Mitral & Summer Schedule

 Those ancient beings that got a hold of my comic all those years ago might recognise this darling~ They are a key player in the story of my comic, and hopefully Mitral will become familiar to many more readers in the future... When I restart that ancient comic of mine.

This was even supposed to be just a sketch, ended up spending three days with it. Sick with flu at that.

 As for my schedule for this summer, it looks magnificently busy!

• First, I'll be on the artists' alley of Desucon 11th of June, on a Saturday for once!
•  After that my prints and other products will be available in the Little Shop of Horrors of Oulu Dungeon from the 29th of June to the 8th of July! This will be the northernmost place my stuff has ever been available.
•  During that same time I will participate in the Finncon artists' alley, from the 2nd to the 3rd of July in Tampere to sell my art!
•  I've also booked a trader's table at Ropecon, from the 29th to the 31st of July! This will be my 10th consecutive Ropecon attended and I decided to celebraty by seeing how my art will please the congoers, please come and say hi~

Sketching!

 I have this beautiful one week of no lectures in between courses, which I will of course use to try and draw something worthwhile. Let's see how it goes.

I also went to see the cherry blossoms of Roihuvuori now that I have all this free time. So, so much free time

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 ^^
