Fey Winds

Post by Saber Knight »

Since softball practice got cancleled, here goes my comic.

For this week, I've chosen Fey Winds.

It's a fantasy webcomic. The main characters are Kit, Larina, Nigel and Sid. Kit is a girl that was once a fox, and therefore is a bit clueless on some aspects of human life (like clothes). Larina is a elf girl who randomly gets possesed due to her Stone of Possesion. Nigel is a man who just kinda came out of nowhere and joined their group, claiming that he was cursed and following Kit fit the bill. Sid is a prince cursed so that he sometimes changes into a dragon.

The four are trying to find the gifts of the Sylphe, which are said to lift the strongest curses.

The art is good. Full color the entire time, which is always nice.

It's hard to find my favorites without spoining hte plot, but Sid is a moron. Pretty much a lot.

And Kit really is clueless.

Well, although the basic idea is similar to something I read before, the storyline and characters are still intresting enough to keep me reading. So far, my favorites are this, this, and this.

Well The arts great. and for some reason I like the whole, "I'm looking for legendary items to get rid of my curse, not to save the world, but I'll probably have to do that in the process."
Characters are interesting and Id list my favs but they've already been linkied to by aura and phonox.
Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Taipan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell
That spikes you when you pick it up

I like Fey Winds. The art's great and the plot is interesting, even though it feels like it's been rushed a bit. I do like all the lampshade hanging, though. Also, it's dissapointing that the fangirl wasn't there when the demonized Edward Cullen showed up.

Haha, can't BELIEVE I forgot about that last one.

I laughed soo hard at that Twilight reference.

This comic reminds me a bit of an anime called Rune Soldier. It could totally be a fantasy/comedy anime with the plot it's got going. But anyway, I like it. A tad generic with the main plot, though not enough that I really mind, and the characters are pretty well done (and amusing) so that makes up for it anyway. The anime references are amusing as well, and not overdone like in some comics. Plus, the art is great. Gar already linked to my favorite strip, so I won't do it again, but yeah, it's a pretty good comic. My one thing would be that I wish there'd been a couple more short fun arcs before the main plot really kicked into gear. What's there is enough that the story doesn't really feel rushed (like Inverloch does) but I would have liked to see some more crazy hijinks and character development.

Great comic choice, Saber!
I don't want to repeat, so I won't be talking about how great the artwork is, as well as the lampshading, and how though it does have some familiar elements to its genre, there are are unique aspects of it.

Oh, just did.

Yeah, it would have been nice if she had gone more in-depth with how each of them met. But I guess she wanted to get right to the story for the sake of her early readers. Love all the characters too, except Sid is annoying for obvious reasons.

I'll probably keep following this comic. :-)
