The girls decided that it was unfair to both the story and the readers to just update whenever, so a new plan of attack was formed.

Q, the writing girl re-wrote sizable portions of the story, re-working the narrative and giving it more pop and bite, transforming it into something a little less self-serving and shallow.

While that was going on, Alex, the art girl drew a 7 page prologue, inspired by the old issue 1.

Where do we go from here?
Well, Q and Alex had a lot of discussion about it, and the pair decided to transform Elven Lacryment into something new, something more useful than a common derivative webcomic.

Elven Lacryment: SHREDS
I have been working on Elven Lacryment in one form or another since 2005. I’m at the point where I refuse to give up, refuse. That’s why I created Elven Lacryment: Shreds.
Elven Lacryment: Shreds is my attempt to make something of Elven Lacryment, to salvage the story and get it out there. SHREDS is the serial novelization of what was going to be Elven Lacryment the online graphic novel.
I have been working on it since late February 2011, and currently it clocks in at over 24,500 words and 8 chapters. I try to write at least a page a day.

Unfortunately at this time I have no idea how long before the novel is finished, I have no word count goal, I have no deadline and I am writing it erratically. The trade off is that I am the ruler of my own domain here, master of my own fate, working for none but myself. Because if you want something done right, do it yourself…

Upon completion and editing I plan on putting a chapter up every two or so weeks, and make the entire thing available for ebook for a small price. Therefore the reader can wait for each new chapter, or download it in it’s entirety and read it in one fell swoop. I like giving options.

The comics will remain archived here, because this is there home and always will be.

Elven Lacryment: Shreds will tell the same story I always intended to tell  since 2005, never the less I consider this to be a new era for Elven Lacryment. I hope you enjoy what it will become.

Yeah, big changes are happening here.

Sorry we took so long, once again my laptop  fricassee’d itself.  We’ve both been working on new projects too.

Alex’s is art for a new comic which can be seen here .

Mine is a novel.

Anyway, the old version of this page were pages 10 and 11.

Sorry we’re late.
My laptop was in the shop and Alex was extremely busy but here we are.

Just so you all know, Elven Lacryment will be changing servers and renewing the domain name so there might be some down time. Keep up to date with the going’s on with Q’s twitter.

Once again, this page condenses a lot of the old pages. This is the old page, which was 8.

You might notice we have more dialog this time around. In our first attempt, I just wanted the images to speak for themselves, but that proved confusing to the readers, so hopefully it’s more clear now. Also, this page sort of condenses a bunch of old ones, so…here’s the old page 5.

My, my, Alex sure had fun with the page layout, didn’t she? Dynamic, isn’t it? And here’s the old version.

Well, here we are at page 2. A scream rips it’s way through the village and wakes the community. Once again, you can compare it to the old version.

The first page. Compare it with the old page. You can see the improvement. Alex, you’re amazing.

Well, we’re back! It seems we’re going to be updating on the First Friday of every month.
You know you missed us.
