Advent Calendar 2018 - FQ Finals ... The child is the link!


You're welcome, G0lden. In case you need assistence with the "FQ Finals" come in the box for helpful big pictures.
here's your baublehead again
Poor Scruff ... never really seen it from his POV. I'm so happy you could recognize Cutter and his last wolf friend Loper. I've so hoped this motive would be big and clear enough. And you are as close as possible with the strong lady in grey - not Queen Drub but a nameless female Troll guard.
The new cutie you've mentioned must be the lamp bearer in the big bauble.

Well ... Daboi tried. And I like his move ^^ - a scene worth to ban into baubles. You're totally right with little "bigpaw" Loper, Redhead. You know your Final Quest well. *LOLs* at your remark about the "indicator Troll" and the gossiping ladies.
I love to see you as Redcap again - just in time for 1. Advent.

Your choices a awesome, Evie. Love it! I'm working to make it happen as soon as possible. For now ...
- a new (old) baublehead I've made for you last year.
Thank you for sneaking in and enjoying the calendar ... like Cutter's last wolfbond. This scene is so heart warming - so close to the early EQ I love so much.


Startear's choice

Startear asked for our dear Baker - here she is again, with "sugar and spice and everything nice".

Okay, I think the green one is a wavedancer.

Now the second is one of two elves the opening of Fire and Flight.

Nah, it's one of the Rootless Ones.

I'm in love with all those baubles!!
The one I love the most is Cutter with his wolf friend Loper! It's such a cute image

Nice to see Baker! I love that you put cinnamon in it! And how the bread fell out of the bauble is very creative! Is Cutter hiding in the cinnamon? XD

Treewee!!!

As for the other, I am not even hedging a guess.

I think it's Kaitek, but I could be wrong.

Not a bad guess, G0lden not bad at all. This green in green very much obscures the figure and this tattered look could have been a creature like Surge. She is a Rootless One - captured at the moment she was - effectlessly - shot by a Djunsman. *
All the better "SkyHigh" was no problem to recognize. And the Treewee!!! was visible and clear too!
I was aware that this spirit ball would be a challenge for you, G0lden - more likely a mission impossible.

* EDIT: I've changed the door of December 5th - now it shows "Jitterling", an elderly, shaky, male Rootless one. Because ... reasons. ^^

Of course our Chieftess was right about the Rootless lady. And you are right about Kaitek as well, Redhead.

I love that Advent time and the calendar always bring you back to activity, Wolfie! *BIG heartfelt welcome HUG* And I love to see you changed to a baublehead just some instants ago.
That little moment of Cutter and Loper bonding caught my eyes at first glance - so lovely and lively. It reminds me of "good old days".
Hehehee... you really don't know WHO is hiding in the cinnamon, Wolfie? ^^ *hard to believe* If so just click on the picture    - it will lead you to the comic page in question. Best of the bread: - it is a christmas bauble itself! Yup, bread shaped ornaments exist. XD

Admittedly I like how green "Fairhorn" turned out - Rootless One and bauble are a perfect fusion. And Kaitek ... well, spirits are elusive.


Christina's choice

Stormsong ... how ChristinaRaibert imagines ... and Skimmer in a maritime and beautifully oldfashioned ornament.

Okay, not guess who this is. Brain is in nuetral.

I can see it is a Glider, no clue who though.

Thank you so much for posting the Christmas bauble you made me last year em! I left the flash drive I keep my avatars on at home.

Loving the new and old calendars, even though I’m not sure who everyone is. I never actually finished final quest, so that’s part of it probably.

The Baker image is magnificent! Lots of imagination and creativity! Sneaky sneaky Skywise.

And the lovely scarfy Go-Back.

Yun!!!

Rayek and Kahvi, what a wild pairing.

Aah, the pod-pilot.

"Neutral" is an understandable reaction, G0lden. This elf is a probably nameless Go-Back from Venka's tribe. He caught my eyes because of his characteristic look. And the two Gliders of the "Extras" calendar are nameless, too - the dressmakers bringing Cutter's Blue Mountain duds.
*LOL* my first thought was "Who the f*** is Rachel?" ... the blessings of autocorrect. XD Second thought made me realize how much Mardu looked like Kahvi in this panel. It's Mardu with Rayek ... at this time she was a nameless extra. And Yun was finally a clear view. Yun with the Palace ...

... and in the pod ^^ - just as you've pointed out, Redhead! I see you like this nameless Go-Back too.

