Elfquest - Skywise rescuing Leetah

Wendy Pini: Leetah

I just realized something. Mirian might have a certain resemblance to Leetah from Elfquest, but ironically Alyena looks a lot like Winnowill from the same series. Down to similar body shape.

Images under the cut.

Left is Leetah, right is Winnowill. Who doesn’t just look like she would fit right in on Nostramo.

Not Moon Boys or Marvel etc related, but here's a comic page I will probably never ever finish based on my favorite comic ever, ElfQuest. This comic is what got me started on art in general! I remember staying up late reading them over and over again as a kid (although I probably should not have been allowed to read these at the tender age of 10 😅)

I need to draw in this style more often, I love doing the heavy lines and stuff. Though I can't draw animals for shit (obviously)

I can never seem to draw Leetah right, which figures since I love her character so much.

So I saw a post about ElfQuest somewhere forever ago that popped back into my head For Some Reason Thanks Autism and it was someone saying that not only must elves and trolls share a common ancestor, they must be subspecies of the same creature, which... Okay, on one level it makes sense for them to be related species, they're both intelligent immortal humanoids/primates from the same planet. The issue that sticks with me is that the extent of their argument was "Two-Edge exists" - again, makes sense on the surface based on how cross-breeding works in real life, but a quick glance at canon shows that the existence of one "trelf" proves jack shit about Abodean taxonomy.

POINT #1 - WE DON'T KNOW IF TWO-EDGE IS FERTILE

Looking at real-world genetics, while only members of the same/closely related species can produce fertile offspring, there's plenty of real life examples of related species interbreeding to produce infertile hybrids - mules, ligers, etc. With no evidence of Two-Edge having any children, it can't be said conclusively that trolls and elves are closely related.

Well okay, but that still proves they're related species, right?

NOPE, because this is a fantasy world and even if Two-Edge had twenty kids it wouldn't actually prove anything because-

POINT #2 - ELVES CAN MAGICALLY BREED ACROSS THE SPECIES BARRIER

The existence of Timmorn Yellow-Eyes and his descendants the Wolfriders demonstrates that, with a little shapeshifting, elves can produce fertile hybrid offspring with unrelated organisms. Either elves and wolves are the same species when they come from entirely different planets, or genetics is powerless in the face of elven magic.

But there wasn't any shapeshifting involved with Two-Edge's parents!

Are you sure?

POINT #3 - WINNOWILL IS A TRICKY BITCH

Winnowill, Two-Edge's elven mother, is the most powerful flesh-shaper in the entire ElfQuest series, and while the series defines flesh-shaping and shapeshifting separately... are they really? Winnowill herself explains that different disciplines of magic may spring from the same source, that Leetah's healing power may be nurtured into flesh-shaping ability - and shapeshifting may well be the level after that. What are Winnowill's modifications of Tyldak and her own aquatic and human guises if not a shifting of shape? And we know that flesh-shaping can be effective on a genetic level - Winnowill herself is able to edit the infant Windkin's genome to remove his wolf blood and make him pure elf, and the flesh-shaped aquatic features of Wavedancer elves are heritable as proven by baby Korafay. It's not hard to conclude that with practice, flesh-shaping could evolve into shapeshifting, and Winnowill certainly has plenty of practice. The question of why Winnowill would put so much magical effort into a child she fucking hates remains, but knowing her and her pride in her power, she very well might have tried to break the species barrier just to prove she could.

CONCLUSION - Elves and trolls might be related but they certainly aren't conclusively the same species and ElfQuest biology is weird as balls.

Leetah from Elfquest

[nereidof40k]

I need to name her, but here’s a girl from Calth, who is actually not related to any Primarch. Will wonders never cease ?

I’ll expand on the backstory later, but she was born before the Heresy in a high ranking family, but when she was sent off to get married, as you do, her ship was tossed into the future to present day. Well, that’s one way of missing your wedding. Not that it was intentional.

Of course there’s a lot of changes to get used to on Macragge.

Everything and everyone she remembers is gone, except Chairon and Roboute Guilliman.

Reference pictures under the cut as always.

I just love this face so much. Very pretty. The skin color is very much correct too.

I adore redheads, so she gets this hair.

And this eye color.

This body shape, I felt like something more curvy, I’m not small by any means myself. Not the Roman ideal, but that’s their problem.

I admit Leetah from Elfquest was an inspiration. Come to think of that, my girl would look great in similar clothes to this.

Out of picture space, but here’s some examples of the type of clothing she’d wear. Suggestions welcome of course.

[outerspace-iiinnerspace]

anyway on the subject of elfquest. my truest belief is that skywise considers himself 100% heterosexual and if you bring up how often he and cutter fuck he'd be like "no bro, it's not gay because it's a threesome! leetah's there!" meanwhile leetah left half an hour ago and he didn't even notice.

cutter is bisexual but if you tried to ask him his orientation it'd play out like that knuckles pronouns comic. "stop swearing at me"

Three ships: Zevlor x anyone - love that old man. Rolan x anyone - again, someone needs to knock the sass out of that man. I'm really loving the ship @vera-king-hrfl has been writting Cal x Ryldinn - I want to give them both massive hugs and tell them to go fuck LOL!

First ship: oof...I think the first ship I can remember (eek) is Cutter (from Elfquest: Blood of Ten Chiefs) and Leetah (same book), I just loved the way they interacted and fell for each other.

Last song: Princes of the Universe - Queen (on right now)

Last movie: Paint! Owen Wilson is awesome!

Currently Reading: Fanfic, Dune, Stardust (I started it before the news brook about the author, grrrr) and a few others (yay ADHD)

Currently Watching: New Girl (again), but I have a set of favs that I cycle through including Ghost (both the US version AND BBC version), Supernatural, Buffy TVS, The Good Place, Marvel universe shows, and a few others. To be fair though, I haven't been watching except for having New Girl on in the background while making boffer weapons the other day.

Currently eating: trail mix

Currently Craving: finishing my coffee.
