The shadow presence whispering at the shoulder of Maive finally slithers into view!
New page of Paths of Avarnight has been up for a few days, but I was not at home so I was unable to announce it here! My apologies, and here's the link!
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?
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... . . . .
Page 133 of Paths of Avarnight is done 🩸🩸🩸
Night descends, blood magic choices are and were made...
(sometimes I sit here in my room and look at those page numbers and be like, wow that's a lotta pages... and i'm sitll not done...)
Page 132 is done and posted into Tapas, read it here!
The astronomical debate continues, and Maive is not too happy about that!
There's also a couple of days left to vote in the poll! So if you've been unsure as to who to vote, now is the time to do it!
And! In May I will be attending two events! First on the 10th (a Sunday) i'm tabling for the first time at Club Lupercalia & Alakulttuurimyyjäiset! It is in Tiivistämö, Kalasatama, 11-17 and find a bit more info HERE!
And the week after that I will be signing and selling my comics at the Finnish Comic Artists table at Comic Con!More info on that a bit later! Like the schedule and stuff
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!
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...
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
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
The 1st Chapter of Paths of Avarnight draws to a close in today's update!
Or read the whole chapter from the beginning!
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...
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.
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.
