Cover art for chapter 1 of "Dandelion: Weed of all trades" featuring the two protagonists. Both are wearing dark blue store clerk aprons with name tags and chequered collared shirts. The shorter person's tag says "Dande", her shirt is green and she has yellow bob hair with a tuft resembling a dandelion on top. She's grinning nervously while striking a peace sign. The taller person's tag says "Malin", her shirt is yellow and her hair is long and light brown, it's tied to pigtails with pink bows that resemble the nib of an ink pen. She's smiling and striking a confident pose, one arm on the hip, one behind her head. In front of Dande is a figure covered in flames, and in front of Malin is a purple girlish figure with a daffodil in her hair, holding a large paint brush. A large green figure looms in the background.

A dark scenery filled with large, partially cracked eggs with faces, leafless trees with branches curled into spirals, crooked mountains and a castle, and a path walked by tired looking people with balls and chains tied to one of their ankles. One person is nearing collapse and another is laying face down. A canine creature is chewing on bones. A close up panel shows a worn down couple carrying a baby. Their facial features are obscured outside of their eyes displaying sadness, and the baby is crying and seems to be losing teeth. The page ends on a panel showing the family noticing a bright light shine from behind them.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Kotoha's still having strong headaches from the hit she took from Krisse's mace. She falters and Malin catches her. "You haven't recovered yet?" Kotoha's bow drops to the floor and she quickly grabs it and jumps away from Malin. " I HAVE!!! The doctor said the headaches should stop soon! Please leave...!" Malin: "Okay. Sorry." Malin closes the door, then thinks to herself: "Of course, it's not all gonna be fun..." A little later, Dande is standing on Siru, and Malin comes outside, dressed up, looking at Dande's back.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Kotoha is in her room listening to music when Malin knocks and then barges in to announce that they're about to land, only to pause when she sees the usually proper butler lazily lounging on her bed in her underwear with a half eaten chocolate bar in hand and a bunch of candy wrappings scattered all over the room. Malin, realizing she has just seen something she shouldn't have, tries to make a quick exit but before she can close the door Kotoha's bow is on her throat. "Even butlers have a right to privacy." "O-Of course, but...can we at least acknowledge the irony...?" Kotoha: "...Noted. I'll do better. But laugh and you'll never wake up aga-" something makes Kotoha stop mid sentence.

Next in line for me would be Koffing, though I may underestimate how much the general public would be put off by the gas aspect lol. But it's also one of the most unique and unexpectedly friend shaped things Pokemon has done.

Rohanite @rohancomics.com · 1d

I've always thought Poliwhirl had the most mascot potential outside of Pikachu and Charizard, it's such a unique but simple and like, pleasant design, there's nothing else like it outside of Pokemon, it's the perfect representation of "I'm not sure what this is but it's clearly a friend".

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Dande pulls Malin out of the hatch but accidentally uses too much force and nearly slams her against the door behind her. "W-Woah! That was close... I need some real exercise, this should not be happening..." Malin: "N-Nice to feel light... What's that under thing under the tree...?" Dande: "...Don't worry about it, just something to keep the house warm~ More importantly..." Dande pulls Malin up "We should be landing pretty soon!" Malin: "Oh, YAY!! Gotta get ready!" Malin then pulls Dande closer with a sly look "...An acceptable distraction, for now. I don't mind a few secrets early on~"

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Inside the tree hollow is a dandelion, with the flower burning as a faint flame. Malin is mesmerized, but when Dande awkwardly notifies her of her presence her hand slips and she falls, but gets stuck in the hatch by her butt. "Uh...help...?"

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. "...I fell asleep...?" Malin sits up, wipes the tear off her eye, and then looks at a hatch on the wall next to Dande's bed. An image of Dande with flaming hair and slightly different eyes flashes through Malin's mind, and she opens the hatch. Through it she sees a hollow in the roots of Siru's tree that's right before Dande's room. In the hollow a light seems to shine faintly. Malin takes a closer look, and while she's trying to go through the hatch Dande walks in and swiftly turns around as all that's left of Malin to greet her in the room is her butt.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. A lightning strikes from the sky and makes Dande disappear. The fire goes out, and Malin falls. The spiders start crawling towards her again. In the place where Dande stood, a literal dandelion flower remains, and starts to rise. Somewhere, a flame burns faintly, and Malin wakes up from her dream, eyes wide open, shedding a single tear.

