The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Gratuitious Nom

Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

Jen: That’s right!


Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.

Flaria: Hooray! You’re back safely!

Flairé: Yes, indeed we are, sister! Do you have food?

Flaria: Oh, Flairé, just look at these rips and tears… Do you know how long it will take me to fix that? Continue reading

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: You’re Still Here!

Jalril is waiting beside a glorified hole in the ground in a swamp.

Jen: Jalril! You’re still here!

Jalril: I am. You are unhurt, all of you?

Flairé: Never better. Let’s get away from here, though.

They ride off into relatively blue skies, if not sunshine.


What, you expect SUNSHINE in the Pacific Northwest? Fat chance! lol, actually it was pretty sunny out yesterday. I should know. I went shopping all over town.

I hope I never have to draw swamps again. Or forest roads. I’m soooo bad at them and they just annoy me. The hillside was supposed to be lush and green but I fell into the same kind of mistake that I make with my mini bases and made it mostly dirt instead. Blah. But isn’t Deerfleet cute? I adore Deerfleet. He’s just a kid.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Daring Swordfights

Flairé, Leslie, and Jen dash for the exit, fighting their way through more enemies.


Okay, fun fact about this page! Leslie was going to help out by throwing rocks at people, because she’s helpful, but the first guy she threw a rock at just swung his weirdo-weapon (whaddya call that thing anyway? It’s not an axe, or a lance, or a long-handled sword, or a scythe… what is it? …a pole-blade? That’s a dumb name) like a baseball bat and almost got Jen in the head with the rock. So Leslie decided it would be better if she didn’t throw rocks.

The archer isn’t very good, though.

What’s that in the last panel, though? Could it be…?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH my news is so crazy I have to scream, okay? I’ve been perpetually mentally screaming since about 4:45 yesterday, when I found out I’M GOING TO THE PROVINCIALS AT NATIONAL LEVEL AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH That’s crazy talk!!! I’m nowhere near good enough! I’ve improved a ton over the last year but not that much!! I’m no Shika Card!

Also, I have a really shiny scroll made of red wood. Dr. Robin Wood Memorial Award! Seeing as the last five winners are Shika, Lisa, Shika, Lisa, and Shifra, that’s pretty impressive company.

Btw I’m a little suspicious of all this good fortune. Perhaps I play certain styles really well, but my technique leaves a LOT to be desired. While I’ve improved, there is still no guarantee I will play all the right notes! And this is why I don’t think I am really fit to be recommended to all these awards and things.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Let’s Go!

Leslie: Of course I can! That swordfighting was amazing! You didn’t even kill anyone!

Flairé: (rubs the back of his head awkwardly) Eheh, no, I didn’t. People would be really mad if I did. Never mind the fact that I ought to be really mad at them for what  might have happened to you!

Voices from further in the base: Intruders!? Where? The prince? Where is the captain? Get them!

Flairé: Let’s go, my ladies! We still need to get out of here!

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: He’s a Prince

Leslie: I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble.

Flairé: The heck? I’m the one who should apologize for letting them get you. I might not be able to forgive myself. (kneels to Leslie) Miss Leslie, can you ever forgive me for my shortsightedness, inattention, and slow response time?

Leslie: (blinks at him)


Hey guys here is lineart as promised! Colour tomorrow. I seem to have given up on commas for the sake of entertainment. Anyway, (oops, comma – guess I’m back to normal) I wanted to draw Leslie REALLY REALLY PURDY in that last panel but I drew her mouth too far to the right in the pencil sketch and tried to fix it without using an eraser first… FAIL!! Also I fail at cheekbones. But yeah, Flairé is a prince and a bit of a goof so he would totally do the kneeling thing and I DREW A DOORWAY DO YOU GUYS LIKE MY DOORWAY THAT I STUCK IN!?

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Pwn’d!

Leslie: (goes CHOMP on the bad guy’s hand)

Enemy soldier: AAGH

Other enemy soldiers: OH NO SHE HAS SUDDENLY BECOME FEISTY

Jen: Why is feisty only applied to mildly violent women? Continue reading

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Angry Face!

(totally hardcore battle-noises as Flairé fights off the assassin group)

Leslie: (appears out of door behind Jen) Flairé!

Jen: Yay!

Flairé: ‘Lo, girls.

Jen: Flairé! –

Leslie: (YOINK)

Black-haired assassin: (holding Leslie at knife-point) Stop! Surrender!

Everyone: …

Leslie: … >: (


Page is sketched. I invite you to compare it to the original stick figures in the last two panels. ttncaofleslieangryface

I think I like the original stickies better. The Leslie angryface >: ( anyway.

The guy holding Leslie is totally based off of Edgeworth. Except with black hair.

Colour will be up later but for now I have to practice while my chocolate rush is still on. Mmm… I love chocolate.

SO I GOT A SILVER MARKER and it’s pretty cool but I think I overused it.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Baby Griffon

ttncaofep1pg22

First     Back      Next

Leslie: Deerfleet?

Jen: A really nice young guy. He wants to be a warrior like Flairé, but he’s not very good yet. Like me. (Jalril is shiny and serene, with a baby griffon curled up at his feet sleeping) Nice dress, by the way.

Leslie: Thanks! Flairé got it for me.

Jen: Anyway, shall we go? We have to make sure Flairé’s all right.

Leslie: If he’s not all right, aren’t we in trouble?

Jen: O_O This is true. (runs up stairs) Flaaaaaiiiiiréee!!


Hi! I’m very pleased with the way Jalril turned out. And look he has a widdle baby griffon with him! Leslie is somewhat perturbed by my hyper good cheer.

Darn. I forgot the flowers in the grass.

If you take a look at the sidebar, you’ll have no doubt noticed that I have decided to participate in Script Frenzy (the April NaNoWriMo, after a fashion – only this is to write 100 pages of script in 30 days!). You may even have noticed that it’s going to be about Flairé. Maybe you will panic, thinking that I’m going to abandon this current comic. Well, fear not. This one I will be sticking with to the end (which is in about ten more pages). But I do have plans for sequels, and while I will be taking a break between episodes to recuperate the old creative abilities (and maybe to improve my art? maybe?) I do want to continue this project.

My brother is also going to do maybe his own private Script Frenzy for an opera libretto.

The Script Frenzy website, by the way, is well worth visiting if only for the plot generator on the front page.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Sword Discussion

ttncaofep1pg21

First     Back      Next

Leslie: Teehee… that is definitely something he would make fun of…

Jen:   : D   (opens door to cell)

Leslie: What was that thump?

Jen: (hugs Leslie) That was Flairé knocking somebody out. I hope you didn’t think it was me! I’m not that good!

Leslie: Then what is the swo- rapier for?

Jen: Well, I can defend myself long enough that Flairé can come to my rescue. I’m about an equal sparring partner for Deerfleet.

Chibi Flairé: (is not there) You’re prolly wondering why I brought her along, then…


The title of this page comes from the fact that my sword-expert (not really) brother refuses to acknowledge my rapier as a rapier. He says it looks like a sabre. He also wants to know why Leslie and I have shiny on the back of our heads where the (offscreen) torch doesn’t shine.

EDIT: It’s totally not a rapier. It’s a combat foil or something. Like, it has a sharp pokey tip, but it doesn’t have the stiffness etc. of a real rapier. I know this now.

I would totally talk in emoticons if I could.

Bad art this week. Sorry.
