Finally took the time to draw all my ElfQuest OCs, even though it takes me 3 years to make any drawings. I'm also trying to write about them more so there's some information I tried to add under the cut.
Some of these OCs have been around since I was >12 and I stopped caring about Canon and Realism a long time ago. The ages are also wildly inaccurate based on their 'timeline' depending on who I just wanted to draw as an adult. For example, little Perch there is older than at least 5 others in the image.
From Left to Right:
Doe-Eyes: Would probably consider her my main EQ OC since I draw her the absolute most. The mysterious and mischievous Seer of the tribe, blessed with magical powers giving her the sight of both past and present, and cursed with the responsibility of choosing how much of that to share with her tribe without changing anything. Often smiles like she knows something you don't; its because she does.
Cliffjumper: The young and brash Chief of his band of Wolfriders. A jovial showboat who thrives off noise and attention. Has relentlessly pursued Doe-Eyes after learning of a prophecy where the two of them were fated to be Recognized, despite her insistence it wasn't happening for a long time yet.
Cloudcatcher: The first child of the Recognition of Cliffjumper and Doe-Eyes, and the one set to inherit the title of Seer from his mother. Cloudcatcher takes mischief to a whole new level, constantly pulling pranks and manipulating others, his favorite victim being his own brother. He is still young, and has not learned the consequences of the powers he has inherited.
Bracken: The ever gentle second son of Cliffjumper and Doe-Eyes, kind beyond his years and slated next in line for the chieftainship. A through and through mama's boy, his reign is set to bring a long era of peace for the Wolfriders.
Freerunner: The eldest of her sibling pair. A freespirited, sharp and skilled hunter, often found running alongside her wolf friend rather than riding. Her skills are unmatched among her tribe, leading her to get frustrated with others when they cannot keep up.
Windwhistle: The younger brother of Freerunner and as he jokes, her biggest disappointment. A borderline pacifist, the gentle soul would rather make music than anything else.
Snowlock: The serene elder Tanner. A man of few words but filled with devotion towards his lifemate and tribe.
Honeytouch: Although the herbal healer's touch may be gentle as she keeps the health of the tribe intact; she makes up for it with impossible sharp tongue and cutting comments.
Clearwater: The gentle, innocent peacekeeper daughter of the Tanner and Healer. Her soft voice seems to have an impeccable talent for mediation.
Cricket: Just as talkative as her namesake, the young plant-shaper has no problem making herself or her opinion heard. Brave beyond her years, the impulsive young elf tends to get herself in over her head, not that she would ever admit it.
Woodweaver: The father of Cricket. Although much subdued after the death of his lifemate, the plant-shaper retains his kind nature.
Avka: A scarred transplant of the Go-Backs, her overly gentle nature (at least for the Go-Backs) finds her fitting in more among this group of Wolfriders.
Mitali: Recognition with Daytreader was never in the Sun Folk villagers plans, nor living the in woods. The elegant villager's new lifemate strives to keep his shiny mate adorned in the fashion and ease she is accustomed to.
Daytreader: Hardworking and graceful, the tall Wolfrider earned his name for his peculiar nature of enjoying the sunshine in spite of his tribe's nocturnal nature. Also beyond understanding, he seems to enjoy his lifemate's spoiled nature.
Sunslip: Despite the heritage (and disdain) of her mother, Sunslip is the epitome of a Wolfrider. She is quickly becoming one of the most skilled huntresses within the tribe.
Aedah: The opposite of her sister, the two still retain a strong bond. Aedah much prefers her mother's stories of Sorrow's End, as every shadow of the forest seems to scare her.
Wildfire: A fearless Wolfrider and accomplished brawler. Even if their tribe had a magical Healer, Wildfire would still choose to bear the scars left by burns she earned in defense of her Holt.
Tracker: Their name is well earned. The solitary hunter stands with the title of best tracker, and often finds himself far from the Holt in search of migrating herds.
Silvergill: Fun-loving and adventurous, the jovial spearfisher enjoys entertaining her tribe and the possibly futile task of making her brother's strange lifemate smile.
River: One of the most social of the tribe, like his sister, River often finds himself and his musical talents at the center of attention. The fisherman rarely finds an elf he cannot make his friend.
Skipper: The mysterious Glider who arrived (crashed) into their lives one night during a storm. She rarely talks about her past or how she ended up flying so far from her original home. Although her emotions are always hard to tell, she is grateful for her new home and unexpected Recognition among the Wolfriders.
Perch: The curious son of Skipper and River. The young Glider is dearly shy, even among his tribemates, and attached at the hip to his parents.
Crowcaller: The elegant sister of the past Chieftess, with no interest in leadership. She much prefers to spend her time honing her impressive archery skills.
Evrik: The young elf is friendly and talkative, though remains just as mysterious as the past he shares with Skipper. The jovial traveler arrived after her, seemingly having followed her arduous journey. He enjoys feeling useful and helpful, despite far from his origins.
