About

The Comic

This comic has been my life for the last four years, I’m really stoked to finally be able to share it. Go read it! And if you like it, please share it with your friends!

Do the end justify the means? The crew of the Crow & Lyre tavern absolutely think so. Sometimes when the system is stacked against you, you break the system. Each crew member is equipped with their own special abilities and they’ll have to work together to get the job done. Tassera leads the crew and keeps the nosy Detective Vale from getting too close. Except, they have a history and while Vale may not get close to solving the case, could he be getting too close to Tass?

Bad Influence is an on-going labor of love. I started writing back in 2019 right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and finally finalized the script in July of 2022. The characters have been kicking around in my head even longer.

The Artist

My name is Nikki by I go by Loreli/LoreliAoD/Tass on-line. You can find most of my social media under LoreliAoD or check the social menu on the right. My pronouns are she/her and I’m old enough to recall what a dial modem sounds like. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved characters and comics. I have an AA in Animation and it’s been semi-useful. This isn’t my first attempt at a comic. I had a gag a strip run of a World of Warcraft comics called Re-Roll and a short lived mess of a story we won’t talk about.

Thanks Yous

To my handful of beta readers, particularly Q and Dusk who listened to all my rambling and brainstorming.

And of course all my patrons who help me continue to do what I love.
