faq about Nelshael the webcomic
–[ what is Nelshael de immemori insula ? ]–
Nelsheal is a fantasy story and an original comic, a project born in 1995 from the artistic group Dardanidi.
Started as a work to participate to the Tokimeki competition we decided to be inspired by a dream to write a fantasy story and a comic strip.
Our virtual senseis have always been mainly japanese because mangas published in Italy in that period were our source of graphical inspiration and at the same time teachers of anatomy! Some of these are: Clamp, Katsura, Hagiwara, Takada, Nobuteru Yuki, Miyazaki. Among the Italians: Eva Villa, Vinci and Toffolo; and, among the world famous, O’ Barr (the crow), Hewlett (tankgirl), W.Pini (elfquest) and Moebius.
Our fantasy inspiration came from several rather popular literary sources like Tolkien, Zimmer Bradley, Dragonlance.
The website www.nelshael.it was born in 2002 in the attempt of publishing our works but we decided to completely remake it in order to renew it.

All people began to speak the same expressive language, to publish each others (indifferently in albums that are red from left to right, as we do, or from right on the left like in Japan), to travel and to live in one or the other side of the world, to converse without borders, putting comic strip, literature, music and cinema in touch with each others [… ] “

–[ what software do you use to make your CG’s? ]–
I use Deleter Comicworks for the lineart and the comic because it has about 300 screentones!! For the illustrations I use Corel Painter, Opencanvas and Photoshop.

Yes, if your website is a good webcomic!
if there’s one thing I can’t handle it’s when I go to the link section of a website and there are too much banners. I try to limit the links to the websites that I feel are the most inspiring and important to me. however, if you want me to check out your site, feel free to notify me about it, no problem!
