Epic FailThis week in Epic Fail: Tinuvielle tries to sensitively explain to Yoru that he is half-demon.
Creator’s Commentary: I know what you’re thinking “Finally – an update!” Am I right? Well I’m sorry to say I’m not back to my regular schedule yet. Thanks to all my fans for being so patient – both of you 🙂
This week in Epic Fail: Tinuvielle expresses her hatred of smoking and is shocked to learn exactly how fast her baby is growing up. Yoru says Hi.
Creator’s Commentary: It seems I’m getting pithier with my page recaps!
I am delighted to finally introduce Tinuvielle’s son, Yoru. He’s been sitting in my website banner for some time now, but I never revealed who he was (though I’m sure some of you suspected). Well, now you know. I hope it wasn’t an anticlimax.
I stole the dialogue in the first frame directly from the lady who role-plays Tinuvielle, word for word, because it made me laugh. Doing the facial expressions was a scream too.
Also, smoking is bad. (Actually I really do hate smoking, it damages your health and makes you smell bad. Really bad. Don’t do it).
Ani means Sister. So when Yoru says “Ani Kaitei” that’s “Sister Kaitei.” ‘Cos she’s a nun.
Antoine of The Drunken Fools drew this really cool Fan Art of Clodin. He seems to be my most popular character – I have more fan art of him than anyone else! Must be that dwarvish charm, but I think he earned a lot of kudos for making out with Tinuville.
Antoine says “Epic Fail is to me the story of a Dungeon & Dragons game, played by people on booze.”
Well, since we used to play above a Bar there is an element of truth in that!
I’ve made the decision to change how I update the Epic Fail. From now on new updates will be coloured, but not shaded. This is because the shading, pretty though it is, takes me ages! I want to update reliably each week without getting stressed. Late updates aren’t fun for anyone. So, basically, I will concentrate on giving you a fun story and pretty it up later.
This will give me more time which I’ll use to:
1) Rebuild my buffer so I can still update when the unexpected happens.
2) Do those Webcomic Cameos and other things I promised to do but didn’t get around to.
3) Fix spelling mistakes, continuity errors, and pages that just plain suck.
4) Go to Comic Conventions.
No promises, but I may even update more regularly. We’ll see how things go. For the time being I’m shifting my update schedule to Thursdays.

This week in Epic Fail: Clerics of Guan Yin stream out of the temple to heal the injured in the aftermath of the explosion. One heals Tinuvielle of her burns who explains she has come to see her son, Yoru. The cleric reacts to the name with some alarm, worrying Tinuvielle who demands to know what is wrong. The young Cleric says she will take her to the Matriarch, and we learn that Yoru is not a normal baby.
Creators Commentary: Where the Clerics hand is supposed to be doing a blessing it is actually doing ‘The Shocker.’ This is completely unintentional but may it give joy to all of you with dirty minds!
This week in Epic Fail: Tinuvielle is awakened by a little boy poking her in the face. She is not amused. He tells her they have arrived at the temple and she immediately leaps out the carriage to discover her luggage is being unpacked rather hap-hazzardly. This is dangerous because she has volatile potions in her pack! She warns the fools but it’s all to no avail. The potions are thrown of the back of the carriage and land with force, exploding in a large fireball. Tinuvielle is burned and extremely hacked off!
Creators Commentary: Panel 6 worked out better than I could have hoped. I redrew it about 8 times before finally just writing BOOM! in the box. Then I drew Tinuvielle with a near panty-shot in the hopes that it would distract people.
I’m still working without a buffer and have no idea what to draw for the next page by the way…
Amuletts is invited to take a seat… and she does, going away believing this kingdom is far more generous than she at first believed. The three fighters come to a consensus on the name of their company: Shieldless. With no appreciation for the irony they head off to the armourers directly afterwards to buy Shields for themselves.
I’ve changed the style of the eyes in this page, you will see they now have pupils. What do you think?
