Elfquest Dolling Thread

I totally agree with the laced shoes on Seabreeze, they're very fitting for her. On Twitterfin I tried everything to make her look younger and nothing worked... Sweetdusk turned out better than I hoped. I kept finding perfect parts for her, even her hair! These are all so much fun! Seeing how the closeup headshots are looking, I may to a bunch more of them.

I put Twitterfin in this pose.. wanted her to look like she was having fun.

Violet

The first Seaglade isn't her colors, but I just loved the colors and had to try both versions.

Found one!!

I didn't do it!!

Edit:
Since I now I know how to do it, here's someone I know Embala will love
Tywaves

And here is more!

Playful Twitterfin! I like the scarf addition. She has fun for sure ... when I consider her a pip imagination tells me she ran away with part of a net ...

Violet turned out well - slightly nicer, still ressembling Moonshade in look and attitude, and complete with ther flowery hair adornement.
Awesome Seaglade! She's pretty in geen camouflage. But like you I love the golden-bronze against green. The contrast makes the colors shine. Why judge when you can have both - call it a color change ability - either by magic or a naturally developed skill. ^^

Aww ... here she is - little pip Twitterfin ... pouting innocently! Pretty sure she got caught and is scolded by the net maker. ^^ Adorable expression and pose.
But she's just close second in ranking - Lil' darling Tywaves beats her in cuteness contest. This little face is irresistible. She started early with her pearl headdress. The little ones are so precious, Kat. *wants to hug and cuddle*


One night the rockshaper, coralshaper and jewelmaker of the Merfolk showed up! (basically I've built another version of Embala ... O.O)

- Weeddancer

("Seahorse" was such an un-elfquesty term)

Thank you for all your kind words, Embala! I just adore Seahorse Embala hehe

Last of the tribe...


And something I want to see what it looks like.. I threw the Six Tribes trio in here cause it is their tribe.

Wow, Seahorse Embala is perfect and quite lovely too.

Ice Crystal looks stunning! True to her name in blue-green huesof glacier ice and sparkling ice crystals. The crystal leg fins are the cherry on the cream.
I'll stick to it - this boy is a tinkerer! He absolutely looks like a working guy - much more on the mechanical and inventive side. And a dreamer.
I want to believe that he eyes another dreamer ... and that Starpearl answers his glance with interest. She's so soft and pretty looking.
Last not least Redtide - strong red against soft blue, The golden adornemants even enhance the contrast. I can imagine her as a passionate healer - who can turn into a terrific fighter.

I was already waiting for the storm triplets showing up amidst their birth tribe, Kat. Gorgeous collection!
Some are familiar sights already ... Ice Crystal seems to be the cold type in more than one way. Love this look. Having Violet and little Twitterfin side by side sparks the idea that they might be related, like aunt and niece. Seaglade shows her teasing side and I love her green-in-green eyes. Soft curves for Seabreeze almost everywhere. Rol looks like a Prince in contrast to Tinkerer's peasant. ^^
WOW ... Coralberry is busty! Lau and Starpearl can't believe this sudden growth. Redtide: *It's overdone. Told you, Chieftess!*

Please forgive me this extra fun, Kat. Couldn't resist.


Thank you for the kind welcome for Seahorse Embala ... uh... WeedDancer! Glad she's admired so much, Kat and G0lden. When I recall it right she was a maker job only.


- Sunkissed

(temporary name?) Another one I know next to nothing about - besides that she's obviously the beauty of the tribe.

I couldn't resist to "play" with your Storm Elves, Kat.

- Stormcaller



My imagination of the triplet father. An Elder ... a wild one. Maybe a loner.
(umh... noticed that his hair should be darkblue/black in the Inkscribble version and the ear(fin) brown) ... *shrug* ... details XD

He looks good in both versions Embala.

Thank you, Prism!

I've decided to fix the details ... including a beard addition and some other cleaning. In case you've saved them make sure to grab the new versions, Kat. Of course this was just the prelude for some playing ...



