Scumbase

I'm a real sucker for art nouveau.  I like it even more when I find it tastefully done, because there *is* such a thing as too much.  So when I happened upon this website, the artwork caught my eye.

I bookmarked it and read a few pages, but the story didn't seem totally compelling.  The other day, I was scanning my bookmarks and ran across this one, so I sat down to read it.  I'll let the author/artist tell you about it in her own words.

The story started out kinda like most Harlequin Romances.  I've nothing against those books, but they often have a tendency to be formulaic.  Tami Wicanas has deviated from the path, however, with the introduction of a forest king/being/fairy .. something who woos one of the sisters down the garden path.  Tami also doesn't mind shedding a bit of blood in a good cause, so this story holds promise.

Now, about that artwork .. I've cropped down to content here rather than gift you with all that nouveau frippery that I love.  But enlarge it and look at the embroidery on the first piece and the tree golem in the second.  I hope you'll agree the comic is worth a look-see.  At 119 pages, it's an easy sit down to read .. no backlog of yeaaars, Kami.

Enjoy!
