New saga

Here’s the new Lono design and a slight change on Pira’s look. And at the bottom, it’s Josh’s tabby cat and he suggested me to turn her into an actual character for Spera. Josh’s Edit: This Lono design is intended only for winter comics. I might twick on the design in the future. Feel free to give me suggestion.

Aaaaaaand

it’s up. Over 44 artists (don’t forget those great pin-ups!), nearly 200 pages (if splitting the vertical comics counts), 10 months of site work and 1 year since I began writing the original novella — there is no question that Spera became a far larger project than I had ever dreamed it would be. The whole thing only functions because of the insane amount of collaboration...

Part 3 Help Wanted

There’s a possibility we’ll need someone to take over a section in Part 3. If so, we’ll need someone who can create about 3 traditional comic pages at an inhuman pace — we’re talking by the end of the week or not much later. Only applicants/demons from another realm who are seriously capable of this should apply; if you let a friend know about the offer, they must be...

Making the colours - step 3

The search of good contrast is a long quest…

The start.

I started drawing on my part of Spera a couple of days ago. I was planning to use wax crayons, but after I started doodling with pens I changed my mind. I want to draw a b/w comic, with approximately 4-5 pages. I will use the original text as reference only, so it will not appear in the comic itself. Anyhow, on to some drawings. I really like to draw Yonder. I know his fur is supposed to be...

Part 2 is up! →

There it is. This is just an unbelievable achievement. The talent involved, the time and work put into it — all of it has resulted in the most palpable sense of magic, warmth and love. Going through Part 2 on the site like this for the first time overwhelmed me. Mr. Hentges put some real overtime into it today to make sure it got online — ten straight hours of work, not counting...