The Recognition scene? ... with a slightly changed Seabreeze ^^

and what I was actually going for:

ACK! I hit reload on the wrong screen and erased my entire message.... let's try this again

The fun part about the IMVU Ice Crystal and Coralberry are that their fins are animated. If I can figure out how, I'll post some animated gifs of them moving around. Tinkertide is very much a hard worker, he loves to build things. I couldn't help the name, the tinker part just stuck with me as did Starpearl. Violet and Twitter do look alot alike... sisters doesn't feel right, and I just love the idea of Aunt Violet! Coralberry's chest just didn't seem right to me before, but I loved the colors in that top. Seems like almost any top I pick she looks huge.

Version 2

Feel free to play with any of these elves, including Six Tribes too. Ideas of all kinds help build the tribe and fill out characters more. It's so much fun playing ideas off each other.

Sunkissed reminds me of the sun on an island in the desert... that doesn't make much sense, but she gives me an oasis feel. Kind of that morning mist you see over a desert as a mirage. The bronze and white are a surprisingly good combination, I love her!

EEK!!! Stormcaller, wow!!! The green, blue and black are an excellent combination for him. The green seaweed across his chest adds just the right touch. Such a warrior!! The tattoos look fitting on him... makes me wonder how they get the ink to stay on their skin underwater, hehe. The beard is the first I've seen in the elves and I LOVE it!!! I want to pull on it too. He looks positively vicious!! His eyes make me think he's blind... or was at one time. The scene you set up is perfect for that idea... Seabreeze finding him, using her sweetness, bringing him back to Redtide to heal him, then BAM! recognition! I could SO see Seabreezae as a finned elf. Maybe she changed to legged for the children or she goes back and forth. Such a gorgeous look for her!! I can't wait to try and make it in 3D.

On the last Stormcaller's expression is priceless... 3?!? Total shock! With Seabreeze having triplets I love how you put that little extra on her weight. The little ones are ADORABLE! I just love all of these!!! *TACKLEHUGGLES*

If one of the ones you were playing with were these two, please still post... I'd love to see... the little one has no identity at all right now... I'll leave that open for you.


I'll probably be sticking to the 3D images for a bit... I need to take headshots of all the elves... maybe make a family tree or something, I donno.

These aren't very clean, but I didn't have too much time to figure out a better way..

Making the couple yesterday got me wanting to play with Starpearl a little...


Also, I took a shot at Stormcaller

YEAH ... You've adopted Stormcaller! I really wanted a father for the triplets ... not just for playing. I'm glad you like him, Kat. And now I imagine Seabreeze pulling on his beard in tender moments. ^^
I had Stormcaller smiling at his pip at first ... but when I added Seabreeze and the two girls this baffled expression was irresistable. And I had to use the chubbier base for Seabreeze - it felt so wrong to have her all slender shortly after giving birth to triplets.
I like your ideas for their encounter and recognition. I think he and Chieftess Coralberry will clash at times - not necessarily about the really important things. When his family or the tribe need him he will always be there - like Strongbow.

And you actually paired up my shy lovers. And they'll have a pip, too! The little family is so adorable. I love the webbed feet for Starpearl - explains why she is barefoot on the full body shot. And finally this awkward buggy pants make sense - Tinkertide would wear those. Perfect! The names stick with you - that's the power of sending. XD I've only tried to capture the vibe I got from the dollz - the names were already there. Tinkerer was used already twice - Tinkertide is unique and connects him to his tribe.
The pip ... I want a girl to make a pretty adult version ... but the little one wants to be a boy. He says his name is Spark. Skyspark for the adult ... like the meteors falling when his parents recognized. (Works for a girl too in case I reconsider the gender ^^).

I'm happy you let me play with your tribe and pick up my suggestions. I hope to return to them soon ... but for now Easter eggs are calling. I'm LATE.

I was just kidding about Coralberry's bustiness. Easy to see why you love the first top - it looks like the sea near coral islands. The second one suits her well and is praktical ... she can have both for different occasions. ^^
Her fins in the gifs look awesome - especially on the middle one. Same with Ice Crystal ... that's fun indeed!

Starpearl turned out beautifully! The green gown suggests a mer-tail. And she actually has a mermaid form - for real or in a dream Shiny. My favorite is the pareo one - there's the star pearl motive again.

You've really found a tail for Stormcaller! He turned out fab ... and is officially part of the Storm Elves now!


No more playing with the Storm Elves at the moment - but there's one more gift for you.

