Seen "we choose our favorite characters because we see ourselves in them" meme doing rounds.
Wanted to give it a try, but without a video. Don't often post fan art but this was fun.
Quick and messy sketchbook doodles, because my hand is already mad at me.

Early concept sketches of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".
Photo's from the sketchbook are a bit messy, since my sketchbook is THICK and it is pretty much impossible to take good photos with.

Character ref sheet of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".
The design is inspired by birds of paradise.
I tried to incorporate elements from both the object itself as well as Murmeli's shapes, since key is a part of him.

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.

I'm at Helsingin Sarjisfestarit on Saturday 20.9!
No booth, but I'll be handing out stickers to those lucky (or unlucky) to ask.
Also... "Book of Change" got picked as a finalist for Zine Fest: Taivaallisin verkkosarjakuva competition!
See you there!

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!

Printed out new set of BoC stickers for the Helsinki comic festival!
It has been a while since I did the last batch. Really happy how these turned out!
Don't have a table at the festival, but I'll hand these out to people interested (if I can work up the courage for it).

Went together with a friend to print out stickers for the Helsinki comic festival. Had some issues with the width settings, so the sticker positioning isn't perfectly optimal. We managed to fit them to the material limit though!
The new stickers turned out so well and exited to show them later!

Drawing hand is recovering, but managed to still get this done on time (thank you buffer!). Next update is scheduled for August to give my hand time to heal properly.
