Naughty comic teaser

Well, I'd say this new paper passed the test, and this just might be the first panel of my future story! Please, don't get too excited just yet, though. I want to draw at least six pages of the story before I upload it online, so all of you lovelies will have a bit more to see on the first go ^^
 I will endeavour to present these pages to all of you as soon as possible, and will most certainly post more naughty teasers while I work on them~
 There's still today and tomorrow left of my sale over in Tictail and as always Redbubble is open, if you wish to support my comic making efforts!

Exciting new developments~

So, I’m actually doing a test run on some new paper for that comic, yes the one I keep talking about, and wanted to share a wip of my inking. So far so good 🖤

Early Sunday inktoberings

Mitral is so sick of waiting for me to get my shit together and start the damn comic that they might just die. I'm sorry Mitral, you deserve better you edgelord you 🖤❤🖤❤
This time I only gave myself an hour to get everything done. I'm so rusty ;^;

First inktoberings

I tried to gently slip into inktober with my favorite trees & moss. Life is finally giving me a tiny break so I can draw a little. I gave myself a strict two hour time limit with this one, and it came out pretty well :> All thanks to Homer's help, of course.
More moodsetting for my next project will be the theme for this year. Mitral will hopefully show up too

Mitral, my Heavenly Body of Blood Magic

Mitral,  my oldest, reddest darling, doing what Mitral often does which is blood magic.

I loved doing that hair, but it took way longer than I imagined. Can you tell red is my favorite colour? Or, maybe it is just blood that is my favorite colour. Ahhh <3
 The last one is a joke version, but I did want to make Mitral have red eyes, but I think the green ones stand out better. Both are equally canon anyway. Which one do you like better? :D
This one is also a part of the Heavenly Bodies series, but I’ll keep the buttside hidden this time, because I can.

Nargwhanal, my Heavenly Body of the Hollow Shadows.

 Nargwhanal is an old character of mine from That Comic, but normally there’s actual skin and bones on this shindran darling~
If all goes well you’ll be able to see for yourself this autumn, but before that there will be bookmarks for Tampere kuplii! See you there :D

Flashback March vol. 3

(I decided to keep at it even though I’ve also been naughty and drawn new stuff)Another old watercolour painting of Mitral I. This time it is about blood magic ( ◉◞౪◟◉) Mitral has some skill in it, which we will see when the comic actually starts~~

I still like the smoke, but hair, I’ve gotten better at least at painting hair. I think…

Flashback March volume 1

I decided to make March a flashback month to protect my sanity in the throes of my thesis (= not really having time for art, which will lead to a neglect of social media accounts which leads to stressssss). So I will share some old stuff of mine and maybe talk about them pieces a little too. It will also get me in a nice comic mood.

 Here’s a piece I painted for my very first solo exhibition, it is the last piece I painted and the only one I still find tolerable. The exhibition was an account of different families of elder elvenkind inhabiting a forested realm beyond the tallest mountains you’ll ever see, in the world of my comic. While the realm itself plays a very small part in the first arcs of the entire story, this particular critter in the middle might actually have a role in the early comic ;D

Å-Fest and some really old art

Visited home last weekend, and there I have all of my old, old art school paintings and such stored. There I painted a lot of things but my favorite is a narrative pentatych 140cm high and 160 cm wide when opened. It is hands on the biggest piece I’ve ever done! This is a detail of the biggest, central piece.
I made it in the vein of medieval altarpieces, with doors and all. It tells the tale of my main char for life Mitral 💖

ALSO! I'll be in Å-Fest this weekend! It is a small comic festival in Porvoo! So, if you happen to be around there, do come say hi ^^

Some sketches

 I've been role-playing and doodling quite a lot during this summer! Here are some of the silly doodles I sketch while we've been playing~

 Upper left corner has my new Eldar Corsair character from a Rogue Trader campaign, Shiranui Chitaira. Beneath him is me brand new jackdaw bard-boy Kurama and his best pals Dr. Mlemmiwinks a doge cleric and Uss aka Lord Hissington, a yuan-ti fighter. The whole campaign is just a clusterfuck of tomfoolery and idiocy, and I love it to bits!

 Upper right corner has Marune from my comic, I'm trying redesign their face, for they have a set of horns on their head and I can't get them to work like I want to. Still, I think this is a pretty nice picture of them. And below is my hissymissy-Severan being the angry young man he is. 

 I've got some new prints coming up for Ropecon & Worldcon, stay tuned for them~~ In the meanwhile, you can always visit my Tictail or Redbubble to acquire some art!

