Couple of things for the rerun that are possibly the biggest changes.
First one being Sketchcote. This may still change but we'd like to introduce him and Loksley from the getgo. And this means showing that he's.. Not quite right. Him and his dogs appear to be able to traverse in peculiar ways. And his, mostly friendly beasties, have somet...

I wanted to briefly talk about this, it's likely not going to be what some folk want to hear, but we feel it's the right decision for the comic in order to progress with it.
There's no urgency to this either way, but I wanted to be transparent as to what we've been up to. The comic has stood on a shelf for a very long time now due to other...

All the older pages that were published on the website! For anyone who fancies a read of them here. ♥ There are a few more that only Patrons got to see, but you can find those under the Tistow tag. ♥

Couple more from the super secret squirrel project! I can't say for sure yet when this is going live, but towards the end of this month there'll be something popping up I hope you guys will enjoy watching. ;o;
I have some news on Tistow's front and it involves taking the website down for some time. I'm thinking I might host the comic here ...

This is definitely one of the more fun comics I had the opportunity to do for Star Stable. ♥ Adventures of two arctic foxes on their way to Jorvik!

I've managed to draw frustratingly little since September. I discovered bit earlier this month that my body's gone on shutdown mode since then and lot of the extreme fatigue, brain fog, lack of coordination and general dumbness makes more sense now. :(
This wasn't picked up on any of the earlier tests, which is kinda irritating because it ...

Hi guys! I'm so sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth, both Miikka and I have been ridiculously busy with our jobs but I also had a huge shock to the system not long after I last updated.
If you've been following me on my social media, you'll find I haven't actually drawn much, at all in fact, since the 21st of September. ...

Hi, Miikka here! :D Hope you've been well.
Haven't gotten too much to post on Patreon, since Year In Hereafter/Lastname Grey page WIPs are so awkward for me to capture.
I work on them really spontaneously when I can between work and school. Trying to save coherent WIP stages out of them is so far out of ...
RedBubble candidates! I ended up ordering these two from a completely different site as a test, and I'm so chuffed how they turned out in print. The Second image is now my favourite yard hoodie to wear when I'm out caring for Honey in the mornings. I love it to bits.
Rosemåling is a traditional Scandinavian folk painting, particularly pop...

It's Star Stable's 10th birthday! I joined the team a few years ago now, and my life has changed a lot since then.
August was a bit of a disaster month. Honey arrived at the end of it, but she very nearly died on her first day her. :'| I haven't been online much because of that. I spent a week sleeping in the stable next to her, well, call...

SSO is releasing couple of dragon-inspired horses later this month. We've pitched a short comic to go with them. Here's some foals for now! :D

A very horsey post! And full of midstols and halefjaers.
This is the Dunkirk stud and the main reason I've been away. Lot has happened since Ellie's little rainbow colt passed. I took a trip down south specifically to see them and I've made the decision to bring Honey home with me. ♥ Ellie's doing great and has recovered incredibly well,...

I'm now a horse. In a game. ;O;
The SSO team had picked a Finnhorse as Maya's new companion in the game little while ago. And they asked me if I'd be ok with her being named after me. ;_____; I'm still clutching pearls. The quest line is really sweet and I love Elli's character. They make a really great pair and I look forward to seeing ho...

Continuation to Elli's sketches from earlier and this can be found amongst them. :)
Thought it was extra cute, told Elli I'll colour it, there was no stopping me

From Elli this time. :D Something.. Fun. A bear, wolf.. Thing. A modification to one of the legends in Kalevala. You can try to work out which one. :>

I'm very sorry for disappearing on you all last month, this has been a really horrible week.
I've posted about this before in a lot more positive light, but most of you know I've been waiting for the birth of my first horse, a Fjord Horse foal from the Dunkirk stud ran by my friend in Cambridge.
We were a whole month overdue in June,...

IT'S FINALLY TIME.
I've spoken about this on and off for the last two years. This is the project that I was wrapped up in for the longest time and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I apologise for the lack of updates, but it really has been a busy couple of years and I'm pleased I've had the opportunity to work with Star Stable on so many dif...

And that is the last of the introductions! :D Hope you enjoy.
The central character of the comic is revealed here, and he is doctor Fred Grey. And his clinic appropriately is a central location to all of this.

And here we go, first 6 pages have been inked! The very opening introduces most of the cast, only Doctor Grey himself is left and he'll appear in the next installment. :D
The pages that I posted a couple weeks ago have been slightly updated too, now that I'm getting a sense of just how dense I want the level of detail to be.
(... I still haven't worked out a proper title for the comic, so I'll be referring to its project name for the time being.)
Eey! Last weekend was very productive, I got to start the opening spread of the comic. I hope that'll be the pace in the future weekends. Colouring follows later, right now I'm really interested in the drawing. :D

Miikka here, hi!
I've been drafting concepts for a 30-40 page long (... yeah, it's that vague) comic project, which I'm hoping to put up on Indiegogo to try and gather a crowdfunding. The goal will be modest and I'm trying to pinch the price of these books down as low as I can, those details won't solidify until later however. Putting that...

Fjording spam! Meet Ellie! She's the dam of my future fjording foal.
This has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid, but I'm finally in a position where I can make it a reality. So I started doing research on Fjord breeders in the UK, and discovered the Dunkird herd through a friend of mine!
