Hello!
Before I get started here, I just want to thank @merej99 for introducing me to Hive and I also want to apologize to @merej99 for taking a month to finally post to it. :)
So, my name is Daphne Lage and I am a cartoonist, illustrator, and comic book artist out of New York. I have been self-publishing independent fantasy comics since 1992 and like I always say, y'all can do the math yourself.
From children’s illustrations to commissioned pieces for private collections all over the world, I specialize in pen and ink illustration with digital coloring, but I also like to work in traditional media as well like color pencils, markers, and watercolor.
But my main creative loves are the two fantasy comic series that have been keeping me busy for the better part of three decades and if you're familiar with the comic scene a bit, we may even crossed paths at one point.
TALL TAILS
TALL TAILS is the comic that started it all. A furry fantasy adventure epic in the style of The Lord of the Rings. Currently running 29 issues over 4 story arcs TALL TAILS is the story of Ravenwood, Pandora, Klea, Silvermain, Gabriel, and Raulph, friends and warriors in search of the fabled Great Seal of Iberion, stolen from the possession of their benefactor. In their quest, they become unwittingly entangled in a bitter war between the Rats and the Trolls and soon must learn what their own characters are truly made of.
We just completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for Volumes 1 & 2 collecting the series with Volume 3 scheduled to come out later this year.
You can actually check out a video I made all about the series!
EGORAVEN: HEIR OF THE FIRST UNICORN
The most recent love of my life, even though she has been floating around in my brain for as long as TALL TAILS, is EGORAVEN: Heir of the First Unicorn , my mature audiences medieval fantasy soap opera drama (that's a mouthful!)
EGORAVEN: Heir of the First Unicorn introduces Egoraven, a half-unicorn, half-human princess who lives in Edinrahn, a magically powerful valley ruled jointly between Unicorns and Elves. Neither at ease with either her Unicorn or Elven caregivers, Egoraven's quiet yet unfulfilling life is suddenly shattered when her step-mare Lilith joins the Elf Prince Rillian in overthrowing his own ruling family with the help of the vicious Dragon Lords.
Wanting to bring back true magic to the Elves through Egoraven’s mixed blood, Rillian tries to take the half-unicorn princess for himself but instead, Egoraven flees from the valley with her uncle Amadaeo by her side. Now forced to face an unknown, outside world, Egoraven and Amadaeo wander the kingdoms of Men in search of any opportunity to return to Edinrahn and restore the Valley to its former glory.
If I can be shameless for a second, I currently have a Kickstarter campaign running for issues 1-3!

Welcome to Hive! I’m always ecstatic to see new comic creators turning up! I know @merej99 is a veteran and will be a great guide, but if you have any questions or need a hand don’t hesitate to ask.
I know that I have crossed paths with you at some point as your post triggered my memory and I had to head to the comic boxes to confirm! I’ll admit I don’t recall exactly where/when but I’d wager a Wizard World Philly or Baltimore Comicon in the early 2000’s.
Wow! Classic cover! I don't even have copies of those in my collection. Thank you so much for your welcome here.
Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll get attention you deserve! 😎

HI, Daphne 🙂 Thank you this post. Your work is very cool and professional! 👍 You've got your style, which perfectly goes together with your stories and heroes.
I'm a comicshead from Poland, focusing mainly on "serious" stuff - graphic novels and author's comics, but I dig some ambitious mainstream stuff, (think Umbrella Academy) I am drawing comics myself as a side hobby 😇
I'm new to PeakD/Hive community and I've noticed, that comics-related content is definitely underrepresented in this cool place. So it's a bit of a "pioneereing" situation. You see how fast your post is garhering interest. That's it! Excellent visuals are allways appreciated. Plus - it's paying off!
I'm going to blog about the visual sphere, including my beloved comics. So I'm goin' to reblog your post, and will also reblog lately discovered comics-related posts. If you have time, maybe you will be interested in creating NFTs, which is another form of curating/supporting artists and delivering the money-worth collectibles. I invite you to follow me and I'm definitely going to observe your output here.
Wish you all the best, Daphne. You rock!
Hello! Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to being a part of and helping build the comics community here.
