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

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.

Flairé shirt files

We all like pickles. Except for AlexR and .t

We all like pickles. Except for AlexR and .t

Yeah? 'Sup?

Yeah? ‘Sup?

I now have a shirt with these pictures on them, so now I can show you the pictures!! Top image is not full size but full size is 900 px across and I didn’t think you wanted that.

Flairé’s tunic came out wonderfully smooth on the shirt, and… the rest of him, too, actually. Except for his face. It was a little blotchy. I remember making a Photoshop-smoothed version, but I must not have emailed it to myself. The shading on the hair and sleeves is by my French Grey art makers; the shading on the cloak is from a black marker, a grey marker, and the grey marker gone over twice to get a darker shade. It might not wholly make sense, but it looks pretty good, I guess. Actually on the shirt itself it’s a little hard to tell.

Anyway. You like? I like for sure.

(a small hand appears through the doorway with a torch)

Jen: Leslie! Are you all right?

Leslie: Jen?! What are you doing here? And why do you have a sword?

Jen: Ummmmm… I’m here to rescue you! And it’s a rapier, ’cause I actually know how to use one sorta! And no Saxophone Alex jokes!

Chibi Saxophone Alex: Bwahaha


…No, Chibi Saxophone Alex is not actually there. But he would probably make an inappropriate comment at this point, so I drew him in because I felt like it. Oh, and hey, it’s me! I’m not sure what you folks will think of self-insertion. But as long as you consider me just as another character, I don’t think you’ll be bothered. More will become clear next page.

I was doing the colouring late last night and I really nearly messed up on the backgrounds.

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.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Creepy Bishounen

Leslie: (falls out of large Abduction-bag™)Who are you? W-what do you want with me?

Burly soldier: Be quiet, shrimp. (whaps Leslie)

Elkyari: Be nice, soldier. You don’t know how long we’ll have to keep this one.

Leslie: (shiver)


Oh my! A nice looking red-haired guy! Maybe he’s a good guy! …Maybe not. But now that I know he doesn’t look like a sack of potatoes maybe I’ll make him into an actually character. I mean, he doesn’t even have a name.

I’m sad that you can’t see how buff Mr. Bad Guy is because his suit is so dark, so here is the lineart. He looks a little psycho, though. o_O Hmmm.

It’s an indistinct blobby room! D :

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Dun Dun Dunnn!

Flairé: Flaria, be a sweetheart and grab me some travelling things, would you? I need to go look for Miss Leslie.

Flaria: What’s happened?

Flairé: The extremists have snatched her out from under my very nose. They’re an alert gang… I’ll make sure they’re not so alert after tonight… |: (


Dun dun dunnn! : D

Kitchens are hard. Flaria puts her hair in a braid when she’s working in ’em. Good idea, no? And I’m not sure what Flairé does with those long dramatic laces on his gauntlets. I think he tucks them inside somewhere.

Determined Flairé is determined. And sexy. Imo.

I went for a walk today in the bright sun, and my brother and I basically spent the whole walk trying to calculate if it was more sensible to use a single bolt or take advantage of the Warhammer High Elves’ awesome repeater bolt thrower which fires six shots at S4. We determined eventually that there is indeed a higher chance of killing knights (or whatever) by using six bolts. Mystery solved! After much math, including factoring in Lady’s Saves and things like that…

Did you ever realize just how present the piano is in the Battle of Hoth? Awesome.

Flairé: Miss Leslie? Did you find your room all right? (sniffs the air) ! Leslie?!

(sees note on the floor): The little human is ours. You can do nothing to help her, Nieron Flairé. Bow to our wishes!


I like drawing Flairé. I only wish his castle matched up to him. Oh well. If you’re wondering that is a hallway that has bedrooms and such off of it. Except you can’t see the doors because… the walls have pillars sticking out of them. That you can’t tell. Yessss. : P

I am solar powered! I must be, because the last couple of days have been beautiful! And suddenly I feel like doing things! Practicing, playing Guild Wars, cleaning up, drawing, running – I went for a run yesterday!

Flairé: Yes, I’m very proud of you. (pats head)

Yay! So now it’s kind of misty out today-

Flairé: Great West Coast weather. My fave!

-but after we get back from the Via Choralis concert in Sidney I am going for another run.