The Red Shroud

The Red Shroud, 2017

I love making these, it is so relaxing and stimulating at the same time. And moreover helps me to process the more esoteric and abstract levels of my ye olde comic, one that will hopefully one day be reborn…



Slapped it into my Rebubble too.

The Fall of Aenaitha

I feel so empty after finishing this that I can’t think of anything to say about this one. I guess I also don’t want to try and explain this one too much, either. So, just here it is, and it has a lot to do with the world of my ye olde comic, but I don’t want to tell it all since it might be a bit of a spoiler. A lot of flesh eating went on in the olden times there, as Danil too had a bite or three.

And a few close ups, since the piece is so big~

Painting dragons

Even if I am very busy currently, I’ve still had the time to work on a commission every now and then, progress is excruciatingly slow, but I wanted to share a little bit of it with you!
 I was tasked just to do a dragon, in my own style, which of course led to a creative crisis. After much struggling a passable redesign of my oldest draconian character Lightless Flame, Lord of all things Black and Metal. They too are a character in than ancient comic of mine, that I always talk about.
 It has been a great learning process to work on this piece!

 Not much else to report, preparing for the exhibition mostly. I'm nervous and excited!

Art Summary 2016

 I decided to finally make a summary of my own too, since it has been a productive year for me. Though, far from the level of productivity I would like to reach. A proper piece for each month would be so nice, here we still have a lot of silly little doodles for many months. Well, let’s see how it goes next year!

 Thank you all who have been a part of my life this past year, and I sincerely hope next year will be better for all of us!

Laughter & Feathers

Laughter; pencil, felt-tip pen, ink, watercolour & Painttool SAI, 2016

 It all started very innocently with me thinking that maybe I should make a few new bookmarks for Ropecon; and ended up with some next level hairporn & feathers of Laughter, a character from that old comic of mine, and who is properly introduced here. I like Laughter lots and lots, they are all shenaningans and games, toying with the rigid rulers of Shindran realms, causing havoc and mayhem here and there (but only to the olden rules, not violence).
I loved inking the feathers, and would like to make a friend for this darling, but let us see if I manage it before Ropecon. But think of peacocks, next.

Schoolwork

I'm doing a presentation on Amano Yoshitaka for Japanese class, but researching his art just makes me want to draw so bad... And draw I did. (I just hope my doodles would suffice as the presentation...)

So, have a very sketchy ode to Amano in the form of Shiranui of draconian descent (not all that distantly related to Varaith)  seducing an ancestor of Nargwhanal, Thiervain, in the somewhat ancient past of my world.

It ended badly, it always does.

Some Original Characters

 This time separately and properly scanned for better quality~ I chose the ones that I liked best, please enjoy!

The now extinct Danil, done in watercolour

The undead Sirithyvin, done in ink

My darling Mitral dressed in something preposterous, done with copics

And Varaith the Magnificent descendant of dragons, done in ink

Last batch of October original characters

 This time mostly rpg characters; my assassin Severan from Dark Heresy 2 (also known as Not-Kanda) in the upper left corner; Minnow from Changeling the Lost is in the upper right one and below her my utterly stupid and just as cute elven sorcerer Liehu from DnD 3rd Edition game of epic level derpiness. I think it will suffice to say that our party has three rogues and not one frontline fighter and I've never had a s much fun playing DnD in my life
 The baby in the middle is a mixed blood descendant of dragon & shindrans and all magnificence from my comic and the last one is little Illathain a special someone wanted to create into my comic's world, and so we did.

 And so this ends, whew, I never imagined I'd be able to doodle so many sketches! And now I need to return to my normal drudgery, art books don't draw themselves...

3rd week of characters

3rd week of original characters. This batch contains many of my absolute favorite darlings of all time. Many of them are main characters of the ye olde comic. Starting from the top left corner is Adal Bodgen a human lady and one of the main characters in my comic. To her right is the one I probably love most, easily my oldest character still around Mitral lounging around in very strange get up indeed. Below Mitral is Sirithyvin Aunirothu an undead creature living in the shadow's of Adal's home country. The his left is the yellow eyed Faurgwaith, and like the aforementioned trio a very important character in the comic.
 And last is the odd one out Ghuelan Nargwhanal's sworn retainer, bodyguard and swordsmanship teacher.

Original characters vol. 2

 Now to continue my somewhat heroic attempts at drawing my own characters. Again from the upper left corner onwards:
 First we have Duin a sort of a religious leader and a mediator with the pact with Living Darkness the royal family of Bithondans have, and speaking of them the duo beside Duin are Nargwhanal's siblings Dealenne and Raerinas. Below the shindras is Danil a creature from the very ancient past of my world, and you can read a bit more about them here.
