Finally I can share this as the cover has been revealed! Here’s my new upcoming comic book Lyckobäraren: det magiska paketet, to be released early in January! This is book one out of three, I’m currently working on the second one 😄

This has been so exciting to work on and I can’t wait to hear what people think of it! Hopefully it can be translated to other languages in the future, but so far it’ll only be released in swedish.

I forgot to share this on tumblr, but this is super cool! I got second place in Swedens biggest comic contest (held by the biggest comic publisher in Sweden) which means that my comic might actually be published in the future!

This is such a cool thing, I’ve had this story idea for almost a decade so it’s such a cool thing that it might actually be published! So hopefully more about that later!

My first finished drawing of 2023! I thought my boi Niel here would look nice in gold jewellery so I just had to try and draw that, I think he looks great in it!

This year has been the year where I figured out that lizards are awesome!

-In January I got my first leopard gecko Paprika, she's just become an adult and she's super social and demands that I let her out of the terrarium every evening!

-In August I got Peppar, who's a japanese cave gecko. I was looking at this type of lizard before I got Paprika and I think they're just beautiful, so after getting some experience I decided to get her! She's just over a year old and is suuuper shy (therefor the bad photo), but she's the best hunter of all my lizards!

-In November I got my second leopard gecko Luna, she is the oldest of the bunch at 11 years old. Her former owner couldn't keep her and I was like "I already have two lizards, so might as well add a third one". Turns out I got a lizard with a lot of disabilities due to bad handling from her very first owner (I'm the third owner).

Luna has some special needs and can't hunt on her own but she's super sweet and curious, she'll always peek out her head if I talk to her!

-and lastly, yesterday I got my dream lizard! A Chinese cave gecko, this one is just the tiniest little baby and I think it might just be over a month old. It doesn't have a name yet and the only thing I know about it is that it's extremely bad at hiding and that it has a big appetite. For being a tiny baby it's actually quite brave and showing itself a lot! EDIT: baby lizard got a name! I named it Pepsi xD

Instead of doing inktober this year I got inspired by my friend to instead make a comic page every day of October instead. So I decided to make dumb comic strips of two of my oc’s, Niel and Kyle.

Here are the first seven pages, I will probably upload them in batches every week like this on tumblr, I post them daily on twitter!

I’m gonna join artfight this year for the first time, it sounds like a lot of fun! Here’s the link to my page: https://artfight.net/~Valerei How much I’ll draw will depend on how much hand(s) are willing to cooperate but I’ll try to at least draw something every day and my plan is to always draw something back if anyone draws any of my characters 😊 I don’t know if I’ll add more characters, I guess only time will tell lol
