Hello, everyone!

A little while ago, I asked anyone who was willing to look over some character designs for a comic that Maiden-Chynna and I were working on.  Well, all of your feedback (and Chynna's unnatural ability to draw oodles of pictures) have paid off!  You can find the very first artwork of our new comic on our specially-designated dA account!

What's the account's name? TAGQcomic.

Did you like that line?  I had to stay up all night thinking of it...You didn't like it, did you?

Um...Anyway, our new comic has the working title of Eurasia and it's about a knight and his adopted monk taking on missions from their Guild to protect the world from monsters, forces and legends from Medieval Europe and Ancient China.  We're talking ogres, goblins, vampires, lycanthropes, ghosts, jiangshi, zhen, demons and dragons from both sides of the board and whatever else our depraved minds feel like throwing at two well-meaning saps heroes.  If you're a fan of mythology and folklore, or just a fan of any fantasy you can find, I think you'll definitely like the monsters we dig up.  We do painstaking research on them to find out how they should look, fight and what kind of themes factor into their stories.  We also improvise a lot in these stories so that nothing ever feels like we copied it from Wikipedia, but it should definitely be a blast for any myth and folklore buffs out there.

Now that we know there's monsters aplenty, who's gonna be fighting them?

Gavin and Ai: Fighters of Rude People by TAGQcomic
THESE GUYS!

Sir Gavin is a member of The Guild, a highly-organized and spread-out group that takes requests from all over The Highlands and dispatches heroes to deal with them.  Gavin is a long-time member and highly trained and experienced in battle with just about every weapon you've ever seen a knight wield (and a few you haven't) and uses these skills and arsenal to help his fellow man...Though, for some reason, he's much more interested in books and penmanship techniques.  Like, doesn't he know he's a super-cool knight?  Why isn't he looting the caves of Tamrael and picking up chicks?  What is he, a nerd!?  NEEEEEEEEERD!

Ai is a survivor of the Bodhimonda Monastery.  She was stranded and living alone in The Highlands, far from her native Lung Kwok, until she was found by Gavin and taken under his wing.  Although not entirely used to Western culture and living, Ai enthusiastically uses her martial arts training to help Gavin in battle and shares her disturbing thorough knowledge of hand-to-hand fighting with anyone who will listen...or anyone who doesn't want to listen.  Really, she's like a kid who just started playing Pokemon; the only way to end the ceaseless chattering is to shove soap into her mouth or cut your ears off...or both, just to be safe...That's how parenting works, right?

Those of you who know my character Asuka (and especially those of you who started watching me because of Asuka) might take a liking to Ai, as she's essentially a human and trademark-friendly version of her.

We just started posting doodles and concept art for Eurasia onto our dA profile and our accounts on Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and Facebook; all of those usernames are TAGQComic.  If you want to see even more content, you can visit our gallery at our own website, TAGQComic.com.  What does TAGQ stand for?  That's A Good Question...

We'll be posting even more Eurasia stuff on those sites as we continue to work on our first issue and you may even see a few of our other ideas come up along the way.  I hope you enjoyed this round of shameless advertising and that you'll enjoy what you see of Eurasia.