You are welcome, Evie. Love to see you as baublehead again. ^^ I'm glad the calendars are enjoyable despite the difficult condition. Well - the pictures of the "Extras" calendar are clickable and will lead you to the comic pages on digital Elfquest. About the recent one ... let's see:
- Shuna, Daboi (one of Khorbasi's rescuees) and Shenshen, Cutter with Loper
- female Troll guard, a Rootless One, Kaitek (Brace) spirit, nameless Go-Back
- Yun, Orlgan and Molli (two other resuees of Khorbasi) ... I hope it helps.


WolfMoonSky's choice

He's one of the rebels against the Djun ... the first who supported Shuna. I've tried something new with him - showing multiple views. And a friend is in the mix, too.

On a new collage too!

Two young humans and a Glider bird.

Hmm... is the Sunday theme-within-a-theme various ships? (as in, shipping two - or more - people together. Nothing to do with maritime transportation.)

Your question is both annoying and enlightening, Redhead.

I had forgotten that the holiday windows used to follow a 'theme-in theme' for years! This IS annoying. Now I understand why some of my choices rang wrong from the beginning.

But you've presented the solution the same instant my sloppiness became obvious. With few changes I can make it follow the "Various Shippings" topic now. ... at least in a wide range. Even can incorporate a fun fact I've noticed but could not make fit before. ^^

Thank you, thoughtful Chieftess - you were a big help! *bows*


P.S.: *still chuckling on your "nothing to do with maritime transportation clearification* Made my morning!

Aah… Windkin about to make an... interesting discovery.

Wind in and a Goback.

Thanbk youi as allways Embala, for the wonderful Elfquest chritsmas spirit you share with all of us
I have not read all of final quest yet, but I still find the baubles top be very beautiful.

Of course, that was Skywise! I knew that! Why did I say Cutter?! XD

I love all of the new baubles, but I really love the baubles of Yun and Windkin! I love the images you used, they are perfect!

It's nice to see the Advent Calendar 2013 again! Still loving all of those baubles!!

I love it! Thank you so much!
I remember both of them! It's too bad that neither of them was given a name. I love the one with the big leaf in it. That's really creative! I'm happy to see his friend in the middle. Great images you used of them!

You are right, G0lden - these 'multiple views' ornaments are almost a story telling collage ... from the guy's first thoughts about resistance to fight to triumph.
The young humans from 2nd Advent are Molli anf Urlgan. You'll know them as nameless kids from FQ Prologue. Molli was the one who carried badly burned Tingeh - your 'Mercy' - out of battle and fire.
I see you had no problem with the nameless Go-Back and Windkin - unlike autocorrect. ^^ This system must be trained for EQ names!

As long as you find an ... interesting discovery every day my work is done, Redhead

You're lurking... and surface to comment! I'm glad you've joined the baubleheads and find joy and Christmas spirit in this calendar, dear Beryl. Have a peaceful Advent time.

*chuckles* Sneaky Skywise has puzzled you, Wolfie. XD I've tried to find lively drawings for Yun and Windkin - an 'action scene' caught in movement. I'm glad it shows. And you give love to my nameless extras, too. It's their time to shine again.
Your rebel was fun to make. He need not stay nameless, Wolfie. You can name him ... last not least you made him your brave heart.


PCoquelin's choice

The rebel against Voll's way was not his very first choice. It was partly my preference ... He caught my eyes, too. This guy is really strongheaded - unwilling to be banned in a bauble as he objected to be caged in Blue Mountain. ^^
According to the "Who's Who" on elfquest.com he turned out to be Yurek - now I'm no longer surprised!

Well today's look like a human, possibly the thief.

The there is Nightfall!

It's Angrif. Clue; everything's from Final Quest.
And, not looking too good there, huh, Angrif? Shouldn't have attacked the Wolfriders (and Longriders), stuff like that might end you up getting your cock turned into mince meat.

Wrong. Right... not exactly. As much as I savor your comment about Angrif and his ... bad    karma, Redhead, I must tell you're far away from truth this time.
Human for sure, in bad condition and a stressful situation ... from FQ of course. Final Quest finals means all the pictures (in the calendar at least) will be chosen from chapter 4 - and this one is a good guy. ^^ Want to guess one more time?

Spoiler alert ahead ^^
Understandable assumption, G0lden. I can see the resemblance, especially on this small scale and blue in blue. This guy is a good one, working slave of the warmen - and the great-grandson of the Woodcutter. You've probably not read far enough through FQ to meet him.
The bandana and monochrome look mislead you, too. This guy is one of Dart's Jackwolfriders, another nameless extra. Admittedly I can almost see Nightfall's locks when looking at the star bauble. ^^
I'll promise that your personal "extra" will be well visible! *still planning and hunting baubles*

Padki's grandson?
(and Yun had nothing to do with Angrif's wounding)
