No Paper Doll Veronika this week, busy with Bears

 

I am very busy at present, and was unable to prepare a Paper Doll Veronika update for this week. This is because Bovodar and the Bears goes up every Sunday on Arktoons, and I have to keep up the pace. Especially since I'm going on a trip in June and won't be able to do the coloring while I'm away, and probably won't have time to do much of the sketching and inking either, so I need to prepare enough pages before I go to cover the updates while I'm gone. 

I also won't be able to work on Paper Doll Veronika while I'm gone, but I haven't yet determined if there will be more of it before I go or if it will have to go on hiatus until I return. I would prefer not to take such a long break, but I'll have to see how things shake out. Thank you very much for your patience and for reading!

April/May 2021

 

I have a series of Ace Attorney drawings depicting events on significant dates, usually holidays, which I mostly also tried to do in the year they occur, based on the only year revealed in the games: 2001 for the death of Gregory Edgeworth. From that, you can extrapolate the rest.

Thus you can also extrapolate the years in which Professor Layton events occur, based on the fact that the crossover is between Trials and Tribulations and the Magnifi Gramarye case on the Ace Attorney side, and Diabolical Box and Unwound Future on the Professor Layton side.

Thereby, we know that Katrielle is born this year, 2021, in April or May since she is a Taurus. It is very fitting that Taurus time is always mostly within the Easter season.

Bovodar and the Bears - Episode 3

  

Bovodar and the Bears Episode 3 - "This is Our Home!" is now on Arktoons! Read it here.

Paper Doll Veronika update

 

Paper Doll Veronika has updated; Chapter 8 of Part II, "Slip into the Pit", is posted!
The chapter begins here.
The part begins here.
The story begins here.

It updates every Friday (occasionally Saturday). I recommend using the "Save your place" gadget, even once you catch up, because the site starts at the beginning and updates are several pages.

Veronika Bosch, who's never left her father's estate, has to go on a journey when envious animals kick her out. Half collage, half puppetry, it's the traditional media equivalent of an elaborate sprite comic.

Bovodar and the Bears - Episode 2

 

Episode 2 of Bovodar and the Bears is now up on Arktoons! Read it here!

Since the pages making up Episode 1 were previously made available as a preview, this is the first time you get to read all-new continuation of the story! Please enjoy it!

Non-professional pysanky

 

While it's still the Easter season, here's the pysanka I did this year.

I considered no longer posting them here because I thought to restrict this blog to kinds of art I can do at a professional level, but that's kind of needlessly fuddy-duddy overthinking, plus there's a "pysanky" label, so might as well!

Meeting at the Sacred Elm

 

First comic book cover for Bovodar and the Bears by Jack Mikkelson, now available to read here on Arkhaven Comics new site!

Arkhaven's plan is not to print individual issues, so this image might not get used as a cover, but that's okay. The more cool pictures of this story, the better! I very much hope you enjoy it!