*squeals and jumps up and down!!* Flight!!! He looks GORGEOUS!!! Just perfect!! Thank you so much for him!! You just made my week!! I especially love the koi colors in his fingerwebs.

For the Storm Elves, I'm playing with the idea that either they may be born with fins or at one time or another they can chose them...

I ended up letting her hair down in this one... maybe a younger form

I was playing with a Seahorse form, but all I could find was a black and orange... if I can figure out how to use the editor I'll make Weeddancer some fins on there.


I remembered two more kiddos I had yet to try and make...
Blomstre
Ilyian's son Daran
I can see these two sneaking off to play with Tywaves.

Just wanted to throw Tynami in too... since she was about this size when I started playing her originally.

I love it when a surprise works!

Seabreeze is a beauty in her mermaid form - as it should be. Of course she would let her hair open occationally. White, seablue and powdery pink - soft contrasts. There's a ME variation missing now. ^^

Blomstre blinks innocently "Nooo, we won't run to the big water for Tywaves." She looks so sweet in this pinkish dress and very childlike. Daran looks guilty ... he knows how this will end. This outfit suits him.
Awww... lil' Tynami is so cute. Look at this little face and the big eyes. Please Mom. Please can I keep this bird? Darling

Weeddancer likes her image. A golden statuette is very fitting for a jewel shaper, she sais. Thank you very much, Kat! She's very pretty.
... thats absolutely Embala's hair color! ^^


Thank you for the great comment on Sunkissed! I love it when a character ... an image sparks imaginations. I wanted to put one of my Mer Elves here - it's about time for them to close ranks. But someone else was demanding attention.

Things to come ...

She turned out beautifully!!! *huggles*

I found something adorable on IMVU and had to try it. I would have used the normal Embala, but Merbala looked so cool. I haven't decided which of Prism's guys or gals I'm using yet.

Awww... *grabs and pets and huggles and bounces*
That's as cute as funny, Kat! *huggles* Tynami looks so playful, so adorable ... lost in childhood memories. And Embala the Eggmaster ... prefers to spend a leisure day as Merbala and noshes on a chocolate bunny. A nice day with a friend ... why not make it a week? Or a month ... ^^

So happy you like my take on mertail Seabreak. I simply couldn't resist to try ... and it was some extra fun to hint the birth of the triplets. ^^


- Darkpool

Well, she looks similar to Korillia and I gave her a similar background. Her mother was touched by a dark pool during her pregnancy and her pipling got magically changed. Darkpool isn't happy about it ... to make it worse the dark magic starts to influence her mind, too.

Oh, some new ad interesting pretties.

Embala's Darkpool

WOW It's Darkpool! She's alive! Thank you so much, Prism. She looks fab - complete with tentakel braids. Her animal company sparks ideas ... maybe animal bonding is her magic?



- Tidestray

Tidestray is Darkpool's younger sister. She decides to go on a quest for the Palace of the High Ones to get help for her sister. The crystals (= Palace shards) are supposed to enhance her magical skills and expand her sending range.

Darkpool and Tidestray look fantastic in all versions!! On Tidestray, her books turned out so cool!!



I made these two real quick, it helps me keep up with who is who in the new tribes.

Great banners! and a practical decorative character listing. ^^

Thanks for the loving comments, Kat. I've noticed too late that Tidestray's right boot is a bit off. Glad you like the idea.


Last one of the Sea-Elves I've createted for Beryl's and my alternaverse ...

- Sunfeather

She's still a dark horse - former chieftess ... healer ... dead or alive ...

In an AU Elfquest, a small group of trolls,elves and Preservers interbred and she was the result. With a lot of mutation of course.

She's mostly a blend of Yun and Venka with some Freetouch thrown in.

Some CRAZIIIE look for the Trollelfpreserver girl, Prism. You've perfectonated your tail building!

Yunka turned out very lovable. I see differrent facets of her fusion self in the different makers:
- collected and attentiv ... Venka and Yun
- playful ynd miscievous ... Freetouch and Yun
- dreamy ... very much Yun
- serious - very much Venka
Of course her clothing colors and style always have a touch of Freetouch. ^^ Green hair and red eyes is an interesting combination.
