Nerf Now!! - Angela, Anne-Marie, and Crystal Maiden

There are many webcomics out there about gaming, but there's only one drawn by a Brazilian with a fondness for genderbending and smut.  At least, I think there is.  Could be interesting if there was another.

Nerf Now!! was originally a spoof series about Team Fortress 2, but now covers a wide variety of games.  The general focus of the series is lampooning topical video game news/releases/updates, along with whatever else the author feels like drawing at the time.  Usually this will involve one or more cute female characters and if it's a game without a female characters, one will be provided via gender bending.  Because that's what the author generally feels like drawing.

There really isn't a consistent "main character" of Nerf Now with the exception of the author avatar, but he's a man size sentient purple tentacle so he doesn't really count for this blog.  However there are a number of lovely female characters that rotate through the series, so we'll be covering a few this update. (first comic)

Angela
Angela, a.k.a. "Engie," is the female version of the Engineer from Team Fortress 2.  She knows her way around a wrench and can use it as both a construction tool and combat weapon in equal favor.  After awhile she becomes one of the first host/main characters of the series along with the author insert character, Jo the Tentacle.  And yes, a girl and a tentacle can live under the same house without "that" happening.  Probably anyway...



Wait 'till you see her reaction to the ending.

"Draw me like one of your webcomic girls."

Engie along with Alek, the female version of the Heavy from TF2.

Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie is the female version of the Spy from TF2 and later becomes one of the main characters along with Alek (the female Heavy), Morgan (the female Demoman), and Jane (the female Soldier.)  Anne-Marie is what one might call an "attention whore" and has no problems tweaking her persona or indulging in shameless fanservice in order to gain subscribers.


Crystal Maiden
Crystal Maiden is a character from the video game series DOTA 2 who makes a few appearances in Nerf Now!!  In the comic she's portrayed as outgoing and maternal (due to her role as a "support" class in DOTA 2) and she gets a couple of barefoot moments.



Too poor to even afford boots.  It's a DOTA thing apparently.

Everblue - Luna

Everblue the webcomic takes place in a world of seemingly endless ocean, where human civilization is limited to numerous floating cities that are themselves confined to a long belt of ocean that stretches from the north to south polls.  Beyond this belt is the titular Everblue, an unexplored expanse from which no explorer has ever returned.

However, when a young shipwright meets a happy go lucky drifter after his boat crashes into the docks (through no fault of his (mostly)), events are set into motion that will force the shipwright from her home and the two of them on an adventure to explore the Everblue.  However much can happen in an endless ocean and it is unknown if that which awaits them is scarier than that which already pursues them.  (first comic)

Luna
Before she met Ten, aka happy go lucky drifter, Luna was just an ordinary shipwright.  Okay that's not entirely true as she's also has a hobby of exploring the long untouched submerged sections of the city contrary to religious taboo and she's constructed a boat built around lost technology.  But other than that, not so inordinate.

One of the things that makes this series so great for foot lovers is that Luna is perpetually either wearing sandals or just plain going barefoot.  And it's not uncommon for the artist to show her going from a state of the former to the latter.











And then there was...a flashback!  As it turns out sandals and bare feet have pretty much been Luna's default choice since as long as she remembers.

Blindsprings - Tamaura

Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in the forest.  A kind and innocent girl who lived under the wardship of the fae.  She was never allowed to leave the forest and she knew nothing of what was happening in the outside world.  But that was fine, for she had her duties.  Then one day boy came into the woods.  The two became friends and he swore he'd save her from her "captors."  However, breaking a covenant to the fae holds consequences and when the boy returns years later and rescues the girl against her will everything she has worked to protect is now at risk.

To remedy the damage done, the girl made a new contract but one that will put her on a dangerous road.  Now the girl must navigate not only the machinations of the fae but also the politics of a city three hundred years after her time.

In short, Blindsprings is a fantasy drama series chalk full of political and mythical intrigue.  Started relatively recently as of this writing, it's still more than worth a read.  (first comic)

Tamaura
Tamaura is the main protagonist of Blindsprings and a very caring individual.  Having lived in the forest for the past three centuries she's more than a little discombobulated by how much has changed.  While not carefree per say, for a time she did seem content and free spirited.  Now she must deal with the burden of the fae's new covenant and trying to figure out how to navigate in a strange new world.

Trying Human - Rose

I want to believe!...That there's a really good webcomic about aliens, their attempts to blend in, and shadowy government agencies.  I have very specific tastes, okay?

Luckily there is just such webcomic, specifically Trying Human.  Our story more or less begins with a girl in New York waking up with uncontrollable nose bleeds and fragments of strange memories.  Eventually she begins to remember that she was abducted by "Greys" (think your typical spindly armed, bald headed Roswell aliens) and catches the interest of Hue, one of the few of his race who feels empathy.  Eventually Hue and his Reptillian friend (yet another alien race) decide to make use a set of portable holographic disguises, the titular trying human circuit, to "help" Rose with her life.  The results of said help are...mixed.

This however only broadly describes the main plot of Trying Human.  In effect there are at least four stories being told simultaneously with one taking place all the way back in 1947.  To say Trying Human can get rather complicated would be a gross understatement.  If you're a fan of X-files esque conspiracy mysteries and aliens in general, then I highly recomend you give this series a try. (first page)

Rose
The main protagonist of Trying Human.  A secretary by trade she initially wished that these crazy aliens would leave her alone but eventually comes to take it in stride.  As abductions virtually all happen at night when humans are asleep, Rose's tenure aboard the Grey mothership is often in her night gown.


Talk to the hand!

Hue finds this human foot to be most fascinating.

"Sure thing voice of of off kilter lady in my head."

Time to leave!

Awww!  They trust each other!...
...but still prone to accidents.  Whoops!

Eh, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Hue is stronger than he appears.
