Updates on next week!

Hello and sorry for the long wait.

I have next week free from work so I hope to be able to work on the pages more. The next page of TOE is only missing its last layer of color aka shadows XD The following page is also half way done. Also a character design needed for the page after that is done so I can actually think of sketching it as well.

The first page of TWOD's second part has been ready for a good while, but with the cover art still undone (I have a little trouble getting it the way I want it) you still have to wait for it.

I hope to get some pages done next week, but they won't be brought online right away. So there will be updates now and then during the summer :)
However, all in all I have only two weeks of vacation in the whole summer so I quess for the most part I am tired after work. I have so many new things to learn all the time and it's surprisingly tiring when you feel that you still just don't get it. But it's remarkably relieving when you realize you actually understand something!

Have a happy and warm summer!

TWOD character-pages

As the title says, the new characters pages I have been hiding for ages now are open. Go and check them out!

Geryan

The characters introduced so far are Amy, Geryan and Esstel from the main cast of which the two last ones you will come to know in the second party of the story.

I want to say something shortly about Geryan on the right.
Designwise he hasn't changed at all since the first try of the story. Well, at all is a bit wrong because the hem of his jacket has changed it's shape ones. However there is one thing I never did when I was drawing him. I always knew that he had a big build, but for a reason or another I never made him look big so he ended up being the same size with the other characters. One reason behind this might have been the fact that I did not feel the need to be too accurate (and when I was younger and began on the story all my character builds looked the same).

Now in this character picture you finally get to see him the way I have always imagined him! And I myself ended up liking the picture quite a bit :)

TWOD update in DD

Amy character picture

Finally I was able to upload the pages in drunkduck, so they are up now.

Page 19 of Part 1 will be up in a few days. No promises when page 20 (the last page of part 1) will be up. Hopefully it will be soon anyway.
After page 20 we have a kind of "closing words" for part 1. After that the first part of the story is finished.

Between part 1 and 2 so far hidden pages at the homesite will be published. I'll also proof-read the information and world map pages because I seem to have several stupid mistakes there.

Also after the first part I will give my full attention to TOE for a good while.

TWOD update

Tomorrow morning a new page of TWOD will show up in smackjeeves.

However, in drunkduck I wasn't able to do the uploading so it will be up there later. I will try again on tomorrow or the day after.

This was just a quick note pointing out that updates are in SJ, but not yet in DD :)

Fanart

For your enjoyment while waiting for updates I want to show you two TOE fanarts. (There is one more TOE fanart by Cahir-the-whicher at the gallery.)


Viator by Cahir-the-witcher

 First here is child Viator by Cahir that was according to her inspired by my art shown in this blog.

Viator is being extra cute here! However, you will still need to wait for a while before we'll see bits of his childhood in the comic.

The other fanart is by my sister. When she gets back home during summer we can scan the picture properly. However, the current version has been taken with a digital camera.

Aamu and Saturnin by Lehmu

This fanart shows well the relationship (or lack of it) between these two. Aamu has a huge crush on the high-shaman when he is completely oblivious.

It is Aamu's feelings which we tried to show you with Kaj in the First Aside.

Update on the situation of TWOD.
I have finally started to work on the pages again. I have recovered almost completely since my last blog-update. However, I won't have time to become 100 % well before the pollen and allergies come.

So, soon my allergies will steal most of my energy. We'll see how that affects the comics. I know I'll be slow at work just like always during the pollen season.

I'm happy I don't have hay fever!! I consider myself lucky!

No updates

I'm sorry there are no updates. My new work has not only kept me busy, but I actually fell ill. I have been ill since last Friday and today I had to stay home instead of going to work.

I just don't feel like drawing now so it will still take a while before I'm able to update. I'm sorry, but I'm sure this bothers me more than you. I hoped that I would get the four last pages of part one done, but no! All these things happen andd keep me from finishing them!!

Now I'll consentrate on getting better and returning to work. Comics have to wait for a while...

Information-page

I have opened the information page for TWOD. It consists of two pages. One includes information which may change and get longer as the story gets forward. The other is the page for the world map and to get there you have to go trough the information page.

TWOD Information

Now, sorry for my slowness with the page updates. I have had a lot in my ming, but all four last pages of the first chapter are almost sketched. I hope to get as much done as possible this week (including the pages) because next week I will start at my new job and the first few weeks will most likely eat all my time and leaves nothing for the comics.

I'm sorry for having so long breaks between pages again, but I hope you understand the situtation. After all I need a job to be able to keep this going to begind with XD And luckily I got one so quickly and a good one at that. Wish me luck!
