Vogelein, the Clockwork Faerie

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

I was inspired and touched by proteus_lives post, and I wanted to refresh the memories of the old S_D board, as well as entice new members to look and take in this inspired craft. Here is the homepage.

The first page from the 1st book.









We get Vogelein flying around the city she lives in, trying to find the right person to trust, before her time runs out.
Humanity around her doesn't show the care she needs, and Vogelein moves on...

I'll cut to her first meeting....
















and that should be a decent teaser. I got this after reading it on the old Scans_Daily, so let it be said that you do have converters willing to fork out good money for good art.

(for the mods, the entire book is 168 pages)

Interesting.

Glad to see this here...I'm a big fan of Jane Irwin's work. Both volumes of Vogelein are highly recommended.

Nice - I'd heard a bit about this, but I'd never seen any of it. Some beautiful artwork.

I remember posting this. :)

It's not a bad comic, with a following of only about a thousand people.

Realize I'm a little bit late to the party and all, but I thought I'd mention that Jane Irwin has a new comic project she's been working on, the last year or so. Here's the link to the opening strip: http://www.clockwork-comics.com/2008/03/prologue.html It's a bit of a break from her work on Vogelein; she's doing a historical fiction based on "The Turk," created in the late seventeen hundreds by a Hungarian nobleman and billed as a "chess-playing automaton." Irwin put a great deal of research into the strip, but it's the way she characterizes the people involved that really carries the story and gives it a great deal of sincerity.

BAH, Billy has no time for your formatting!
