There’s been so many pokémon fusions around I wanted to do it too.
Some pictures of the book itself! Book design by Päivi Toikka.
Concept or a thing for a comic thing. It’s Efrite.
3 out of 9 illustrations I made for finnish Viking Saga book: Egill Yksikätinen - muinaissaagoja Pohjolasta by Hilmisdóttir Helga. ISBN: 978-951-792-576-1. It’ll be soon found at local bookstores in Finland. I’m very happy and proud! And Päivi did excellent job with the book design, I’ll post more photos when I have the book at my hands. The stories are also totally rad and inspiring for everyone who’s into Norse mythology. I enjoyed reading them and I recommend getting a copy for everyone who’s interested. It’s only available in finnish!
This was an idea that Leppu came up with, and lots of people seemed eager to contribute to, so, I quickly assembled a bit of guidelines because I’m willing to be responsible for getting this to print. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN??!
Hunter x Hunter
This song is as anime as anime gets and barely even animated dear god but I still totally watch it every time episode ends. My shounen kokoro is all weak for all these characters even though series itself is starting to get bad but the first arc is just really, really good. Hisoka is actually my favourite character but I enjoy main duo’s nakamaship adventures so it’s nice to draw them.

I participated in crayoncrunch April round, took it as a chance to paint. I used to paint lot more before university, now it’s been more like 2-3 pieces a year. Mmaaann. Gotta improve that.
I use references a lot, but I hardly never draw with image next to me and copying directly from it to final work. I need references for different reasons. One is that if I don’t understand the structure of what I’m drawing, I look it up. Secondly I google up a lot imagery related to certain era, style, medium or color schemes.
References are sort of guideposts on the way to the finish, like “hey this is cool aim for this!” but the work mutates along the way depending how medium, my technical skills and imagination fill in. I guess creation process at it’s best is like drunkard on a track, you sorta need to focus on the track, what you want your artwork to look like, but also give space for shortcuts, stumbles and occasional brainvomit.
Majorly failing at gouache, so I touched it up in Photoshop.
PS I know it’s annoying to say something is failure even if it looks good in the end, but the original is far from awesome before it met Photoshop :D
Thanks for all the feedback in the previous picture. I was honestly desperate at some point. Biggest change I did was remove the tree and the branches. I liked the idea of Godswood, but it was best to let it go, even if I made so many textures and branch variations with brush. It was a kill your darling situation haha…but I’m glad I did it. It made it easier for me to return to my original idea, which was that I really wanted to include that quote, and atmosphere changed too, with starry sky and dark forest giving a small breather from all the stuff around.
I need heeelp I’ve been doing this for so long I can’t really tell if it’s just utterly confusing to look at or what so uhh any feedback and critique to move on?
imaginary landscape
These and other pictures will be combined to Stark children poster which I’ve been meaning to do since last summer.
Avatar : the Last Airbender doodles
I guess I can show this much
This turned like instantly anime when I made those shadows in his face. Anyhow, lately I’ve been rather pleased with my ink work.
Nib pen, ink, 300g coldpressed paper (less would do but, I haven’t bought new paper in long time.)
