Old Friend

HEY GUYS!

Here's something a bit silly but nostalgic for you: do you remember Wolpy?

He was the protagonist of my very first Webcomic, called "Over the Mountains and Far Away". I never got to finish his story, but he's very much still a part of my heart!2025-06-11 12:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Here's a sketch I did on procreate! <3 I bring you a few updates regarding No North's production!

I've FINALLY finished restoring every single one of No North's 227 pages into the new comic's format and now I just got started with Shut Eye!

Shut Eye is No North's Chapter 0, so it must ...

Silver Lining - Page Test!

HEEEY GUYS!

Happy test page day!

I hope you're all doing super super well!

So here's a little test I've made kind of based on Matthieu Bonhomme's style, specifically on his version of the Lucky Luke's comics. I ended up going off track in the end, but kept the black lineart on both the characters and parts of the backg...

Delilah and Steban

HEY GUYS!

How have you all been??

Here are some expressions I drew for practice since this will be some of my biggest focus on Book 2. And Steban and Delilah are honestly one of my favorite things to draw, hehe. The last drawing was based on a scene from Disney's Robin Hood, between Robin and Maid Marian!

I'd LOVE to hear your ...

The Writing of No North

HEY GUUUUUUYS!

I hope you're doing amazing!

Here's something completely unusual that I thought I would never share, but now I think it'd be fun to see what you guys think!

So sometimes my brain will refuse to work in front of a blank script page. That's when I head to photoshop and have a blast with the scene I'm suppo...

Travelers

HEEEY GUYS!

I took a small break from restoring the pages and decided to paint something again - I missed that feeling SO MUCH! With all the AI crises going around one might feel irrelevant and even like it's pointless to pursuit art. But art is the truest expression of the human soul and something that will never be taken from us or repla...

HEY GUYS!

Howdy??

So here's something fun - No North Book 1's first cover version!

Maned Wolf Comic

HEY GUYS!

How have you all been??

Here's a little preview of a 3 paged comic I had been working on as a secret project! I still can't say much about it, but since I was working for a client this took me longer to finish than I expected!

I'm now back to working on No North's Deluxe edition! I'm having to resize, restore and re...
