Elfquest Dolling Thread

Nother Grethlin the Changeling,2 new Eliums and 2 Elium/Kaori

You did your elfin couples on our old Princess maker, Beryl. And the got a prince! Love it!

The "old married" ... Birdwing in his typical ranger outfit, matured and friendly. You've done very well editing his beard - keep going and you'll soon reach skills you are completely content with. (I still have to learn how to master GIMP at all ...) Thornless is truely herself, too - with a playful festive addition. The huntress probably got the moth fabric for this skirt as a gift from the Sunvillage. I love the bird addition for them.
Silverhand, charming as always yet still shy and a bit unsecure. Bloodbirch looks very young and less prominent colors. I imagine that this is a scene shortly after their first recognition. You've completed his look with shoulder seams and cap. Simple and effective. His sword is always going with him.
Mist and her recognized wanderer. They look so happy back in those days. I wonder if you have planned a happy ending for them. I get used to Mist's colors and see the reminiscences to her daughter's style now. Her mate has a characteristic design, too. I love to se his edited headband. A soundname starting with "S" ... until you decide on his name he'll go as Samoon for me (another wind name). The rose is a lovely touch. I can see Samoon doing this. ^^
Purish and Mesrah happy together in festive mood. I see both got a makover to show their typical style. Really good job, Beryl ... and laborious detail with drag'n drop elements.

The young lovers ... Nice to see ForestFlame in her classic practical duds. Onyx looks fab with these few jewel adornements. I love how you show the timid aproach of the newly recognized couple - shy and loving, curious and tender. I see how you've put them closer together and made him embrace her!
Swiftaxe and Malus are sweet togther. So carefree and playful. Swiftaxe caressing her head and hair is such a gentle tender gesture.
Sunburst and Squirreltail fell in love! Purish's adventurous daughter and the mischievous talekeeper - what a couple. Looks like they are invoved in a playful argument. ^^

Please ... please make one of ForestFlame and Tinker, too! I'll try to help with a color change ... and a body modification if you wish for. And even without this ... we have imagination, right?


Winnostar - in almost earthen colors? that's a durprise.  Or ... should I imagine thet the night light changed the colors, Prism - like it changed her skin color? I love the headpiece and her expression is great!
WOW I absolutely love this Cinder! A bit cute, a bit dangerous ... embers in her skin, ashes in her hair. And you made flowers work as flames! She's gorgeous, Prism.
So ... Truffles is more on the green and lilac side. Cold colors. With the green this color scheme makes her skin look more trollish green, too.
Awww ... Grethlin is sad. *huggles dear changeling* I'm amazed how well she works on this strange maker. (strange for me ^^) You've captured her essence once again.
And Elak got another entry. Hm ... hard to imagine a Glider/Goback with yellow skin and green hair. Especially as part of the strands hit ecactly the skin hue. Takes another look at the fluffy scarf ... that's not only decorated with his usual fesers - it's handmade! Awesome job, Prism!

Another Grethren - elegant HighOne.like Erté style. Yet you've pictured her most beautifully again. I especially like the floral belt pattern the headpiece design and the latern. The collected flowers and herbs are the cherry on the cake.

Your leading characters are back. An Elium collction. Strong honorable warrior. Rascally trickster. Friendly companion. and a ladies' man in trouble. ^^ His colors are sun, sand and forest. It mirrors his origin if Ii remember right. I like the dimmed hues as much as the vivid ones. The latter enhance his sunny mood.
And work great in contrast to his mate Kaori. She's an ice queen in red ... with a temper between Kahvi and Reevol. XD Red and grey goes well together and works with her blonde hair. Another one who loves fur and feather collars and trims - and I love your drag'n drop creations to grant her wish.

Found a dolphin pixel thing on youtube and made some scratch dolphins/wavedancers
 Pridemark (Tynami, old)
 Fin (Tywaves)
 Heartdeep (Change)
 Seasweeper (Ribbon)
 Shadowcrest (Tynami)
 Shimmers (Shelldust)

OMG ... This gives tiny an new dimension!

