Hello! I’m here to promote my new fantasy webcomic, (Not) a Fairy Tale. The 25-page prologue is already up and the first chapter is set to begin posting on next Wednesday, Dec 23 (with new pages posted every Wednesday evening).

The story is a (very) loosely based adaptation of the The Lady and the Lion (Brothers Grimm), with art by nisecal. Besides the prologue, the website also features character design sketches and original outlines. And for easy access to the comic each week, you can follow it on the livejournal community tanaal.

Please come check us out! This is our first project and feedback is very appreciated.

Note: Though the prologue is decidedly PG, future chapters will contain adult themes and situations, so be advised.

The picture of the octopus peeking out of the shell is so cute!

Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

I've just found this community so it's my first post here. :)

My webcomic is currently being updated (every friday) with special features for the comic this includes character profiles, pictures, about sections, and loads of other little fun things that goes with the story.

The webcomic itself is still in the works and is being written (by myself) and drawn by cactus_smollet

The webcomic follows the story of Eliza, an eighteen year old girl who finds herself in Victorian England and realises she has a quest to complete before she can go back to the home she misses so dearly.

We also have a making of: blog that explians what we're doing at this moment in time with the comic and gives a good insight into what we're doing in order to make it. :D
