Inactivity

 I have been rather inactive with my student blog here, for some weeks, and I'm terribly sorry about that. I shall throw up the stuff I have been doing since last update, some when tomorrow and then be more active here, I promise. Besides school I have been writing on one project that will lie in some drawer until next year though. And then I'm plotting on a minor web comic, which will be online with first chapter in about two weeks.
I also bought a bottle of wine today, only to find out that wine is pretty disgusting. I guess it's not my destiny to become a sophisticated wine drinking artist after all. I spilled a lot of that stuff on my shirt also, but that's okay since it looks a bit like I have been out fighting zombies or something. How cool is that.

Spirou versus The Road.

And now I'm going on vacation for a week. *finds blankets, hot chocolate and those dvd boxes*

Here on Graphic Storytelling, we're all working very seriously and hard, and nothing silly would ever happen here.

Prioritare A

So last week I finished the second student comic, an 8-page short story based on another classmates environment. The assigned environment I got was "A dream version of a mail office" and my story is about Gabby, a new employee at this dreamland office, that finds a curious little thing, instead of listening to instructions at her very first day on the job. I'm usually a digital artist, but lined this one in hand, using a dip pen for the first time in my life. It was quite something new to try, and even with all those time I stabbed myself with the pen, and the leftovers of ink I still haven't gotten off my nails completely, I think I have grown to prefer dip pen as my traditional media.

The Nox project.

this page is made of frustrations, sweat, blood and tears.

A collab project I started on in the beginning of 2013, along with the lovely Olivia Hörtin. A bigger project meant to be a scifi fantasy mixed webcomic about a vampire and a human with odd mutated gene stuff and what not. The basic concept of the story is that a lot of people want to kill them and they have to survive, since it sucks being dead.
The project is on hold for now though.
The pages you see here are sketched and (the first one) coloured by me. Lineart by Olivia Hörtin. Her art blog is to be found here
