For many, many years, I've tried to get a commission or sketch of Ember, daughter of Cutter and Leetah of Elfquest fame, for my eldest daughter, Allie.
Allie fell for Elfquest as a young girl and really thought Ember was the best - a 15 year old with wit, character, and beauty. She told me about that and for more than a decade I've kept my eyes open.
Earlier this year, Wendy announced she'd be doing sketches on 1/4th of an 11x17 print featuring most of the cast. I wasn't able to attend any of the conventions that she was attending, but Mike DeLeRee of NSNart was willing to approach her at Phoenix Con if he got a break and the line wasn't too long.
Well, all three factors align - Mike was willing, Mike had a break, and Wendy didn't have a long line! The result is a Christmas present that Allie really enjoyed.
Thanks, Mike!