They still show a characteristic pattern and detailed shape! That's something only you can do, Kat O.O ... and the base maker. ^^


Do you remember, Beryl? Back on the old SoC I've portraied part of you chars ... pretty much all who've existed at that point. ^^



Birdwing, his daughter ForestFlame and her friend Malus



Mesrah, her son Onyx and her daughter Sunburst

Prism Elium looks great, I really like his colors, curley hair and beard. Kaori is quite a contrast to him, I like her flowing dress on the snow queen maker, and how you used warm colors against the cold color of the dress.

Katcombs Tose dophins are awsome, so tiny and cute, yet somehow majestic

Embala Thank you Embala  
With Silverhand and Bloodbirch, I imagne that it was their first recognition, which is why Silverhand looks shy. Silverhand is holding back since she didn't really like bloodbirch all that much, because she saw him as harsh man, but he Ushered her closer and they gave in to recognition. their relationship was difficult in the begining, Bloodbirch is very strongwilled and he often overruled gentle Silverhand with his opinions, wishes and ways of doing things. But Silverhand learned that alot of his actions comes from a deep desire to protect, so while he can seem harsh and stubborn, it is because he takes his role as cheif very serious. In the end Silverhand finally got the curage to talk with him about his inabily to realy listen to others, he respected her more for it, and started to consider her wishes - which led to them recognising agin.
Yes Mist i very happy, and her wandere enjoys teh experience, while he nerver ekpected to settle down. I don't know about a happy ending for them, but I am hopeful that Malus will meet her father one day. I am glad you got used to Mists colors malus fathers outfits is so far still close to my first design idea for him, so his design might still develop. Samoon is a fine name, I don't mind you calling him that
I am glad you think I did a good job on Purish and Mesrahs outfits, they really needed some extra work and paitience.

Forestflame is in her classic outfit because I allways imagne thhat she would be wearing that when she recognised, taht might change though. I am glad you got the feeling of teh couples shy but tender and curious aproach to eachother. I enjoy Malus and Swiftaxe together, like you described them, they are carefree and playful, I do not imagne that they will ever be lifemates.
I thought that Sunburst and Squirreltail would surely enjoy eachother company, they often joke with eachother and have many playful arguments

Okay I made Forestflame and Tinker, I will see how much I can edit him myself when I get the time If I does not work out, I would love your take on it.

And yes I remember your portrait of my characters my favorites are Mesrah and Malus, and I like how Forestflame clearly has her fathers eyes.

Love to read so!

And this I like even more! I've hoped you would be encouraged to try by yourself.

I'll do my best to edit Tinker to your wishes, Beryl ... but now you'll have to tell me whether you want me to do it!

It's always nice when you share bits and pieces about your characters' stories and get insights in their developement. Thanks for your agreement with "Samoon" as an interims name. I prefer to refer to a char by name - makes it easier and much more "alive".

btw: A "Happy End" need not be a lifemating and "they lived happily together everafter" - a remeeting ... a talk ... a reconciliation and peaceful parting can be a good ending too. Malus meeting her sire somewhen somewhere is an idea I love.



As Beryl's Avatar portraits showed up, it's time to repost your too, Kat. ^^



Change, Tynami and Tywaves - as classic as I coud do them.

EEK @Embala *tacklehugs!* I still love those!

No new stuff from me...  been microing again, but it's slow work. I did post a TON of gift stuff over on DA, https://katcombs.deviantart.com/gallery/48774341/Gifts-and-Commissions Since I don't know who has a DA account or not I wasn't able to tag everything on their art. If you want tagged, please message me so I can add your name to your characters.

The sprite sets aren't up, but all the mini barbies and other dollz are.

It's good to read that those old portraits still bring joy, Kat! But ... realized too late that Tywaves never got finished. Another one on my "to-fix-list".

I've skimmed your gifts gallerie and some more of your foldrs on Deviant Art. Always freat to remeet familiar characters and and old dollz. I love those "Linky Minis" sprites and the longlegged basse you've used for the MIB. Would be great for High ones and other tall elves!


