Patreon fee update
Patreon listened and the new fee and payment structure is NOT happening, thank all the gods. We continue business and pleasure as normal <3
Patreon pledge fee
Some of you may have heard that Patreon is revamping their fee policy. In an effort to "let us creators get a larger percentage of the actual pledges" (bullshit), they're going to remove the service fee from us and instead charge YOU, our beloved patrons, that fee starting Dec. 18th.That means you'd be paying your pledge + 2.9% fee + $0.35.This is utter bullshit. I'm entirely happy to pay the service fee for using Patreon, but they're not making this an optional change. P...

Drawing UL Ch5 page 2
Penciling page 2!I start with a small thumbnail that I stretch to fit the full size page and use that as a layout guide as I draw the actual art for the page on a new layer.It was suggested to me that I'd talk over the videos, explaining what I'm doing and talking crap about the characters. Is that something people would like?

Early look at new pages!
There's only colors and letters to go on the first three pages to the new chapter, but it's driving me mad to sit on them. So if you want to see what happens next before everyone else, go HERE !My work life's been crazy ever since September. Working on two comic series at a time is a bit too much for an artist, since our job in the line up is the one with the heaviest work. It takes about 20 days to draw one comic issue, but what happens when you have about the same amount of time to...

Where we left off.Sooooonnn...
Pin Up Pairing Poll
Last month I didn't have time to make the monthly pin up before November rolled around. I was going to draw it asap and send it personally to Patrons who might've dropped out buuuuut luckily all of you stayed on board <33SO, instead I'm going to do a double pin up this month! You know what that means? That means smoochies *3*Choose your fave pairing below! Kai is ace/demi, so he's not part of this party. This won't be full on porn but there will be touching 8D

I got a nice tsunami of work that I'm drawing my way through and it's taking up my days and nights. BUT WELL it&#...
Shading UL chapter 5 cover
This is how I did the colors for the latest cover! I came back to it later and did some tweaks that are not on the video, but otherwise it's the whole coloring process.The video is also up HERE.This is sped up 8x, let me know if you want the real time version (2h).
Akseli Gallen-Kallela - inspiration behind the UL covers
I color the Unknown Lands covers differently than... pretty much everything else I do.The reason is the covers have been a bit of an homage to the Finnish romantic nationalist artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, and his beautiful, epic illustrations of the Kalevala (Finnish national epic, UL is heavily influenced by this too). I love his art so much. He brings the mythos alive with such beauty and magic. I wanted a touch of that magic into Unknown Lands as well.Other inspirations for the covers are mo...

Chapter 5 cover WIP
Ahhh pencils for the cover of chapter 5! Guys, I'm really excited for this chapter. We're going to see some creepy new colors on everyone
New Chapter 1!
This past weekend I was at Thought Bubble in the UK and brought a printed version of Unknown Lands... just not what you'd seen before! This was the new version of chapter 1. The story is the same, just with better art, better pacing and a bunch more background info. Also some updated designs for "NPCs" :DAll who got the printed version at the convention have seen this and now it's up for you Patrons too! SEE HEREThere are still some edits I need to make + add colors. Also those w...
The gods - pencils
New versions of the random (or some of them now not-so-random) gods shown in the very beginning of the comic! It's so fun to design characters with absolutely no need for practicality at all :D
$300 Goal Reached!
3rd goal is reached, WOHOO!! Thank you so much <3This means I'm drawing you a mini comic about how Mischief got those tattoos on his chin. It wasn't exactly your standard way of getting a tattoo and it changed him for good.The comic will be available for all patrons!
New Ch1 thumbs
Some-friggin'-how, despite adding a bunch of stuff and even extending the new chapter 1 to what used to be 6 pages into chapter 2, the revised chapter 1 is still 20 pages long! Feels so short compared to the other ~30 page chapters (or 41 in chapter 3's case), but very convenient when you want to print it :DThese pages also feel a bit weird because usually I do 11x17 pages, but no printer around here does the American comics format (unless you ask for special measurements), so these are ...
