years comic 2 ! I liked this guy, and he also lights the pine cone, how cute. Firestarting is a cool... er hot magic. One of my favourite elf-magic-abilities.

I think that's Zarhan. So, from BOTC no HY. I don't recall there being any firestarters in HY2, except from Savah lighting the lanterns.

And I see a royal family! (Oddbit is too busy trying on some new jewelry.)

Beautiful big bauble of Kahvi and Tyldak!! I love this color blue and the details it gives.
Aww a troll familie! Picknose, Oddbit and Trinket! I love that their background and baubles are of a darker color, which fits with the trolls!
Tree human children? It gives an eery feeling Nice baubles!
That does look like Zarhan! Very nice star shaped bauble! I love the soft colors. It really fits with the image!
This are the last baubles of 2020! I wish everyone a Healthy and happy New Year and I hope this one will be MUCH better then this one!

I'm a bit surprised that you have a hot spot for Zarhan Fastfire, Yeee. On the other hand - "explosive" temper is your thing. XD You got the picture language well Fastfire needed flames. ^^ Just for the records - his story is "Colors", issue #1 of Blood of Ten Chiefs.
... just as you've pointed out, Redhead. I like your hint that Savah's light magic is a possible variation of fire magic. You are so right about the royal family ... and Oddbit's obsession, Red!
Tyldak and Kahvi were just made for this glass bauble. Just the right "Let it Snow!" feeling! A dark cave for the Trolls, sitting together and waiting for the new year. And it's an old Troll tradition that the Queen gets a new jewel to adorn herself. ^^ More likely a human family if you speak of the 12 Nights, Wolfie - Aro, Thaya and their boy. I hope they found a waterhole and a better future. I want it. Zarhan is one of the Elves who dislikes to be banned into a usual bauble. He longs for something special. Happy New Year, Wolfie! May it start well and become better and better!

Happy New Year to you all, Elfquesties!
Fuck Yer , Covid! We all got vaccinated in 2021, so yer can`t get us! (we urgently need a "F+++ you" and a "puke" emoji)
"I'm a bit surprised that you have a hot spot for Zarhan Fastfire, Yeee. On the other hand - "explosive" temper is your thing." Yes, i am full of surprises, eh, Em? Yes, "explosive" temper is definitely my thing, heh heh.
btw got the idea for a new character or an old one revived and changed. based on the word "Zarhan", if "han" is the elfin word for fire.(hope so)
Where is the picture of the dressing up Leetah and Cutter from?

I sure wasn't expecting a family of cloudfish! But I suppose that's fitting; "cloudhead" turned into a cloudfish!

Very nice drawings, Tynami!!
Sunstream, Brill and Korafay! Awww, I love these images. TGhey are so cute!
Young Shuna with her birth parents! Their bauble skinda look transparent. I like the brown colors. I always felt bad for Shuna, but also her mom. Her fate is cruel.
Jink! four baubles in her background! Her backgorund looks really nice!

Happy New Year, Yeee! The "little star cousins" panel is from OQ #10 - after Cutter's reunion with his family. Must be the Donning coloring (oder Bastei Lübbe, falls dir das mehr sagt) - so much better than this cold greyblue Archives edition! Now I'm curious who this "Han" will be!
btw: so don't need a *puke" emoji! XD
Happy New Year, jaRf! May your wish come true for all of us. Definitely cutting wrapstuff ... I bet Petalwing was busybusy while Cutter and Leetah had a short rest! ^^
Happy New Year, Kat! *hugs and kisses* Don't worry about Barbie Advent - it's supposed to be fun, not stress! But it would be a pleasure to see more til valentines day! Rainthorwen's Christmas gifts for her Grandmas are great! I love the green shiny dragon queen on her hoard. Striking contrast against the dark limestone cave. What a lovely scene with the feeding colibri at he lakeside. The jumping frog is such a funny detail!
Well identified windows, G0lden! Happy New Year, G0lden. May it bring luck and health and love and wealth for you.
Heheheheee Cloudfish and family made my day, Redhead! Have a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Wolfie! Many good times for you, young friend. Korafay playing pufferfish was so funny - I was waiting for an opportunity to use this scene! *hugs* Even the most peaceful scene cannot hide the cruel truth about Shuna's youth. But she found love and growth in the end. Jink's jinking! Here and there and everywhere! ^^

Dart and Mender! Love 'em. And another tie-in to my previous mention about lifemating; notice how it wasn't "Will you be my lifemate?" but "We are lifemates"? A confirmation of something, which had already happened.

Aaaaw, poor Crescent, in the moment before she dies. Though a am no Wolfrider fan, this scene was touching, she was soooo cute , I had so much sympathy for that diving girl , and was eager to see more of her. So sad!
The kitling with the santa hat is funny!
"Now I'm curious who this "Han" will be! " Another try on Hero Forge, but Han or moreso Ray-Han is not totally finished yet. The name should mean "Of the fire" , I hope it fits with the elf language. If fire means "Zar," it's "Ray-Zar", but it sounds like "razor", a little too martial. Well that fits to Go-Backs. Han is Go-Back.
