Heh. Good intro, FireNope!  Buteo has impeccable taste and can be trusted with reccomendations.  I tend to view the notion of 'bad art' a lot more leniently than I did as a young'un, and now follow the Mole God's precept of “make quick slapdash art of any quality, just for the heck of it” as well as attempting to make slightly less slapdash art and fic.


**Mole God comes from the Queen's Thief fandom, following the author Megan Whalen Turner's invention of the character in a tumblr post.

Thanks all for the welcome.

(I'll try not to shame Buteo then. And maybe scan a couple things I came up with.)

It’s not any ElfQuesr avatar either, it’s Cutter, the Blood of Ten Chiefs.

Ah, yet more EQ fans. Yes, I’m old enough to remember buying the paper comic from Space Age Books. Used to incorporate doing so into my monthly supply run to Melbourne, one of the few fun things in the task, and the owners would tease me about how my youngest two kids looked like Cutter and Skywise (I couldn’t help it, they really did, and do even now they are 51 and 52). Way to feel old!

I used to read the from the local library. It was a long time ago, then we stopped going to that library and the following tomes were lost for me.
I believe he's the wolf's tribe chief, who married a daughter of the sun-tribe, or something. I don't know their English names though (and barely remember their french ones).  I left it with those two having two young kids.
I starting learning to draw with him as model. I used tracing paper to copy my models at first, I'm pretty sure I still have them somewhere.

I loved EQ!!.. I used to get to the comic shop when the new releases were going to drop.  I even had a few of the books.

Alas! they were lost to moves (When i was in the military they had a weight restriction on how much they would ship, so many of my books were left when i moved onto a new assignment.)

FireNope, I'm glad to see you here! I hope you will find us good company, and will want to share some of your work here as well as on AO3.

Your method of learning to draw (tracing over existing art works) sounds like mine. Those early efforts are now long gone...

Another EQ reader here, also, from many years ago. My housemates at one time had a large collection of EQ books, and I read them all; haven't seen any of them since moving from there, mumblesomething decades ago.
