Not a canon interaction, since I doubt Esa would be brave enough to try this, but...

I find it funny that Murmeli chose a form that just happens to hate water just as much as he does. :'D

Based on an old doodle, that I HAD to redraw and share.

Esa sprays water at cat on top of the table. The cat hisses back. Esa: No! Bad book! SFX: TSHH Murmeli: HISSS!!!

Drew this to celebrate the finale of the first book for "Book of Change".

It feels bit odd to have one HUGE step completed but OH SO MUCH on my todo list. :'D

Artist lies on top of a desk happy, but exhausted. Next to her, there's an annoyed old book with golden spine and a deadpan guy with round glasses. The guy is resting his half-wing arm on the back of the artist's chair. Artist: It is done! Esa: Great. What about the website? Murmeli: And the other books? Artist: Just... give me a second...

I hope you had the pleasure of finding this delight on your supermarket shelf in 1968! If the name wasn't stoner-coded enough, the bottom of the box read, "This might be the bottom of the box. To find out, open the top and turn the box upside down. If the Zonkers fall out, this is the bottom." 😵‍💫
A boc of Screaming Yellow Zonkers, a butter glazed popcorn snack. It's a black box with the name in big blue, yellow, and red letters. There's a picture of popcorn with a comic-book style speech bubble reading EAT!

My brain has been in full coding mode lately. Been trying to set up the new website for "Book of Change" as soon as possible.

Coding at work and free time is quite tiring. (Hence why I procrastinated building a site until now...)

Seems a firm deadline is EXTREMELY motivating. :"D

Comic Character Design - BAD DECISION BINGO

Taking a break from coding a website, because this bingo seemed fun to try.

Managed to avoid getting a bingo this time... barely! :'D

(Sorry for tiny characters and impossible to read text.)

@golda.bsky.social also what cause the discourses was a sonic blade of courage fan who wrote “read boc” and only show off 5 page from the comic and it was all out of context

Helsinki Comics Festival next weekend!

Because of clever planning (a.k.a procrastination), no books (yet), but I'll take some sticker re-prints with me.

I shouldn't hand out stickers for free this time (print costs), but if you manage spot me, feel free to say hi!

While @gritrook.art was visiting during the summer, we went through my old sketches... and found some gems!

Behold! Very early proto-Murmeli from before "Book of Change" was a thing!

It is fun to see the art (and character) evolution here!

[ #boc-comic #sketch #characterdesign #oldart #webcomic ]
Compilation of really old Murmeli sketches from my teens. Most scribbled on back of worksheets and random pieces of paper. The essence of the character is there, even if most of these are VERY different to his modern design. Also you can clearly see the art evolution here as I was trying to push my style. First drawings where Murmeli is starting to look more like his modern self. He still didn't have a story yet, so he kept doing cameos in dreams and random what-if scenarios. Sketches of Murmeli for an OCT ref sheet. This iteration had a lot of small details that I decided to drop from his BoC version. Also say hello to Jen's hand! A panel from an OCT comic. Participating in the competition gave me a lot of practice drawing Murmeli. It also taught me that maybe I had the patience to do comics after all...

Huh... That's quite a lot of new subs. I wonder what- Aaaaaa!!?!

With asymmetrical characters, swap mishaps are bound to happen - one sneaked up on me on a panel with mirrors involved.

Would anyone have noticed? Unlikely.
Would I have been bothered? Absolutely!

“A truly fine tailor does not rely on his tools to measure his lord…” 🐺📏💦
NSFW WARNING: A cropped image from a 1-page comic featuring a random wolf warrior and Boc from Elden Ring. The teaser shows the wolf sporting nothing but a pouch to store his genitals, stitched from radiant gold. The creation of this garment was a bit unorthodox, however… Wolf: “This is lovely, but… Will there be more to this garment?”

YES. Official acknowledgment from Warp re: new Boards of Canada release. For my comic friends who aren’t aware of BOC, an all time favorite of mine, first album in 13 years. Really needed this right now.

Yeah, I can't really manage to draw comics much anymore unless they're really short and someone's paying me. Comic flatting takes me forever compared to what it used to as well. ;A; Somehow I was able to draw an illustration a week back when I was updating BoC but I had a financial cushion then.

I need to go to sleep now but please read Book of CoL!

It is a novel WITH ART not a comic (though I am working on a BoC related comic to enter a contest)
neilak20.bsky.social Sarah "Neila" Elkins @neilak20.bsky.social · Jul 30
In a world where the culprit could be anyone or anything what kind of detective do you turn to?