I've seen a dear lurker showing up regulary. These were for you, Wolfie.



WolfMoonSky, Goldshine, Leia ... and Musé.



I wasn't sure about Leia hair color - whether the turquiose is mor on the blue or more on the green side. I hav e the other version too and can easily change it, Wolfie.

4 new Cinder the Fire Elf,2 new Bloodmane of the Hunt & 1 Aetherylle the Neo High One.
As for the beasties well,I figured that the innate magic would effect some flora&fauna,and it did here. If they took some earthly flora&fauna with them when they leave WoTM or Abode,then the magic'll effect them essentially creating unicorns,dragons,griffins,cockatrices,chupacabras and other types of mythical critters,beasties and varmints.

Nother Bloodmane of the Hunt

@Prism There's something about Bloodmane, I just love that gal... 


Some quick Pony Town sprites of my two girls.. I still need to make Ribbon and Tywaves on there.

Awesome Cinder collection, Prism! Personally I like her best when her hair hints the color of ashes. This whitish-grey is a breck to her usual red-yellow color sheme and sort of completes the appearence of fire. Speaking of fire ... you did great showing the flames.
I can see their blue hearts in the "Arabien" version - together with a fire whirl formed by the veil. Dark Fairy makes iut easy with the fire background ... but you've enhanced the effect with the twines and Cinder seems to glow. The fire Angel ... a must do. She's perfect with the firey blades and has my favorite hairdo. Last not least the most unlikely Harley maker ... and there are flames - and magma under the skin. *bows*

Great additions to the Bloodmane collection. I like her best on Viking in this batch - in furs, with skull trophys and bloody claws. The axe looks martial - but for a Hunt elf its an anachronism. Kudos for your costume design on Magical Elf. You found creative wasy to show furs and hides and even the bloody claws. I like her marks on the Dark Fairy version. Again leaves mimic the fur duds well enough.

An new face ... or have I missed / forgotten about Aetheryll? Unusual take - considering that we are used to "allshinethrough wrapstuff bannerets" in FQ. It looks more like the legends-inspired gowns you prefer. ^^ I imagine Aetheryll sitting within the projection of a newly discovered alien planet she wants to explore.

The critters are just cute and pettable. Can I have turquoise pony-moth?


And more ponies in itzibitziteenyweeny katcombs style. ^^ Tynami and Change are adorable als pony sprites. I love their abundant hair and Change's colorful stockings. You even managed to show their beauty marks, Kat. Amazing cuteness.

1 of Kaori,Elium,Dreamberry and Elak and a better version of the bond-beasts.

Unedited, testing hosting options, just trying to get back into it...

<hugs to all>

I remember these!! I still love them embala! *hugs*
Leia's hair is indeed a little bit more on the turquiose side, but that doesn't mean I don't like your version of her! You don't have to change it.

It's very nice to see the old versions of these dolls again.

Your couple became a quartet, Prism. They go very well together - and seemingly they went on a quest of their own. Good idea for the "ears" ... and it works best with Kaori. Her hairdo supports the imagination. I think you've overdone a bit - the ears look like cat eats or bat ears. More hidden, with a smaller part being visible, it should work even better.

Elium looks like a lion. I want to scratch his mane behind the ears. ^^ The clothing style and colors suit him - harmonc contrasts. Kaori is an elegant beauty. I love her feather collar - it adds color. Colorful, playful and a bit gypsy ... Dreamberry is her sweet self. And she comes with her preferred dish. Great feather trims for Kaori and Elium. He got a distinct and setlled look - with the gloves and feathers as an ongoing assessoire. *imagines what love for dreamberries does to white gloves*

The crittes are very cute and sparkly. *still wants Tealmoth*


Welcome back, Nightsea. *hugs* I was so happy to see you look in again.
And you brought a beautiful Tynami ... even without edits you've captured her classic look and details.
Testing hosting options? You were affected by the Photobucket desaster, too? I really hope you'll get back into dolling art and fun. Especially fun.

