These are all super lovely! You've given Silvergill so much personality in these B&W pics and I love her color scheme <3 Do the other three lovely elves have backstories or are they new creations?

Oh my goodness you've said the magic words Sofia I love talking about my ocs, just bear in mind I am a great Ignorer Of Canon Skipper is my main Elfquest OC!! I love her so much she's my baby. She's a glider from a tribe I made up called the Wind Walkers. I mean, the usual backstory I use for them is that they were once of Blue Mountain, but a group of their ancestors broke off. Enraged at losing hersubjects, Winnowwill cursed the fleeing group to remove all 'High One' traits. About 50% of them fly, but the other half of the glider gene died in the curse. They are cursed with shorter stature and definete lifespans. They reside in a canyon now, rejecting all human touch that would remind them of the past of their people. Skipper herself is a reckless young thing. Always up for going fast, pulling pranks and all around getting into things she shouldn't. This is what got her into trouble, she got much too close to the local humans. This earned her exile. Exiled, she now wanders the world in search of a new place to belong. (Eventually she Recognizes a lifemate and has a son named Perch, but those details are not solidified in my canon yet. Doe-Eyes is my second favorite. She lives in a made up wolfrider holt that I've never bothered to name. She is chronically sleepy, always sleeping in odd places. Her fellow wolfriders marvel at the fact she hasnt died yet. She has a soft kind of beauty, and makes up for her sluggishness and absences in other ways. She has minor prophetic powers, they usally come to her in her frequent dreams. They have saved her tribe from many a dire situation. She has Recognized the Chief of her tribe, but is trying her best to reject it, much to his dismay. As much as she portrays aloofness, she fears she will not be able to provide her tribe with the attention a chieftess requires, she fears she will fail them in chieftess positoon. Mitali is the least fleshed out of my OCs. Mostly because i just like drawing a bunch of shiny jewelry and never fleshing her out. She lives in Sorrow's End. She's a dancer, a child-carer and many other things. Her most useful talent is an eagle eye, she likes to throw rocks at passing birds, mostly just to show off her deadly aim. She lives with her older brother, who is very protective. Sometimes I have her Recognize a wolfrider, to which her brother vehemently objects. One of her greatest desires in life is to have a family (just not with a savage wolfrider, ew).

I always love hearing about people's OCs And canon is made to be played with, not an unquestionable rule book Are you writing stories about these characters, or is it more a general plotting/character creation you're doing?

No worries, you're not the only one being overwhelmed by the end of summer (me: work's super busy + I've just started NaNoWriMo + I've somehow ended up with bed bugs in my apartment despite going absolutely nowhere because Covid, so need to deal with those). Hope college is going well for you, despite the unique and mad circumstances of 2020! What are you studying?
Love the new sketches! Have they all shown up in your first art posted here or is one or more of them new? I think I see at least one elf I haven't seen before, but that might be me not being good at recognizing characters XD

I'm currently a Creative Writing major with a minor in French (and maybe medieval studies in the future). It's been really hectic with all the online classes and university guidelines to work with I haven't had much free time (or motivation). But recently things have calmed down a bit so I can begin to get my life back in working order.
Doe-Eyes, Skipper and Mitali are there (with minor tweaks) and the last is the appearance of a new Go-Back OC, who is currently living without a name at the moment. This piece will be finished soo and I'm excited to share. I hope you're still having fun in this hectic time (with the exception of bedbugs)! Hopefully I can have more time in the future to draw more, rp again and even possibly write convoluted fanfiction for my elf gals!

Yay, what beautiful art! Love how they all contrast each other, the coloring and character designs are so thought through and bright <3 Thank you for sharing!
Glad to hear you're doing well! I'm doing okay too, and will likely be doing better as soon as I've got these bedbugs sorted - hoping to find time to post in-game sometime at the end of the week.
