Thanks for noticing!

Special for the forum, here's some BE elf...

 Is the Elflife prequel Babes in the Woods included in the Bookelves archives? I cant find it there.

[carsonfire]

Had to give up the elflife domain, and haven't moved everything over, yet. There's a new archive system that 'Babes' will go into, along with some other missing comics.

By the way, the wimpy title "Elf Life" is gone forever. We changed it Alfheim.

I kind of liked "Elf Life"

Anyway - the archive is  here. as of January 2008.
Try looking up "Book Eight"

 Hum, needs color...  

 

[carsonfire]

Nifty colors! I especially like the textures on the rock and fins. Would you mind if I reposted this in my blog?

If anybody's looking for Thea in the older comics, here are some quick links:

She first appears as an incidental villain, here:

And then reappears to become a major cast member, here:
http://www.bookelves.com/archive/alfheim7-2.php?p=20

In fact, she dominates the comic for a long time, there, starting with some mermaid cosplay, and leading into the Tale of the Ancienk Mariner. My art style was choppy and weird at the beginning of these comics, but gets much better as it progresses, I think.

In this new series, she's going to be part of the core cast, and become part of a team of magic users trained by a powerful faerie.

   You mean we get to see more of her.  As if I needed another reason to read your comic.

[carsonfire]

Did I mention that there's a whole ship of renegade pirate mermaids on the way?

[Nimrod]

Blog post away - had fun with the color.
 

 Where is that blog again?

Bah! Nobody can ever find my blog!

While posting this, it made me remember that somewhere I've got a drawing of Thea by the legendary Ben Dunn. I'll be reposting that soon.

Prymno, here (the big blue mermaid first introduced in "Babes"). The mermaid pirate ship sails into view today.

Is it OK to update this thread like this every so often? I can't lie, I appreciate the attention!

[TheHerald]

I think if you want to make regular updates, it would much better if you started a thread in this forum -  Update Announcements - since that is where people should be looking and/or posting on that subject. I used to think it was meant for Galleries hosted by the BEA site, but apparently all websites are welcome there.

Ahhhh... uber-busty mermaids... is there anything they can't do?

Besides the obvious

[cars]

Oops, I seem to have two accounts. Oh, well, it's me, again!

I haven't made as much progress as I'd like since I've been here last, so there hasn't been an excuse to make *regular* updates. But here's a new wallpaper I posted earlier today. It includes a new mermaid character I was thinking about introducing, Eurynome the bottomless-bosomed bottom feeder!

I have a whole bunch of neat ideas for her, but judging from the reaction so far, I don't think I'm going to get away with it. I was already pushing the limits for a "mainstream" fantasy comic with Thea and the others. I'm even starting to worry if I'm going to be able to get away with an entire boatload of mermaids like I was planning. That would have been a great excuse for a constant stream of new busty characters.

Glasses+Inventor-type (I'd guess)+most busty, all good things.

One theory might be to add one non-busty mermaid.  She would worry about not fitting in with the others.  It might add some balance to the mermaids.

Maybe with her being not busty (or at least by comparison), she would have trouble walking up-right, always tripping or losing her balance.  That might imply the mermaids are designed to be busty.
