Ateneum & update

 I apologise for my silence here in the blog, trying to scrape up the last remaining courses for graduation is time consuming work, I'm afraid. Soon, things will let down a bit and I'll hopefully have time to draw & paint again... Never give up hope!

 Even if things have been rather hectic, I still sneaked out to see the Japanomania exhibition in Ateneum Art Museum the other day~ There was a place for doing water paintings, and the exhibition wasn't half bad either!

Looks like ink, yet it is not.

For alley news I can reveal that I'll be attending the artists' alleys of both Desucon and Finncon! I'll keep you posted on the details and all the new stuff I might conjure up for them~

ps. I'm also helping the arrangement of this year's Taidekuja! Please like the page if you're interested in attending, that way you'll keep yourself informed~

pps. My new works are also available in my Redbubble shop

Everyone needs a corset dragon bag, right?

The Hunger of Danil

 pencil, ink, watercolour & Painttool Sai

 A revisit to the life the tragic Lifewell Danil, whom I introduced earlier here. Here Danil has re-acquired some skill in his former forté shapechanging, but in a rather different way than before.

…And if my printer doesn’t blow up, this darling will be presented as a print at the artists alley of Popcult, Helsinki this weekend.

 Here's a close-up of Danil's lovely face, for I feel it dosn't get the attention it needs in the shrinked version.

A trip to rainbowvomit-land

Time to puke some rainbows~

I made shirt-able version of my sweet, innocent unicorn boy (whom I drew for that colouring booklet), frolicking away without a care in the world. Here to snatch all your hearts <3 With shōjo bubbles.

…And speaking of bubbles, this baby is of course available in my humble Redbubble shoppe~

And a happy little unicorn boy cannot indeed do without a friend, so I also updated my second illustration for the colouring booklet, a crafty karakasa. 

And on a different note; I will be present at the Artists' Alley of Popcult (in Kulttuuritalo, Helsinki) on Sunday the 10th April! I will update some picture of possible new goodies I'll have available closer to the date, but for now they will be shrouded in mystery~ 

A Feather

Trying to remember what painting is, a sketch from a future comic project (on which I should be working after I’ve finished all the other things in my queue). Also, I should probably organise my table…

ps. there’s still about one and a half hours left to participate in the giveaway ;D

Black dragon

I haven’t really had the time to draw much since I finished all the drawings for the colouring booklet in early January. Now I’m painfully trying to revive a corpse known as my drawing skills… So have a scandalously dressed black dragon guy, who kindly graced my dreams last night and helped me regain some grasp of drawing again <3

I’m rather sure we might see more of him later~ 

P.S. There is a colouring booklet giveaway going on over at my tumblr! But if you don't have tumblr and would like to participate, you can always send me an email at haltijakapala [å] gmail . com 

 See the rules over at tumblr first though ^^

The Colouring Booklet

Cover by Nameless Ghoul

The much sneak peeked project is finally ready to be unveiled! A joint project of seven artists brings you the most Fantastic Colouring Booklet you’ll ever find~ 24 pages of fantastical beings and their humanized counterparts eager to receive some tender love and colouring, by you

The Unicorns by Pihlajatar & yours truly

Come and get yours on the artists’ alley at Yukicon this weekend! Me and Pihlajatar will be on the table number 4 on Sunday! I will re-open my StorEnvy soon so that all you international lovelies might also get one, if you feel so inclined~~

Yukicon 2016

 Just a quick note to remind you all lovelies that I will be at the Artists' Alley of Yukicon (in Helsinki) next weekend on Sunday 10-16! There are different artists each day. So please come and say hi~ I'll be sharing my table with the lovely Pihlajatar as always.

 Hopefully we will also have something new and cool up for sale there, but it is in the hands of our print shop now... I will properly announce our secret project as soon as the goodies arrive to my lair~ Here's a super mysterious sneak peek~

 I also went on a trip to London few weeks back, which in part is the reason for the long silence here. Have a few nice pictures of trees as an apology!
