Joyleaf from Elfquest. Yes, I'm on a EQ-high again.

This is decicated to :iconpassingfancy: - thank you so much for your support!

And thank you to :iconfaestock: as well for providing the model for Joleaf. As for the techinque, this is a partial overpaint. That is, some photomanipulating , and a lot of painting. I find it so hard to make human features elfish without falling into "the uncanny valley". She looks a bit too human for an EQ elf, but I didn't risk to make her eyes any bigger. I tried - and she looked scary :/

May I have your permission to use this beautiful drawing for a character I am roleplaying in facebook? I really love it, and matches how I see her. But of course its up to you if I can use it. :)

This picture reminds me of the very funny actress Carol Kane.

This is way too beautiful. I mean, it has the right mood, and it's foresty and elfy, almost in the fairy way. I hope this makes any sense, lol!

Oh goodness! I'm so honored! Thank you so much! I've never had art dedicated to me before! And Joyleaf! She's beautiful! And don't worry about her eyes. The whole thing is incredible. Her curls are amazing, and I love her wreath. If she looks vaguely human, it's only because she had two eyes, a nose and a mouth. I love the colors you used, too.
