Frolic of the Ancients

 

Made some abstract art for a change a while back and sort of forgot about it and remembered to post it today...

This is available in my Redbubble shop like all the abstract collages I've done before. 

Please have a peek if you're interested!

I'm also currently working on the 61st page, and I hope it'll be pretty soon!

The Awaiting

Sometimes I've got to paint instead of write the thesis. I really like this one. It is also in my Redbubble, like everything else :D

Redbubble Reminder

This is but a coy reminder of a Redbubble shop of a starving student/artist :’D

 I tend to upload all my finished work there, so if you like what I do, have a peek! Currently it is also the only place where you can get my prints internationally, since I had to close down my Tictail shop…

You can find the place right here:

Haltija’s Shoppe

 

…And also I had to share these nightmare inducing Cheery Centipede Boy sheets, for all your lizard disco nights :’D I still giggle every time I see them

Heavenly Spheres

Sorry, me & my Inktober totally imploded so have a abstract blob instead. It has cute little faces on it.
I put it in my Redbubble, too.

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.

What lies Beyond

What lies Beyond, 2017

The day after night of witches, and a very nice yellow moon, is a good day to dally with ink.

The Day After

As my comic work is winding down, I need to start worrying about graduating from University. I’m supposed to be doing research for my seminar work, but instead. Instead I started writing a short story about a meat eating nightcrawly elf having a serious case of blood orgy hangover. Whats-more I did a fucking painting of him, too :’D My thesis is so fucked.

 This is known as the Hangover of Severan, or in Finnish “Severanin darrapäivä”

ps. it is also in my Redbubble

pps. Some of you might've noticed that he shares a name with my former rpg-character. He is a spiritual descendant of my assassin-acolyte, but reimagined in the setting of the City of Cities, where meat eating elves roam, among other things 

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!

Gaze of the Wood

Gaze long into the wood, the wood will also gaze into you.



Also available in my shop

Shadows Descend

Leaves Fell Like Drops of Blood & Arrival of The Shadow 2016, Mixed Media

Just when I declare that I wouldn’t be able to post any new stuff for nigh rest of the year, I get an unbearable urge…
 This is a part of a story from the end of time, when everything is falling into nothingness.

I also uploaded these to my Redbubble

Web of Heaven

Darkness between the stars – therein lie voids immeasurable. Ceaseless. An insurmountable boundary, within which, beyond which, fans out the Web of Heaven. Guardian? Ward? Or just a stray in the emptiness beyond all paths?

 Find more Lore here~  (and also on my Redbubble & Society6)

Visions of Endless Pasts

In the wandering of lifeless dust, within a hidden world of red, Blood God dreamt, of things forever lost, stolen futures and annihilated ends. Will anything remain before the wind?

And I also made my very first t-shirt design (as in a drawing I've only meant to be a t-shirt... and not a piece of art)!

Find it here~

Society6

Suddenly I had a bit of freetime in my hands and I finally set up my Society6 shop. And yes, I know I already have a shop in Redbubble, but these All over print shirts are just too nice to pass up:

Please find my shoppe here~

I have new paintings comicg up as soon as I have time to sit and paint! I'll keep you all lovelies posted~  

Working on new stuff

A few small sketches of characters in my next comic project~ and the colourful one is a npc from a Storium game I’m narrating. Storium is funner than fun, I can definitely recommend checking it out!But our game is private unfortunately :(

 Also as promised a better picture of the Blood God scarf, so here you go ~

PostTracon

 Sorry I was going to write a quick note about Tracon's craft tables you know BEFORE the con but was so busy with malfunctioning printers and print houses and the beginning of my lectures that it just slipped my mind. Well, I did find out that I can't really update my blog from my phone either, for I tried.
 But thank you all who came, and hope to see you again in the next event whatever that may be!

New stickers and a big (44 x 32 cm) Blood for the Blood God print! If you missed my table and would like to have something just write me a message, a poor artist-student is a poor artists-student after all~ (haltijakapala [å] gmail . com)

In other good news the new Tähtivaeltaja has a few illustrations by me! I am pretty happy about it ^^

 And a last bonus: a small picture of a Blood for the Blood God scarf I ordered for myself from my Redbubble store, it is a fine beast of a scarf if you don't mind me saying!

 From now on this blog might be a bit quiet for a while since I'm finishing my artbooklet and can't show you everything I put in it. Also a small comic is in the works, but I can't show you much of that either just yet... Thank you for your patience in advance

Lore of Blood

I’ve been doing some mighty fun things recently~ Doing abstract things is so relieving every once in a while…
