I admit to never really being into ElfQuest. I remember my uncle had cases and cases of the original comics and when I was a kid, I’d sneak looks at them. For some reason I thought there was something implicitly dirty about ElfQuest. Something about it just made me embarrassed to admit I was interested in it. Maybe it had to do with the effemininity of the male characters… or the fact that they were quite often bare-chested. Whatever the reason, I didn’t really get into it.
We actually met the creator of Elfquest at NY Comic Con a few weeks ago. She and Kitt were going on like they’d known each other for years– it was weird. Anyhoo– this is “Cutter,” the main character of the series. Of course, on my site is the nuder version. (Natcherly!)
And next up is a piece I’ve done for Freshmen magazine. Hopefully my working relationship with them will become more regular because not only is getting paid a great motivator (heh,) it also makes for some interesting pieces for my portfolio. The story here is about a high school kid who gets “invaded” by a mysterious masked intruder. Again, on my site is a raunchier version.
Hey JC!
Nice Elf pic! I have to admit, I kind of had a thing for Elves when I was younger, and too see them in The Lord Of The Rings – well I rest my case.
Funny how you had a thing for them when you were younger. I remember telling Patrick when his blog first started how I used to watch The Masters Of The Universe and hope for a gush of wind to lift He-Man’s lap lap up so I can see what was underneath, These days I look at a Superman comic or when I buy a Superman action figure the first thing I do is check out his butt!
Really nice work too I must add, your Elf seems to be much softer than your other Toons, and not the rough bad boy image that I am used too from you. Really nice six pack also. Have you considered doing more of them and taking a different appraoch that what you normally would? You seem to have a real knack for it and it would be interesting to see if you explored those avenues.
Anyway, great work and give yourself a huge pat on the back, your work just improves by leaps and bounds each time I look at it.

BWAHAAHAAA!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! *hugs* OMGOSH!! I can’t believe it! This is so awesome! I gotta show all my EQ friends ^_^ …ah…the clean version, I mean….hmmm…on second thought…maybe I’ll show them the not so clean version, too ^_^. THANK YOU, SWEETIE!!! It made me laugh when his loincloth suddenly vanished! Thank goodness I was in the house alone! ^o~
JC! ^_^ This is awesome! I love both of them, but the elf is seriously cool! I love the beautiful detail of his flaccid intact cock. It’s not often we get to see your men flaccid. Very nice! I happen to like elves a lot, so this is a special treat! Thanks!
Long time no blog 😉
Though I prefer orcs, this is one sexy elf. Plus I wish that burgular crept in my house! Fantastic work JC!
You did a great job with Cutter, he came out very sexy. I love the new site layout. Its looking awsome. I’m so very excited to see your next comic, it has me in much anticipation. I’d love to do some more fan art for you. Cause i have been reading your comics latley, so i might sketch some stuff for you out of Love! 😀 Keep up the great work!!
“Digital Printing on Canvas.” well, can’t say that I’ll forget that! lol! Thanks for finding out, dude. Oh, and I know what u mean with the action figures. It’s like– they cant go too overboard with the front bulges but boy do they ever give them some well-sculpted butts!
As for doing more elves– well I do have some elf characters of my own design that I can work on. See, I’d feel guilty doing more ElfQuest chars. becasue I dont really know the series. I dunno– I feel like doing fan-art of a series you dont follow is sorta blasphemus. LOL– maybe that’s just me.
I will be trying my best to explore different approaches and experimenting more. You can count on that! Anyway, thanks for the compliment, Manny.
Yeah, Kitt– plaster it on those EQ boards. I’d like to hear what they have to say about it. His proportions are all wrong. For those that don’t know, the EQ chars. have kinda midget proportions. I abandoned that idea for MY version of Cutter, though. haw haw.
Hey Dreamerboy! Glad u like Cutter. Yeah, it’s true that I dont show flaccid dick very often in my work. Something about it seems so… artsy. I dont like artsy. I like bold-in-your-face-no-apologies-porn-comix! LOL. Everytime I draw a soft one, I think, “hmm… artsy.” and erase it for a raging boner! But I do recognize that I should show them soft more if for no other reason but variety.
Hey Adam G. Where ya been? I still check your blog every other day like, “when’s this cat gonna update this thing?” haha. Thanks for commenting!
And finally, my boy, DigitalMirage. I’m plowing away at issue 3 (just finished a page where Tai kills a monkey.) It’s gonna be my hottest / funniest one yet. And u know I never turn away fanart! I actually havent gotten any since I dropped outta Y! so it’d be a nice surprise! Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve sent you an e-mail! (the anti-heroes one)
Haha, that’s funny that you’d say that about “artsy” stuff, JC. Just the other day I was trying to figure out why exactly it is that you’ve become one of my all-time favorite artists, even surpassing some of my old favorites. The conclusion I came to is that often their work just comes across as “artsy” and loses some of its eroticism because of that. Your work is often brimming with abundant, hot, unbridled sexuality. It’s just funny that you’d confirm it in so many words. ^_^
Hey Adam– I didn’t get an email.
Hey Dreamerboy– it’s so flattering to be someone’s fave artist! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Well, hopefully my style will continue to evolve and who knows– maybe one day my stuff will magically turn into “high art” AHAHAHAH. That’ll be the day!
In one of the Tom of Finland books I have, there’s a quote that’s really stuck with me for years. He says, “If I’m doing a drawing and don’t have an erection, I know it’s not good.” Words of wisdom, man.
Hey JC,
Erections while drawing! So what does it mean when you get one while walking down the street??
