Working on page 6

Due to personal reasons January and February were rough and I didn't get to work on Will-o'-Wisp much. But I'm getting back to it this week. Working on this page that I was so proud of while doing the lineart, and now I hate it haha.

Mr. Worm 🪱❤️

I have finished the lineart of Will-o'-Wisp part 2 and have now started coloring page 1 ✨️

Sometimes I wish I could give all these fun side characters their own story. Like this old goblin lady, I'm sure she was friends with Winnies grandma at some point.

Anyone suggestions on nice gnome houses? What objects we have today would be great for a tiny creature to live in?

Fun fact: Winnie does not often remove her hat, but if she does you can see this hair called 'Ahoge' 😁

'Ahoge, literally "foolish hair," is a visual cue common to Japanese anime and manga. A lock of hair sticking out used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters'

Meet Jan, he's a very badass ladybug.

Finished the lines for page 16!

Working hard to get this cover finished so I can print flyers for Dutch Comic Con this weekend 💪

I sketched this yesterday and it made me think of someone, and today I realised it was Dr Robotnik haha

Possible cover and title for Part 2 😊

Drawing a centipede for multiple pages is a challenge, but he's definitely one of my favorite characters from Part 2!

AAAH so happy with my new shirt design! In collaboration with my friend at Smithsfoodgroup DIY, a small heavy music label from NL

When I sketched this panel 1,5 year ago I was thinking: 'I have no idea how I'm going to pull this off'. But now that I'm actually here, it's not so scary anymore. It took me long enough to start on my comic, not going to let a 'dificult' panel get me down.

Ahh dankjewel!

Part 2 is already fully sketched (because I wanted volume 1 to be bigger in the first place). And it will have more pages than part 1 😊

Officially started working on Will-o'-Wisp part 2 yesterday! Have a peek at page 1 😄

I will be going on vacation next week! If you want something from my webshop, order it before Tuesday 😊

I'll be back at the end of August.

I translated Will-o'-Wisp in English but it needs to be checked for spelling mistakes. It will be available after my vacation ✌️

I have finally been able to launch the pledge manager on Kickstarter. This means emsils have been sent out to collect shipping data and a t-shirt size survey.

Also those who have picked it up at Dutch Comic Con will have to do this I think 🤔

Everything arrived in time for Dutch Comic Con!

Omg delivery of my comic is delayed for 2 days, it better be here on Thursday bc DCC starts on Friday (；・∀・)

If you backed you will soon get an email about the fullfilment of the items. So keep an eye on your inbox/spam.

You can also pick it up at Dutch Comic Con and I will compensate the shipping costs you payed with free prints/stickers 😊

English version of the comic will be shipped in September.

I will get all the items this week (Dutch comic, t-shirt, postcards, bookmark and stickers) so they will be available at @dutchcomiccon this weekend ❤️

Come find met at my usual spot in the Dealer Hall booth H02

Aahh thank you thank you thank you! My Kickstarter campaign ended with over 236% funded! If you had told me this a month ago I would have thought you were joking 😱
