OUT NOW!

The first issue of my anthology comic series, SCRAMBLED EGGS is now available from Patreon, Ko-Fi and Gumroad (link in my bio):

This itsy bitsy boy joined our family today ❤️ He's a mittelspitz and we call him Piki (pitch/resin). Finnish spitzes are often called pikinokka (pitch-nose).

He's been such a good boy all evening, and seems to have a relaxed personality.

Only two days to go until I release my comic:

It's ok!!! I can move on!!!

an inkdrawing of a three men on horseback, riding through a dark forest

Redrawing one corner for the Raven-handout. I'm not 100% sure about this, I should've planned and sketched it more before inking but... it's better than the first version at least. Will edit this in and hope it's good enough.

Good to know. My tank is 180 litres (about 48 gallons). I didn't realise you're a fellow aquarist, pics please!

they're on my list of fish to try and keep alive, don't know whether they'd dig up the plants, though? Anyway I'm waiting for some of the older fish (diamond tetras) to fade away before adding any new critters.

Yes! The leopards are my absolutely favourite (don't tell the other fish). There's a couple of panda corys aswell, but they were a bit too frail for my tank, not going to buy those anymore.

#aquarium feeding frenzy, with all the fish species in the tank making an appearance

Morning scribbles from today and yesterday. No refs this time. Almost through this little A6 sketchbook.

Thank you. Agree, just feels a bit silly.

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

figurestudies of the upper body and arms of a somewhat muscular woman, drawn with a fineliner

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?

A photo of a small pond in a forest.

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.

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.

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

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.

Repost and show your skull art!

Still really proud of this little stop motion

a black and white photo of an old dead twisted treetrunk

A black and white photo of an old twisted pine with lots of branches stickin out

and of course I took like a million photos of cool old trees, here's a few in b&w

steps ascending to mist on a fell

steep fellside, some lonely trees and misty background

a misty view on top of a fell. Moss on the ground couple of tiny pines in the distance.

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.

Details of rocks

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

Pyhänlammenputous -waterfall at Pyhä fell, Isokuru.

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 ❤️

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

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.

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.

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 bread dough in a white plastic bowl.

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

#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.
