Thank you. Agree, just feels a bit silly.

(yeah I don't walk around looking this bulky, it's just the poses)

Super vain self ref studies (why do I feel the need to apologize?) but! My traps are finally visible!

That is one of my main gym/lifting goals, to have a strong back, and after 2+ years I can not only feel but also see the results.

details of some rocks & lichen

I know there must be others like me out there, who get caught in these little details, while the rest of the entourage disappears into the horizon... right?

Last day at Pyhä. Stopped at Aittakuru before starting the drive home. Short 1km walk there and back, views worth challenging the frozen (=slippery) wooden path.

a photo of a wooden path at the bottom of a corge. Trees grow at the top of the sides.

a landscape view over a lake from the top of a hill. Wooden stairs go down the hill, a single pine blocking the view a bit.

Started #knitting a pathcy cardigan from leftover and unravelled yarns. 16 pieces ready (15cmx15cm each). I need 55-64 pieces, depending on how long I'll make it.

16 pieces of knitted squares in different colours. Knitting needles with another square started in top.

Repost and show your skull art!

Still really proud of this little stop motion

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 3d

Climbed on top of Ukko-Luosto today (6.5km route, 212m ascension with 575 steps + 212m descension, mostly gravel path). The weather was too misty to see anything from the top, but still worth it.

Autumn holiday at Pyhä-fell. Visited Isokuru nature trail (Big gorge, 200m deep) and Pyhänlammenputous-waterfall. Old beautiful forest, stunning rock formations, & food at bonfire ❤️

old forest, a pond, and a rock formation that looks like a face

Morning ink heads & coffee.

I try to switch from coffee to tea only from time to time, but so far have failed miserably. Maybe one day.

#sketchbook

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 6d

Also! Fetch the print and come up with a personal code, and when buying the actual comic later on you'll get some nice extra thing (haven't decided yet what it'll be) but still! Worth coming by and say Hi! :)

a piece of my latest thingy, a handout advertising my upcoming comic, 'Raven 1: Betrayal'! You can fetch this 2-page handout for free (limited amount) at #oulucomicsfestival 15th Nov, I'll be tableing with my friend @aelmgren.bsky.social

I think I'll put gaming on hold for a while now anyway. Nothing to look forward to im that front.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 8d

In what kind of an rpg one can't refuse the side quests offered? "Oh yes of course I'll go pick flowers for you". And you couldn't sort the inventory in any way!!

Ok, rant over. Anyone want to buy the game from me? It's really good.

Finally finishes DA Veilguard! 80hrs, what a waste of time. It was an 'ok' game, but there was so many elements in the gameplay that just felt unnecessary and none of the characters surprised me in any way. "Oh, it's this trope." And like... everyone was too _nice_ and polite.

#bread stuff. Second time baking from the sourdough starter and it's the best loaf ever! Used plain wheat flour, nothing fancy. The dough was in the fridge overnight, and I folded it maybe 4-5 times before baking. Perfection.

#sourdough #baking #foodsky

a loaf of sourdough bread on a cutting board. It's already been cut and one slice is in front of the loaf. A blue kitchen towel on the right.

a sourdough starter filled glass jar, the starter has a lot of little bubbles all over it.

Couldn't really tie shoelaces or button up anything with those... claws? Velcro & zippers it is.

#comics update: the second page of my Raven-comic's freebie-trailer-handout has inks on it! Some bits to fix, some bits to highlight, it's Posca time tomorrow.

You can get a print of this for free at #oulucomicsfestival in November and I'll post the final version online after that.

#sarjakuva #ink

An inked comics page. Upper left corner: three people surround a fourth that's on their knees on the ground. A skull flows out of them to the right of the page, where stands a giant ravenlike figure, who's holding something shiny against their chest. At the lower half of the page there's a huge toad, crackling their fingers and behind it stands an old man with flowy white hair. Three empty text boxes.

#gym day, full-body. Within a year I've increased the weights 10 kg in barbell hip-thrust & leg extension, and 5kg in chest supported row. Seated dumbell press & cable curl have stayed pretty much the same, as have push-ups & sit-ups. Starting to see a pattern: the isolated muscles need attention.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 15d

Joo, ei siitä sinänsä haittaa oo. Ois kiva jos ois semmonen avoallas mistä se näkyis kunnolla.
