Love the dynamics between these characters!!! ~~~ ❤️

Worst part was that I decided to change it AFTER the flat colors.

So had to also fix up all the color layers on every new round of tweaks. -.-"

Had to show my descend to madness while working on the most recent BoC page.

- First version: Hmm, Murmeli's hair is not quite wild enough.
- Second version: That looks too weird.
- Third version: Needs a couple tweaks to look perfect.
- Forth version: ...send help.

Ehdottomasti näin!

Juonen kehittelyn kannalta tärkeimmät ideat yleensä syntyvät kun rupeaa miettimään "mitä tästä seuraa" tai "jos tämä JA tämä, niin mitä tarkoittaa".

"Entä jos" tilanteiden miettiminen auttaa paljon hahmojen syventämisessä vaikka idea ei pääsisikään lopulliseen sarjikseen mukaan.

Short comic. Panel 1: Me rereading my comic as a refresher, disgusted at the old art. Panel 2: Relieved to get to the recent chapters.

Good excuse to wear something untill they detonate when you FINALLY manage to obtain something that you really really like. XD

Getting new glasses is always a challenge...

When I don't need a new pair, there are many nice frames available. But when I try to buy new ones the frame fashion has JUST changed to something I don't particularly care for.

I somehow always manage to be out of sync with the trends. :"D

Don't table at cons, but working on my webcomic on a snail phase. Basically updating a page spread a month.

Tried first updating every two weeks, but that was a bit too much to juggle with full time job. Ate up all freetime and page quality started to suffer.

Slow is better than burn out.

Never make the bed later.

A 4-panel comic. I'm washing my bedsheets, taking them off the bed and putting them in the washing machine. As I glance back towards my unmade bed, I think to myself, "Hmmm, I have work to do, I'll make the bed later." But then it's 11pm and I'm going to bed and it's still unmade, I just roll my eyes and say "FUUUUUUU"

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

I like writing comics specifically because the process is sometimes like

1. whoa I got an idea that would be really cool to draw
2. now I just need to create a world around it to lead to that happening and I’ll get to draw it in several months

BoC update!

This page... was tricky. Had to really really push the limits of what I'm currently capable of. Really proud how it turned out though!