A welcome gift for you, Nightsea - your girls Nightsea, Pearlshade and Vytha



... not new but heartfelt. I thought of you when I started to repost this series and wished you were here.


It's wonderful to see you post, Wolfie! I'm glad the old portraits can still bring you joy.

Let's see ... - better Leia? She was in my folder anyway.

I've saved more ... your own dollz of your boys Aguil, Veryan and Lyen, the girl in black and white (forgot her name) and poor Musa. I love to have them company with the others.

@Nightsea *tacklehuggles* You know I adore how Ty turned out! I'm so glad to see you posting again!

Just two quick ones today... i have the smaller versions, just wanted to be sure the big ponies look okay first before posting. I can't remember the cutie mark I had for Embala so I made something up, lol. 

Awww... they are adorble!
That's so Nightsea! I love how her mane and tail together hint Nightsea's long tresses. And the black "boots" are as characteristic as funny.
*hugs and craddles and cuddles* Thank you so much for cutie Embala pony, Kat. I love her to pieces.
I don't remember another pony design and have missed or forgotten about a beauty mark, too. May I suggest a crystal for Embala? Or - a crystal with rings like Saturn?

Something like this?

Anyone else want a pony?

Something like this
The crystal can stand for the opal-like jewel Embala always wears, and the Saturn rings for her space origin.
This is perfect, Kat! You're so fast ... O.O

Here we go... I remembered Tywaves and Ribbon this time







Repost: Other Embala pony...

awww... The greeting mini ponies are so cute. Tynami and Change, Tynami welcoming Nightsea and Tywaves playing with Embala And you've made all four mini versions of Nightsea. I swear I can see each detail just like in the big one! ... okay, it is so easy to imagine every detail ...

And Embala pony is trotting all along into my heart, presenting three cutie foals. ^^ That's so adorably cute.
The little fellow is in my gift folder - cherished and loved. As she has no cutie mark I've figured there might has been another one I've missed.

You've completed the "four generations" with Ribbon and Tywaves. Ribbon is the perfect pony - ribbons and bows all over. ^^ I love her freckles. She's followed by four tiny copies of herself ... couldn't be in greater detzail. I swear she looks motherly!
And Tywaves is a rascelly litte beauty. So sweet an playful looking. *huggles my little darling* (She's my darling among your extended Seaglade family.)

Thank you so much for those wonderful gifts, Kat! *hugs and kisses*


More from old EDA (Elfquest Dollers Association) times: Firesong (elfeneyes') and Monsoon (Jeedai's)

Nightsea That is a really lovely Tynami

katombs Super awsome ponies Pony Embala is super cute

I made my guys on the arabian scene maker, I might make couples or families later.


Birdwing and Swiftaxe


Squirreltail, Bloodbirch and Moonblade


Purish and Onyx - would have liked to give Purish shorter shorts.


Malus father.

Here are my old friends!
Birdwing seems to be very proud of his well trimmed beard. Well succeeded edit, Beryl. Swiftaxe is simple - simply himself.
The chief's family illustrates the difference in character very well. Colors and expressions are speaking. Squirreltail - cheerful, miscievous young talekeeper. Bloodbirch - determined, sometimes broading chief. You've made sure that his sleeves are fitting, Beryl. Moonblade - brave and considered chief-to-be.
Daring Purish tries new garments? His miscievous impression and his son's surprise seem to fit this idea. You made sure that he keeps his familair headband! Handsome Onyx  ... in black and gold suits him very well. The blue jewels are a nice touch.
"Samoon" looks fab this time. Well balanced outfit and charactereistic look. Practical with a touch of fancy. I think the belt makes the difference. Could he wear a somehow "fancy" belt as adornement? I like the background you've chosen - so perfect for the "desert wind". Nice headband. ^^

I like that you edit this or that detail to bring out what's typical for your boys and important for their design.

Some nice new dolls here. My Little Pony? Hmmmm.