Low-key my first crush in general🫣 I think I was too young to really acknowledge it at the time but looking back...

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Another figure, resembling Dande but also shrouded in shadow, appears in front of Malin. She hits her fists together like Malin did with the rocks before, but actually creates a spark, lighting the wood on fire. Malin seems happier and warms her hands above the fire. Then, a light shines from the clouds above.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Malin holds her injured hand and gives up on the fire. She is surrounded by giant spiders and icebergs that have people inside, looking at her and trying to break out. They appear to resemble Malin's mother and kids from her school memories seen in chapter 11. Malin tries to warm herself but starts to break down, when a spark appears.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. A dream like sequence of a person covered in shadow, whose figure resembles Malin with shorter hair, trying to start a fire over some wood by hitting rocks against each other. Before the fire can start she accidentally injures one of her hands and drops the rock from that hand.

Rohanite @rohancomics.com · 9d

Thank you! It's pretty exciting to think of ways to use it in the future

Rohanite @rohancomics.com · 9d

Probably could've broken this page up in two but sometimes it's a fun challenge to try and fit one big dialogue section into one page. As long as there aren't many like that in a row (and this page is followed by 4 with zero dialogue lol)

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Kotoha, grinning slightly: "...I'm glad you asked. A demonstration might be necessary, though." Kotoha gets her bow, then asks Dande to give her her hand. "Overture: Senritsu...GIRI!" She slices Dande's hand and Emilia notices a sound come out. Kotoha: "My bow turns souls into instruments. 'Playing' a specific body part is harmless besides a little sting, but will provide me information regarding said part, through memories. Without me specifically channelling it into one's mind it's usually all gibberish to others. I'm not experienced at that, but I comprehend it myself." Dande: "Uh, proof?" Kotoha: "Hmm... Oh my... I heard the voice of wordly curiosity, denying itself at the slightest touch (she extracted the memory of Dande's hand briefly touching Malin's breast). Quite the gentlewoman. Or just a cherry." Dande regrets asking for proof. Kotoha continues her explanation: "Cutting one's throat produces a full 'song', with training I've learned to hone in on specific sounds, the strongest emotions and memories. The target will then fall into a deep sleep, and hear their own song until they've reconciled with themselves in their head. I do not know how long that will take. Some may never wake up again... One day...I would like the opportunity...to play the song of this world itself. And before you ask, yes, the targets of my training got what they deserved. As did that woman... Now...if you'll excuse me." Kotoha leaves while pressing her aching forehead, leaving Dande and Emilia with no chance to respond.

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Emilia: Didn't sleep much? Did you, uh...have a wild night...?" Kotoha: "They did not." Dande: "Yeaah I don't think I'm quite ready for THAT..." Emilia: "I-I'm sorry!!" Dande thinks about how she and Malin awkwardly slept in the same bed without doing anything, and how they're probably both too used to sleeping alone. She then realizes something and gives a suspicious look to Kotoha: "...Wait a minute... Who are YOU to answer that...?" Kotoha: "I-I wasn't spying...!! And I don't care either way. It's just that...when feelings get that heated up in my vicinity, I can't always avoid...'hearing'." Dande: "...Huh. That sounds...slightly awkward for others, but...definitely potentially traumatic for you. Take care (Want juice?)." Emilia: "Is there even a therapist for that kind of issue...?" Kotoha: "Doubt it... Is that all? Knock if you need me. Dande: One more thing...Eloranta, out guest is still asleep, yea?" (referring to Krisse) Emilia: "Ah, yes...I took the opportunity to shrink them." Dande: "Butler...what did you do to her?"

#Dandelion

A comic page from Dandelion. Malin: "Really...? Shouldn't he be more famous?" Dande: "His prince and hero personas seem to be avoiding the media so far. But you've seen him in adverts. There was one by the store." Malin: "Oh...that's him? That...makes me kinda mad." Emilia: He's better looking without the costume." Kotoha: Owners of those phones may also know him as an independent video broadcaster. He's gaining quite a bit of influence, particularly among teenage girls and young women. Not me, though. I'm old." Dande: When I met him years ago, he just seemed like a weirdo. Talking about forging the world and shit. But I guess most dangerous people are just weirdos with a backing or money. His true goals are still a mystery for us, but I just thought I should warn you: Based on his words the other day...I might be in for a REAL fight soon." Dande notices Malin has fallen asleep while she talked. "Well, at least someone's not worried."
