This was my second and not-accepted submission to the 2019 ElfQuest Fan Art calendar with the theme of "Bonded."
One of my favorite stories from ElfQuest by Wendy Pini was the Hidden Years 1 one-shot, "Wolfwood," in which Strongbow pursues his exiled wolf-friend, Lashpaw, for a final farewell, and then the real trouble starts. It is an amazing piece of storytelling with almost no dialogue and it stands alone, without requiring the reader to intimately know the series.
This image was a back-up to my first and accepted submission, "playing it safe" with a generic "affectionate" pose. I think this is sweet, but I prefer the action in my first image, even though I have criticisms of that image's art.