Book of CoL is a thrilling mystery about an asexual genderfluid detective with shapeshifting powers!

https://tapas.io/series/Book-of-CoL/info

#Novel #Writing #BookOfCoL #BodyHorror #Queer #art #meatbox
Two figures wearing suits look up at the camera. The person on the left has on a messy brown suit and tie, his hair also a mess. The person next to him wears a blue-sh black suit and tie. Their hair is lighter brown and skin more pale. A mass of things, mechanical and biological grow from their left arm, including but not limited to: an alligator head, dragon wing, motorcycle engine block, ceiling support beams, giant coconut crab legs and body, kitchen sink, brick wall, multiple chainsaws, bird wing, wolf head, jet engine, another human arm and torso, and a cube that's wearing the same suit and tie as the rest of that figure. A human ear is visible on the meatcube. Text reads "Book of CoL: The Ember Child." Curved and warped perspective of the exterior of a massive apartment complex. People, who do not entirely look human such as a Minotaur and an elf, watch as a pair of movers help Page Simmons carry boxes marked 'Scythian.' The minotaur has a barbecue pit on his balcony. The Elf has a number of potted plants. A sign on the building reads "Little Asgard Heights" below the design of tree with an intricate knot instead of branches. The movers look concerned. Page carries three boxes while each movie carries one. Page is a white person with light colored hair that's shaved on the back and sides but long on the top. They've also got a noticeable scar on their left bicep, that's visible under the cuff of their T-shirt sleeve. Two panels. The top panel features a giant skeleton knight, Thunderskull, wearing loose dark fabric, gloves, and armor. He has a skull head with a pair of short pointed horns emerging from the top of his cranium. Flames burn from his empty eye sockets. His left hand is in the air, crushing a solo style cup full of beer very messily. Page Simmons laughs in the foreground. Second Panel: A shorter figure, wearing the same armor, is collapsed on the ground clutching a visibly shattered arm and hand. He is a young latino man in his 20s, with brown skin and fluffy dark hair. He is also horrified. Page squats down next to Thunderskull, pointing at his injured arm. The solo style cup is on the floor as is a mess of liquid from the beer. In the background of this panel sits a dresser with a retro sound system on it. The toilet tissue aisle of a grocery store. Page Simmons stands, holding a small hand basket and a four pack of toilet paper. They wear a t-shirt that reads "Book of Secrets" and light colored jeans with tennis shoes. A long forked tail curls around them and leads to a nearly seven foot tall figure who excitedly points at something off camera. This is Eterna. She is very tall and also very curvy. She has on a dark long sleeve shirt with ruffled collar, a tight short skirt, and tall boots that come up just past her knees. Her ears are incredibly long and pointed. Her hair is dark, curly, and short. She has a pair of long curved horns that emerge from the top of her head and sweep back then up. She is bubbly and happy, excited to show her new neighbor around.

It has been a couple years since I drew a comic. ^_^; and that book hasn't come out yet. When it does I will promote the hell out of it, though. And i am looking for flatting work. But Book of CoL and Psychic Underground are novels. BoC does have illustrations, though. So I understand the confusion

Ayy, happy 3 years of Elden Ring! 🤩

QT with your Elden Ring art!
A drawing of Blaidd, from the game Elden Ring. He is a half-wolf, surrounded by a white fog and is wearing dark armor with a fur cloak draped over him. His eyes are glowing red as he howls into the night, a full moon shining brightly in the background. A drawing of Nil (original character) as a Tarnished Vagabond wearing silver armor, a red and gold hooded scarf, and dark red tunic with fur trim. She looks a bit battered from a fight and is petting her best friend and spectral steed, Torrent. A demi-human from Elden Ring, Boc the Seamster, admiring a golden sewing needle gifted to him. His expression is one of shocked amazement. There is a black speech bubble above him with just “?!” A single frame Elden Ring comic featuring Blaidd the half wolf and the Tarnished (Nil) chatting before the Radahn Festival. Above each in connecting bubbles they are saying the following: Tarnished: Sorry I'm late, I was killing a dragon. Blaidd: ALONE?! You could have died. Tarnished: Oh I did... Like 57 times. Blaidd: WTF?

Getting close-ish to one of my favorite comic runs of all time: the David Kraft years.

Defenders 50 (with Giffen, RIP) is just an epic combination of funny and dramatic and action-filled and sad and everything.

Also Xenogenesis is the best BOC tribute.

But these are good too. :-) Great series.
