I absolutely love the novelty of this fantasy world and the main character, it is even inspiring part of my world building for my DnD campaign. So if Queen Simia sees this, please come back, even if it's to repost the pages in color or to at least say hi. You definitely still have some support here.
Wow. I'm kinda upset that this just stopped here. and that was 5 years ago. I feel like this was really going somewhere. And the art was fantastic. What a shame.
It is indeed disappointing that this comic seems to have been abandoned. The artwork, layouts, plotting, character delineation and dialogue were extremely well done. I'll check back from time to time to see if any progress has been made as it seems a shame that a work like this can't be continued.
Unless you were there when the world was last hatched on the back of the giant terapin, no one starts at the beginning, there is almost constant 'backstorying' and revisionary reworking of history as we learn new things about what brought us to this point. Really liked what you had done so far, but if you feel you need to do a 'do-over' that's fine, just please keep what you have done
@Shremedy: As much as I wanted to avoid the dreaded "reboot," it looks like that's the direction I'll be taking. Unfortunately there are a lot of storytelling problems with the current plot line that can't be fixed without completely rebuilding the story and setting from the ground up.
I've been doing a lot of craft experimentation lately as well as research into non-Western comic production. The good news is, I think it'll benefit Elspeth greatly in the long run. The bad news is, I'm not really sure how long it'll take. Right now everything is still in the theoretical stage; I really should've spent more time in development before starting in the first place, but I thought back then it'd force me to keep working on it if I just launched myself in head-first. Obviously now not a good idea.
I've been posting mainly at Tumblr these days: queensimia.tumblr.com. Once things get rolling, I'll post the news there first.
Sorry again to everyone about disappearing. Comics be hard, yo.
Going back to Falassar, Elspeth has a good case for him to buy human made bows, and that case is based on he wouldn't want to be caught dead using human made bows.
What if he needs to send a couple of fireteams out on a deniable operation? They use the best elven weaponry available, well, that makes it harder to deny that they are there on his orders, right? They show up using Human made weapons, that weighs against the theory he sent them.

Good-looking thumbnail on the random strip made me look *again* in 2024!

Obviously real life has not cooperated with the artist. Queen Simia, are you going to be able to resume this anytime soon? Or at all?

Hiatus or no hiatus, I am voting for you on the Drunkduck awards anyway. So there!

I guess this comic is pretty dead now? :(
