So much love

I try to not hark on this too much (it gets weird out there sometimes) but holy /shit/ Ellie is gorgeous. That hair, that smile, those fucking eyes could stop a person dead in their tracks. A lot of your characters are sexy af, Elk, and a lot of different reasons. Force of personality, depth of emotions, loyalty, openness, forgiveness, all of those things are attractive to me. But I think Ellie is the most stunning. Part of it is how I imagine her to be: genuinely kind, distantly (and sometimes not so distantly) sad about her circumstance, but also filled with a zest for living. I can't help but think her a bit airy at times, and then she just blasts you with a steel chair of a sarcastic wit that makes you stumble in your ribbing. The ol' roasting rope-a-dope. Idk. Maybe the color-theory work is doing a lot of lifting here, but she just looks so... I don't know. Timeless? in her beauty? Am I just in a low mood and this resonated with the right chord? Reading this back makes me see how jumbled this is lol. You make really pretty squiggles on the page, and I hope you don't ever lose the drive to share your mind and heart with us.

Is she winking or is her eye swollen shut? Did a meal get a punch in?

Your style is goddamned captivating is all I'm saying. Some illustrations you can imagine what their voices sound like or imagine what happens right after. You must only use this power for evil.

You gotta do a comic where she's drawn normally and everyone else are mini, ya know, for practice :D

Shabcrab

Awwww, this is so beautiful ❤️. Thank you, Elk!!

Caroline Catlett Gates

Thanks! Stumbled a little on Ellie. I've grown far too comfortable drawing the mini goblin version of her haha.

Richard

Just wanted to say that I think your faces are fantastic. Especially Eli's in this drawing. So expressive!

Racheal

YESSSSSS!! LORE!!

They are a friendly pair after a substantial meal. I am certain there have been many tourists who were happily regaled ignorant to the fate of those who last encountered them, haha.

Yeah I realized it said 1976 and not 1876 like I thought at first glance, so of course she'd be a vampire by then. And yes, very much love the fun sized lore drops. Still waiting for the full sized bar some day.

Many pointed out his fluffy appearance in the TVD drawings, he was a bit yes. As a vampire, he goes through multiple bouts of malnourishment. Ellie as well in the beginning.

Caroline Catlett Gates

Yes! I'm back working on TVD for a bit today before figuring out Reckoning. Glad you dig the snack size lore drops. And yes, both are vampires by this decade. ❤️

Ellie and Eli are the Call of the Void for me. This picture is so wholesome and wonderful and they would consume me whole if I was nearby and they were feeling snacky. But I can't help but imagine I'd still want to know these eldritch monstrosities and hear their stories even knowing all that.

See it's the little bits of family lore like this I keep waiting for betwixt the hilarious shenanigans. We know some dark tragic shit happened with this family, but not much of what yet. Also I can't help but notice Ellie's eye is blue here.
