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

Thank you Desucon!

Thank you all who came to visit my booth in Desucon! we had a wonderful weekend, I hope you did too!

Caterpillar Boy of Book-loving

When I was still young, (and so was the Internet), there were a lot of insanely cute and slightly disturbing caterpillar boys in the dark corners of the web that I hung out in. I loved them. I still do, but haven’t seen any in a long, long time.  Maybe there is still a caterpillar boy nook out there somewhere, that I just don’t know about…   /sigh

Anyway, this book loving little fella is also going to be a bookmark, that I will be selling in Desucon Frostbite in Lahti, Finland, this weekend! So, if you’re around, do come say hi, I have tons of other stuff too. I’ll be there on both Saturday and Sunday, as I am not on the Artists’ Alley, but in the Trade Hall (which are both conveniently in the same hall, actually).
 And for all of you internationals, who can't be in Lahti, I also slapped him to my Redbubble Shoppe!

This baby is also a part of the Heavenly Bodies series I’m currently working on, check out the Heavenly Bodies tag for more!

And a bonus Homer, because he is the sweetest and cutest cat ever. Such a cuddly boy :'3

Wip sneakypeek

Here’s a proper wip pic of the cutie I’m currently working on. I’m pretty happy with those sparkly, innocent eyes~
if nothing goes awry, you’ll see him in glorious colour at Desucon Frostbite!

Thank you Höyrymarkkinat!

It was rather dark in Steam Hellsinki so my picture is a bit blurry... But nevertheless, thank you all who came to visit me and the other sellers last Saturday! Hope to see you again next year ^^

Shura finished & announcements

Shura. From the front, and kindly he gives you a glimpse of his backside too. This and the centipede will become bookmarks, hopefully in time for Sarjisfestarit next weekend! Me and Rikkisu​ will be sharing a table at Zinefest in Tiivistämö (not Oranssi, as there are two spots!)

Shura is a total babe who came to me in a dream, one of the best I've ever had. I’ve done a piece on it too, it is buried somewhere deep within my blog. Originally he was a male witch elf from Warhammer (my own AU of course, since in canon there are no such things, which is stupid), nowadays he is so much more!

I have more of these bookmarks planned, too, I call this series of floaty boys The Celestial Bodies (cue absolutely no laughter).

 As for the rest of this Autumn, I will sadly have very little time to draw as I am attempting a swift garduation from the University . Thesis will take a lot of time to get done, I fear... But before that I will attend one more event the Pagan Autumn Fair in September of which I'll tell more closer to the event!

Worldcon is just about here!

Worldcon begins in a few days! Me & my pal Pihlajatar will be sharing table numbered M2 and marked on the map in the Creators' Alley on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! The sellers change a bit everyday, so there's plenty to see on the alley every day!

 The opening hours of the hall are:

Friday 10 - 18

Saturday 10 - 18

Sunday 10 - 15

 And remember! You don't need a membership to visit the Trader Hall & Creators' Alley! Everyone can come! For the time being this will be my last confirmed event that I will be in, so if you want to see my stuff live, now's the last chance (for now)

...And then there is new art :'D

This started out as a joke in my sketchbook, but then I wanted to make an actually bookmark about it. I mean, everyone needs a little cheering up&on from time to time, I know I do. This little guy does it for you sevenfold.

I have a whole bunch these planned, but it might take a while for them to get done, seems like my traditional post-comic depression has finally caught up with me, and I get absolutely nothing done. This one took me weeks D’: So please don't expect too much of me in the next few weeks, I need gather my pieces from the floor and try to assemble them into a human being again.

Höyrymarkkinat

First prints of my magnificent Ninavel, and some new bookmarks for the Steam Hellsinki Christmas fair today! Both are an extremely limited run this time, so if you see something you like, come and grab it~~

Ropecon begins today!

 As this is my first time as a "regular seller" in a big convention I decided to step up my game and got an iZettle! We've tested it and it works just fine and dandy! Let's hope it keeps on doing that for the whole weekend.

 So, come and find me in the Myyntisali of Ropecon in Halli 5 today from 15 to 21 tomorrow from 10-18 and on Sunday 10-15! More information of the seller's area ~here~. Ropecon has a ton of cool stuff this year too, so everyone should definitely come! We're going to play some really bad Dungeons and Dragons during the nigh on Saturday so I might be a tad wane on Sunday.

I unfortunately didn't have the time to finish a friend for Laughter, but the pal will be done for the next con, I'm sure! But in the meantime, here's a few closeups of Laughter themself~

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.

About Tracon

I won't be able to attend Tracon myself due not being in the same continent when it is (I'm a bit bummed, since Tracon has always been loads of fun times... But hey, can't really complain :'D)

 Any way, my darling friends Pihlajatar and Dorian will be attending the artists' alley there and I got permission from the arrangers that I can take preorders from people! They can be collected from Pihlajatar & Dorian's table (number 16) at the con ^^
 So to make clear, nothing of mine will on the table! If you wish to purchase something you need to order it from me beforehand and then come and collect your darlings from their table.

 But yes, what do I have available?

Big prints (ca.A3)

 They cost 8 euros each, packed in cello and sturdy cardboard to keep them safe :3 (you can find bigger pictures of these darlings in the new art section of this blog, for example)

 Small prints ( ca. A4) 

 And these cost 4 euros each, packed into a big envelope also with some cardboard to keep them straight & safe! For bigger pictures, most of these can be found in the old art section of this blog, except for Skincloak (lower right corner), it is in the New Art section. Also Half a Darling, who sits at the top is slightly bigger than an A4 so he comes wrapped in cello and a cardboard packing, won't fit into an C4-envelope...

New small print

 A friend of mine requested this panel from my upcoming (sometime in the brilliant, shining future) graphic novel as a print. Printing only one would cost too much so I decided to make a limited edition of ten hand signed and numbered series of prints of this picture! The cost is 5 euros and the size is exactly A4 with enough white edge to allow for easy framing, for example :3 This one comes with a sturdy cardboard packing and an envelope to keep it safe

Eroguro Stickers~

 Stickers are 1 euro each size is ca. 4,8 x 9,6 cm.

Bookmarks

2 euros a piece, they are a bit different in size: Nargwhanal on the left side is ca. 15,5 x 5,5 cm and Hairdressings is 13,5 x 5 cm. Both are laminated and printed on both sides, with a backround of my own suminagashi works~

 I would like to have all inquiries & orders to my email, haltijakapala [å] gmail . com, so I don't get confused and forget someone :'3 The preorder time ends 1.9.2014 since I need to be on a plane after that and I doubt I will be able to read my emails. Also my kind friends need time to prepare their own stuff for the Alley, and I do recommend you go and check their table out too, they are some gifted artists!

Stuff for Finncon

I thought I might give a recap of the older stuff that I still have left, now that I am reborn and all~

Bookmarks~ Still a few left 

Big prints:

...And a few small prints too~

 And the new print, it is almost done! I'll post a picture of it as soon as I've made a few test prints etc. and I'm happy with the results~ 

Ps. Me, Pihlajatar and Teriame got a table at Tracon's Artist's Alley! See you there~
