For far too long it has seemed like Dark Elf Designs has been idle. We have in fact made little in the way of forward motion in the last year, however instead we have been moving in more lateral directions building foundations and getting ready for the next incarnation of the company that has brought you such awesome comic, art, design, and content for over ten years. Next year Dark Elf Designs celebrates the anniversary of its flagship title <i>MoonShadow </i>we hope to bring you even more great books soon. we have plenty of books scripted and people under contract for said books. We have lots of new content and expansions on old content. Our company's mission statement will be set about in a newer, more firm, time-tested business model. Or contractees will have a better understanding of what their responsibilities to Dark Elf Designs are as well as DED's responsibilities to them.<br /><br />This bold new direction for the company is not so much a change from the original ideas of the company but hopefully it will prove to be a better more fruitful, way of bringing those ideas to realization. So stay vigilant my fellow comic fans and lovers of all things geek. Keep an eye on things to come and "like" / follow us on facebook and so on. We are at the dawn of a new era for comics and we are on the precipice of new technologies and networks that will help affirm our position as one of the indy mainstays in the comics world.<br /><br />Thank you for your loyalty, faith, and good will. All of us here at Dark Elf Designs hope you enjoy the holiday season, and have a great new year!Dark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-5927388839262269172011-08-24T23:27:00.008-05:002011-08-25T14:43:19.983-05:00Dark Elf Designs Titles<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8mf7Gf1LuGzelINaOHYx9GB1ILMHm-uow6pylyl5rLOrB2iW5r_ztf7smceQVSlwxPYwxSUmaDqAZKcJaS2uXsb7cGbtQv_l-R418ADfqGl0TPjasvABh7GQK1ABJOgxG3EqtVw/s1600/BWC01CoverASM.jpg"><img style="float: left;

By the end of the week he is 512 feet tall and can help but reeking havoc everywhere in his new bunny form, crushing buildings, vehicles and people alike with every hop. Peter's path of destruction is halted momentarily when the government figures out a way to get him the largest carrot in the world and fill it with a powerful sleep agent. They then track down the Magician to find an antidote. The first issue to be called "Attack of the Giant: Peter" will be followed in May by another story featuring another gigantic mishap with an retired pro basketball player titled "Attack of the Giant: Johnson". Later titles with a similar theme will include "Attack of the Giant: Willy", "Attack of the Giant: Percy", and "Attack of the Giant: John Thomas". Dark Elf Designs hopes this will get a rise in production as well as it's fan base.Dark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-34817111149149317892010-03-25T23:37:00.001-05:002010-03-25T23:37:20.885-05:00This is a test…<span xmlns=''><p>This is a test of the emergency Blog-cast system… Had this been an actual blog emergency the blog you just read would have been followed by news or other information this is only a test.</p></span>Dark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-17915585091467624732009-11-27T15:10:00.003-05:002009-11-27T15:37:37.517-05:00Reminiscing...Since the 80's Brian Germain (Hey that's me!) has been bringing professional quality art to the masses. In the year 1999 however the culmination of that art developed into what would be the start of a company whose basic idea was that for every company out there NOT accepting artists and writers who have never been published before, there were at least a dozen artists and writers who had never been published before. The idea for a company like "Image" was in Brian's mind five years before that particular company's inception. Now with concept for a company that involved scouting and publishing unknown creative talent. Dark Elf Designs was born. The road is sometimes long and oft wrought with peril but through it all we have managed to stay afloat <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> experience growth, in even the toughest of economic times. And we will weather this storm as well. We have watched major companies like CROSSGEN and CHAOS fold up and close their doors. While creators from those companies have thrived thus proving it's not the company that's the most important thing, it's the creators involved. Dark Elf Designs would like to wish a warm holiday greeting to everyone that has supported over the years and ask for your continued support through the years. We couldn't have done many of the great thigns we've accomplished without the creators and fans of Dark Elf Designs. Stay tuned to upcoming projects and Join our forum for more information.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Happy Holidays</span></span> from everyone at <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Dark Elf Designs</span> to all of youDark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-43250117650423394902009-06-26T16:04:00.003-05:002009-06-26T16:19:21.351-05:00Tangled Webs and the Death of a Superstar.Michael Jackson Died yesterday and the world has lost a superstar. He wasn't always popular and he didn't always shine as brightly as most people remember him for. After the slew of allegation that pretty much ruined his career I almost see his heart attack as peace of mind from a world who loved him and ridiculed him. This world our earth is great because at times we not only learn to deal with the differences of others, but instead in fact celebrate them. When people get famous there are always clingers on and new found "friends" that wish to take advantage and exploit those differences. It is sad that in the day and age we live in that because someone is eccentric and different they become the target of ridicule, ostracism, and even violence. I know there was a time in recent history when Michael's entire race was shunned. It seems a sad statement on the face of history that in the year following the election of the first African American President of the United States, That it's first African American King of Pop, Rock and Soul has died of a broken heart. Let us look at the career of this legend and note that history should never repeat itself like this. O.J. Was acquitted and no one is hounding him, but Michael Jackson was acquitted twice and there were those that pursued him all the way to his death.<br />Every time an artist dies a little piece of me seems to feel like it goes with them. Michael Jackson was indeed among the many, but sadly compared with the rest of the world we artists are among the few. Let us hope this day society will stop pointing blame and fingers so much at everyone else because of their differences and point some back at themselves for the shame they caused to a falling star. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />-Brian Germain<br />Chief Executive Director<br />Dark Elf Designs LLC<br />www.darkelfdesigns.comDark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-81682434945559640072009-06-01T22:49:00.002-05:002009-06-01T23:18:04.244-05:00COMIC SIGNING JUNE 13th FENTON, MI<span style="font-weight: bold;">Where?</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">BC Comix and Games</span>, 17125 Silver Parkway Fenton, MI 48430<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">When?</span> June 13th , 11am-7pm<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What?</span> We're Signing all manner of Dark Elf Comic books and doing sketches as well as commissioned art, and interacting with the public Questions are welcome Bring your portfolios for critiques and compliments.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who?</span> Dark Elf Designs Artists Larry Lonsby-(Tales of Tezlon), Gemma Keech (The Clay Shaper), Roberto Armstrong, and Darryl Anderson (Bushi Warrior Caste), and Brian Germain (MoonShadow), Randy Zimmerman (Spank The MONKEY), Brock Mizikow (Phantom of the Empire)<br /><br />Lot's to see, do and learn!<br /><br />BE THERE!!!!Dark Elf Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12540501741138565597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540775.post-56281035061618997292009-03-03T18:44:00.002-05:002009-03-03T18:48:28.773-05:00Blogger Hiccups.I am not sure why all the RSS Feeds aren't working Just when you think you have them taken care of something happens and BAM!
