Thank you.
in this new work we are doing now. Tentus will play a larger role then he did in the original WaveDancers. I have always loved the character, and he will have his moments...
No fin also has his part to play in the new work, a cute character still.

The new stories we will tell have nothing to do with ElfQuest, it's world or its characters. We don't have preservers in our story. Though we have No-Wing who we own from the experience of creating the WaveDancers. So we had to create an existence and reason for being for him and our other characters from the Original WaveDancers in the new world we created for our characters.
It is unlikely that we will pursue this story as a children's book at this late stage, but the prequel story of Tilaweed and Hyfus, which also features Tentus and No-Fin will be a comic/graphic novel. Julie and I are currently working on it.

Thank you. Tentus...the old merman (and mer-elf) is a special and dear character from the Old WaveDancers that will feature in this new work that Julie and I are now doing. I'm especially glad to be working with this character again.

I thought she wasn't doing the Wavedancers anymore after whatever that happened with WaRP?

Not too sure who the "she" is that you are referring to, but (as per the contract with Warp Graphics) Julie and I own the characters and the story of the Original WaveDancers.
Contrary to our contract with Warp Graphics, Warp made a public claim of ownership of the Original WaveDancer characters before the characters were meant to be returned to us one year after the last issue saw print (which was in 1994). It then took us 5 years in legal battle to recover what was legally ours anyway. So in the end of all that, we got our characters back with all links to ElfQuest severed from the project.
So we had characters without a stage to perform. So a new world and its particular uniqueness had to be created from scratch for these players to tell their new story. This took some time to come about, and once the world was solidified, we could create the stories for these characters. However, the characters fit differently in this new world, though we have kept familial ties with most of the characters where they appear in the story, some of their relationships have changed.
It was a huge task to reinvent these characters from the ground up, yet keeping that something special that was worth fighting for for all those years.
We did look at bringing the characters out in a children's book, but found that there would be too much editorial interference to what we wanted to create, so we abandoned that avenue (for the time being). However, we had further detailed our would and the characters in it and saw where we might re-enter the story for a comic mini-series/graphic novel, which would be of a radically different tone to the children's book.
What I feel Julie and I have accomplished is characters that are richly conceived with a deep, sometimes dark, yet fun and touching story that will hopefully be our best writing work, and my best painted sequential artwork to date.

The characters that you saw in the original WaveDancers are owned by Julie and me. Excluding the characters from the original ElfQuest story like Winnowill et el that appeared in the story, they belong to Warp. We make it very clear on our website, unfortunately Warp are not as clear on this subject on their website, which is a pity, for legally they should be.

Yes, color is everywhere, it's an interesting exercise to decide what colors go where and how intense to make it. It ended up that the warmer colored area is softer in color then the blue water section which is full strength with color.

Thank you. The detail was fun to do, though it did take extra time to do that stuff. Not set up many prints yet, but I own all the copyrights of my mermaid art, so I should pursue setting that up. thank you for your interest in that.

That's a big call... There are so many wonderful traditional artists here, and I learn with every new discovery, but thank you that you see that in this work.
