Postcards!

My first set of postcards fresh off the printers! They’re printed on 300g/m2 cardstock and have an exquisite matte finish~ You just need to touch them to understand the height of sublime the surface possesses~~~
Want to have one? I’ll be selling them at the Dark Market of Lumous Gothic Festival this weekend in Tampere, and they’re available in my Tictail-shop, too

Tähtivaeltaja

 Some of you may know that I am old. Olde enough to have read Tähtivaeltaja back in the late nineties when I was a lonely old bag in the making in rural Finland, in times when the Internet was something new and expensive. I can say that reading this good old scifi-fantasy-horror-zine was one of the things keeping me sane in that very unsane environment. I’ve continued reading it ever since those backwards ancient times.

 AND for a few years now  I’ve had the pleasure of having my illustrations decorating the pages of Tähtivaeltaja, but now I made it to the cover! Somewhere a teenage me is screaming in delight.
 There’s no one more worthy of the honour of cover than the regal Ninavel. No one.
Tähtivaeltaja is a great magazine btw, you all should read it!  (Of course the mag is only in Finnish)

Yukicon

A batch of new and old bookmarks and prints ready for the artists’ alley of Yukicon (Messukeskus, Helsinki)! Stickers are on the way.

I’ll be there on Sunday 10-16 on table nr. 21 with these lovelies and a ton of other art! See you there~

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!

Ninavel progress animation

I was so busy with everything else after posting the picture of Ninavel, that I completely forgot I had taken a few wip shots of it in order to make a tine little gif of the painting process! So here we have it.
 Next time I'll take even more. This one doesn't really show the progress too well, but then again I did have a few very long work days while making this...

Ninavel the Ever Radiant

Ninavel the Ever Radiant, 2016, Pencil, ink & Photoshop

Ninavel is one of the major npcs of a campaign of Storium I’ve been running for a few years and occasionally mentioned here too. Eternally benevolent, immensely powerful and shrouded in mystery they seemingly run a secret society bent on regaining old secrets, studying the mysteries of the chaotically multi-dimensional world that is their setting; and having rad parties.

 This thing is huge and I’m still not sure I did all that is Ninavel justice… This picture also forms a diptych together with Laughter, even if they are creatures of different worlds… Maybe. 

Anyway, here's a few close ups too since the original is so damnably big!

 I’ve planned a sibling set of diptychs for these feathery ones, but we shall see when and if I have time to get those done.
