A Heart of Stone

 

A little drawing I did inspired by our game of #forbiddenlands where elves have a gem at their core, making them basically immortal as they can regenerate their fleshy parts as long as the gem stays intact :D

Unblurred version in my BLsky!

Page 135 is now in Tapas UwU Maive's bad night continues to be bad, but then, there might be a chance out of this mess? Maybe? Hopefully?

Comic Fury updates make it to page 100

 Another 10 pages of Avarnight has landed in comic Fury in the past two weeks! We made it to the triple digits!

 This week I wanted to show a comparison between the 2011 version above the current 2024 version of the scene. i'm surprised at how much I like the old version still, the land of Avardark is quite different there...

Page 134

 Page 134 has our crew partaking in supper, yet Maive does not seem to be enjoying her evening stew... BUT I'm happy I was rather nicely on schedule with this page, and I'll begin the next one right away so there won't be any summer hicups hopefully!

Read the page here! 

Speaking of summer, I'll have a table at Finncon in Turku for the whole weekend and also a table at Ropecon on Sunday! AND the biggest news is we also got a Friday slot at the tent at the yard of Tracon! So you can find us there too! I'm so happy we got in with Rikkisu and Alxeandros! Yay! 

More info on those later, nothing's planned for June so I'll have plenty of time to draw, at least I hope... . . . .

Comic Fury update~

 

Comic Fury updates keep rolling in! Welcome to Chapter 4 where we plunge right back into the Realm of Avardark

Wood Elf Esteem

 

Wood Elf Esteem is finally ready! I'm sorry for the wait! 💦 I'm really embarrassed this took so long, especially since, in the end, wood elves are my fav kind of elf, too!!! Best for the last etc.

I'll make stickers and stuff for both Ropecon and Finncon, as I seem to have gotten a table at both!

Unblurred version can be found in my Cara and Blsky!

Page 131

 

And so! We are back in Hojuk and back in the daily life of Adal, Maive and Derel. Everyone with their own epic quests to fulfil! The first one is: dinner. . ...and some secret quests we'll get into in a bit!

Read it in Tapas!

And the popularity poll is also open until the end of the month!

...and lastly, just a little bit of whining: this page was a struggle. Just as I started this page I found out the pencil lead that I've been using to draw for like 20 years has been discontinued (I hadn't been able to buy it for 6 months at least, but I got confirmation finally on the matter). It's so disheartening. 

I tried another for this one, even though I've got a little bit of the good one left, and it was an absolute nightmare to try and draw with this brand of lead at least. I ordered some other online and hope one of them is at least adequate. :'''( Wish me luck!

 It's such a strange feeling, losing something that's just been a quiet pillar of your creation for decades and suddenly it's just gone...

Kauhucon & Comic Fury pages!

 

Kauhucon this weekend! At the Rikhardinkatu Library, Helsinki! Free entry! Open today 10-16 and tomorrow 12-18!

https://kauhucon.fi/ohjelma/

AND Looks like I messed up my biweekly schedule of announcing new pages of Avarnight in Comic Fury last week, so today I will humbly present you with pages 51-65! So if you've been following these updates, this is where you're at!

Sorry about that, the end of March was pretty hectic.

And also, if you've not already aware, I have a character popularity poll ongoing where you can vote and also maybe win a little prize UwU

Page 130~

 

Page 130 of Paths of Avarnight is done! Read it in Tapas

As I was colouring this page I realised these two panels... They're just me whenever I come home from anywhere xD I mean we all put ourselves in our characters, but the older I get the more I feel Nargwhanal in my bones. Which is kind of sad, since they are just at the cusp of adulthood, a time when you're supposed to be full of vigour... I'm sorry Narya, I love you lots, that's why you suffer.

Anyway, after you've read the page, please also vote in the popularity poll if you haven't already UwU

Popularity Poll 2026!

 

My traditional Character polularity poll is open for this year UwU As before, anyone who votes can also participate in a little raffle to win either some merch or a little sketch commission from me! So please give your vote to your favourite character This year too!

Vote here!

I'll also be at the Zine March area tomorrow selling Paths of Avarnights and Pillars of Heavens and all the other nice stuff I've got, hope to see you there! The March is at the Tampere University, no entry fee! Our table is table nro 10!

Elfbruary 2026 ends... ;;-;;

 

I spent the last days of Elfbruary sick with a cold :'< So, this was as far as I got with my last sketch, which was going to be of my Eldar Corsair Shiranui from a long running Rogue Trader campaign...

Well next year! Thank you everyone who drew elves and hope to see you next year UwU

Looking back on page 128

 

Narya reminisces on things that to them happened just a little while ago, but to us readers are already ancient history... Does anyone still remember this pivotal little scene in the first book? : ' D

Refresh your memory in Tapas!

The whole of Chapter 1 is now on Comic Fury!

 

The 1st Chapter of Paths of Avarnight draws to a close in today's update!

Or read the whole chapter from the beginning!

Romantic Valentine Elfbruary posting

 

With a fateful perfection for Valentine's day I rolled up my most romantic of elven lovers I have probably ever dreamt up (and these two did indeed come to me in a dream) for today's Elfbruary picture! 

