Something wicked this way comes~ which is my very long overdue Dark Elf Esteem piece I've been promising for a year or something;;;;; but he's coming! Again I gave all my love to Shura, leaving poor Maelener on the wayside (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠) one day I must draw him too… I'm sorry Maelener… Shura is my male witch elf who came to me in a dream with Maelener all those years ago UwU

And thus, the 4th chapter comes to an end! Maive sure is excited as hell 😄 It's taken me forever to finish this chapter for which I am sorry, and i'll keep trying to get you pages as quickly as I can from now on! Maive at least feels the pressure of time, or sanity, or maybe even their ability to stay intact, running out… The screw turns ever tighter! Read it in the usual places aka. Tapas and Webtoons

IF you want to read the chapter from the beginning start here!

Thank you to everyone who came to see our table in Tampere kuplii too! I had a great time, and I hope everyone did too despite the queueing madness :'> OH yeah, and the popularity poll is open and will be open until the end of April!

There's a little prize you can win if you vote, and only if you want to participate in the raffle so you can do either way :3

Whew, I'm slowly getting back on track with my updates, I hope! So here's another page where Adal remembers things and there's a lot of running xD

Read it in Tapas or Webtoons

In case anyone reading this is in Finland, I will remind you that I will be in Tampere kuplii with my friends @Kaarinart & Chika selling our comics and things 29.-30.3.! Hope to see you there 😄 The event is Free entry and we will be in the Trade hall UwU I will also be speaking about ElfQuest on a panel on Saturday 😄 Yay for elves!

I will put up the popularity poll before that too so look forward to that also 😄

I'm sorry the page is late! I've had a lot of trouble starting with my darling cat getting sick and now my own health isn't the best x0 So, pages might come a bit slower for a a bit, for which I am sorry, but there's just a lot going on…. We're almost at the end of 4th chapter too, finally x'0 I also love the fact that we haver a recurring character from devil knows how many years ago? 4? Who remembers them? xD

Anyway, read for yourself in Tapas and Webtoons :>

I just wanted to thank everyone who joined in on #Elfbruary and made our internet just a bit more pointy eared!

I fell from the wagon towards the end of the month, because my darling 19-year-old cat got sick (he's feeling a bit better now luckily ;;w;;), so I probably missed a few posts here and there! I'm sorry for that, BUT let's do this again next year, everyone! Thank you again UwU

ps. super old art up there, from 2014 ;;;;;;

I'm sorry I kind of vanished in the middle of Elfbruary for which I had really grand plans... Homer got really sick last week and we've been focusing all our energy on him ever since. Luckily he is feeling a bit better already, but we're not out of these woods yet, but hopefully at some point. Homer is also already 19 years old, so it was inevitable that something would happen to him at some point.

Anyway, I will be posting less regularly from now on quite probably and be less online all in all to focus on my darling cat who is probably the most important thing in my life :"D but I'll keep working on all my stuff slowly.

I probably won't have a lot of new stuff for Tampere kuplii, I just hope you can forgive me x'( If you read this far, I will also mention I do have a Kofi account if anyone feels like it, you can support us paying Homer's veterinary bills, I will definitely be grateful, but no pressure at all.

Today on #elfbruary it's Valentine's day! So it's time to share some extra love for elves. Or in this case, the dearest elf in your life~

I had to draw my boys again~ Besu and Vio are just so damn cute together.

It's funny I keep posting this kind of pics of Besu the most, although for him, this blushing openly in love side of him is what he doesn't share with others. Well. He doesn't need to as I will hahah! Only spoilers, no secrets allowed!

Today on #elfbruary I was challenged to draw with my left hand. At first, it felt horrible. I couldn't even hold the pen comfortably. All my lines and shapes were wobbly. But a bit by bit, sticking to it, it got easier.

2 hours of doodling I got to a place where it kinda looked like what I normally do.

The process felt long and tedious though. But when I finally finished this, I wanted to do more. I couldn't stop here. So I decided to draw another piece with my non-dominant hand.

This one took 3 hours, and even if someone asked me, I would just think this was made with ny normal right hand. But no. I used my left one. It just took a bit longer, I had to use undo more than usual, and I couldn't make smooth long lines like I'm used to. Instead I had to make the lines in shorter pieces and erase and fix more than I usually do.

But hey, I guess today I learned how to draw with my left hand! I did not have this in my to do lists, not in my new year's goals or even in my dreams. I didn't know it would be possible to draw with both hands hahah!
