Alphabeast is debuting TOMORROW (May 5th) at TCAF
It will be at table 206. With Rosemary Travale, Jordyn Bochon, and Tim Carpenter!
Books will be $19 (tax included) and buttons/prints of selective pages will be available too.
Welcome to our sixth installment of Meet the Alphabeasts! Bonus preview this week is Mary the Mermaid!
Now hold on a second, I can hear you saying “but this isn’t a mermaid! Where is her red hair and giant double D clam shells?”. Let me just explain, no sailor would ever follow a siren song if they though some slimy green lady with sharp teeth was waiting for them. So the Mermaids commissioned Disney to put out a propaganda film to make them look great. That’s why you have sea lumberjack King Triton and his 800 perfect daughters. Also I bet you didn’t know that Mary speaks 5 different languages, writes the best fanfic you’ve ever read, and is unbeaten in her fantasy football league. So who says sexy doesn’t come in many different forms.

Welcome to our fifth installment of Meet the Alphabeasts! Bonus preview this week is Jin the Jiang Shi!
Jin is a hopping vampire. Now you may ask yourself “what is a hopping vampire?” and the answer is “a vampire that hops, you idiot”. Now this might lead to more questions like “Well why does it hop?” And the truth is that every reason to hop is different for each Jiang-Shi. In Jin’s case Jin knows that late night hops are one of the best forms of cardio workout you can have. And who doesn’t want to work up a good appetite while chasing after your meal.

Next preview will be tomorrow, L!
Giveaway ideas!
I’m going to be starting up a giveaway for alphabeast and the alphabeast tumblr soon. I have a few ideas for prizes but I was curious if anyone had any suggestions (especially since someone following this blog is most likely to be one of the winners).
Toss me a reply or tell me your idea in an ask!
Welcome to our fourth installment of Meet the Alphabeasts! Due to technical difficulties last week a beast didn’t go up, so this week to make up for it I’m posting 3! First of the 3 is Kenichi the Kappa!
Kappa are known most commonly for eating 2 things. Cucumbers, and souls via your ass. Kenichi never was one to enjoy the taste of souls as they often have a bitter after taste. But boy does Kenichi love cucumbers! Known as the green shadow to his friends he sneaks into even the tightest spaces and gobbles down all the cucumbers he can find! YUM YUM YUM.
Want to know more about Kenichi? see the full sized art of Kappa and just how much he can eat? find out more in May in Alphabeasts. http://alphabeast.tumblr.com/
Next preview will be tomorrow, Jin the Jiang-shi!
Welcome to our third installment of “Meet the Alphabeasts”! Unlike last weeks landslide victory, this week came down to a single vote. And the “I” has it! Meet Itumeleng an Inkanyamba.
Anyone who’s ever tracked mud through their parents house has probably seen a parent freak out so intensely it looked like they were summoning a storm with the veins in their face. Well if you’re one of the Eel spawn of Itumeleng then you might JUST ACTUALLY DO THAT. Inkanyamba have this annoying habit of summoning storms when angered. Be it a little rain when she locks he Eel keys in the Eel car, or full monsoon rains when little Inkanyamba Eel Earl fails to fill out his college entry exams on time and has to go to his safety school Inkanyamba U.

Second Creature preview for Alphabeast! In an overwhelming vote, you picked…F for Freidrik the Frost Giant!
Freidrik is a simple Giant, he likes his meat cold, his hands bloody, and expressing the frost giant form with post modern sculpture snowmen. Think Conan the Barbarian if he was 25 feet tall and loved sculpting.