You see, nasty GW and especially the company who made Warhammer Online never gave me metal bikini elf boys, so I had to come up with them myself! >:I The dreamt went about like so: a bridegroom of Khaine could never be together with a sorcerer, unless they burnt the whole world and all the meddlesome gods of both elves and chaos to ashes, and they did, hehe

Here's a few pictures of them together and separately from over the years, and hopefully next Elfbruary I'll have time to draw them together again UwU

Lusiphur, my beloved...

My elfbruary continues with my first fan art of the month!

Here's Lusiphur from Poison elves, one of the comics that was really formative for me as a lonely elf-fanatic in the 90s. It's so edgy, so 90s and so hetero that I probably cannot heartily recommend it to everyone anymore, but for me it was a real inspiration when growing up. And I still love it!!!

 Funny how I've never before this sketch drawn fan art of Lusiphur! This also became a style study as I never draw hair as one black mass, and I wanted to try it out for once to see how it feels... It was quick to do, I can give it that!

Also, love love love those incredibly long elf hears Drew Hayes did. Mad respect.

Here's also my prompt list finally for anyone who might want to guess what I rolled for next :D

 

Page 127

 

Another page of Paths of Avarnight full of elves, perfectly suiting Elfbruary! This peaceful scene of Maru and Narya finally having a chat in private continues, but how long can such bliss last?

Read here! Only in Tapas for now.

I'm so happy with that shrub I chose it as my preview image.

Sadh Kijraen collage for Elfbruary

 

I'm busy with trying to get the next page of Paths of Avarnight done, so no new sketch to day for £elfbruary, but a little showcase of one of the elves in that comic!

Sadh Kijraen has been in the story from its early iterations, here are version of them from 2011, 2016, 2023 and 2025! Their name has changed, and the side the eyepatch on too, because I'm an idiot and can't remember stuff like this :''''D 

Kijraen always gets the shortest end of the stick in all scenes, because I'm always forced to shorten everything to make the story progress... So they end up being just this constantly angry barker of orders to Maru & Narya. I wish I could treat you better Kij, you deserve it...

Pages 11-20 now in Comic Fury

 

Another 10 pages of Paths of Avarnight are now available in Comic Fury! And fittingly for #elfbruary they are mostly about my Shindran youth Nargwhanal aka Narya. 

Read here!

I'll also keep posting the pages 5 pages a week, but probalby keep announcing only every second week so I don't spam too much.

Eledras the Wanderer

 

Second #elfbruary sketch done!

This is Gim's partner in crime Eledras the wanderer on my solo-DCC campaign in Arden Vul. A much more warlike wood elf who would love to be the strong silent type himself, but instead gets critical pants malfunctions at the worst possible times like fighting frog demons. Poor guy. He has an albino falcon familiar called Griffith, hehe.

I also love that I rolled all their colouring randomly and got a really pale elf and a really dark elf, with a white falcon, too! Let's see what kind of a combo I end up with when i'll need to roll up a third elf for the campaign!

I really like these new paints I've got, and hopefully I an keep practising with them in the next one! Shared also here is the prompt list I made for myself for fun.

Elfbruary begins~

Happy #Elfbruary2026 !

I'm going to spend my Elfbruary trying out some new paints I bought and rolling on a random list of elves I made to see who I will try them on! 

First up is gimladen the Grey a wood elf in service of Yggddrrlll in my own solo DCC campaign of purging Arden Vul. He lost his eye while being torn to shreds by a pack of albino baboons one fateful night, and all those scars. He basically died, but was turned over successfully so I didn't lose him ;;w;;

 Gim is the strong silent type and his magic is immensely potent. He has saved his good friend Eledras quite a few times with it!

Speaking of which, I was also a bit too optimistic and put a lot of couples/doubles on the list and I already realised I'm way too slow to to do two characters in one day... You'll meet Eledras in the next sketch.

I'll keep my Elfbruary to one sketch per day at maximum, and probably no sketches on a lot of days thanks to everything I've got going on >_<

New week, new page~ 

Only on Tapas for now!

Paths of Avarnight lands on Comic Fury finally...

 

Paths of Avarnight is finally also on Comic Fury! I'm uploading it 5 pages a week there until we reach the current page, so this is a perfect opportunity to read it from the beginning at a nice pace UwU

Find it here!

I've been meaning to migrate the comic there for ages, but stuff's just been stuff.. But this year, I'm finally doing it!

Month of the Knife ear fast approaches!

 Next month it is again time to celebrate all ourlovely elves with #elfbruary ! Aka. for one month, draw elves, write about elves, do crafts about elves and share it online under the tag! Fan art and original art most welcome, as are half elves UwU

There's no prompt list either, so do whatever makes you happy! Though, we could start working on one if people would like that(? please let me know!)

This is a little thing we came up at a Finnish comics server where there happen to be a lot of elf fans going about :3

First page of the year~

 

I got this page done so fast, I can hardly believe it! I guess I'm just so psyched to finally be able to draw this scene where, at long last, Narya and Maru can talk in private... Not in hasty whispers while elders are not looking, it's been so long, for them and for us!

Read it in Tapas as usual UwU

Amayo & Ryuu

 

Amayo & Ryuuichirou for rikkisu who won my popularity poll raffle to get a little sketch of a topic of their choosing. And here we have two main character from two different comics by her, Eternally Yours (finished) and Eat Me, Kiss Me (ongoing)!
