Hot topic toivo

Do you ever think “what if my character worked at hot topic circa 2007?” and then draw it? ...no? No one does this?


Well. I did it. And I also drew Aidan as a Claire’s general manager. They work in the same mall.

I’m taking a short break on updating the comic until after the holiday season is over, so in the meantime I made a little illustration to say thanks for reading my comic! :)

Toivo's only half elf, but he also will live for an extremely long time. He and Aidan are about the same age.

(fun fact: toivo is 69 years old)

Wizard man toivo

I started this during October when I was still trying to do Inktober. I wasn’t able to complete Inktober, but I still wanted to finish a bunch of my drawings. This is one of them.

With this one I tried something a little different. I decided to take a refillable water brush and make an ink wash inside of it. I haven’t done ink washes before really, but I’ve always wanted to try. This was my first sort of exploration into it.

Chapter 3.10

Again, sorry for the late page!! I'm still trying to catch up after a rough October, and I've got a convention this weekend.

NO SPOILERS, but Toivo did not kill any of his exes!! I just thought that might be confusing until the next page is posted.

V O I D

This piece is related to Ingress Adventuring Company. The magic system in the comic uses symbols to help create magic in the world, and each symbol corresponds to an element or concept. But each of the major symbols also connect to a god in the world.

This is the god of void (who is currently nameless).

This page went up earlier today on the main site, but I thought since I've posted every other page here, I should do the same for this one.

New comic covers!

I decided to redo the covers of my comic while reprinting them since the last versions definitely were lacking interest. (The last versions were essentially just the chapter covers that you can see on the comic site.) these ones ALSO feature one very important thing I forgot on the last covers... my name. Whoops.


I should have these new covers at Daisho Con this year! (And the rest of the old covers too.)

What would you like to see?

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'd like to extend my thanks to you guys for your patience. I've been having a ROUGH month, so all my personal projects, and even work projects, have been put on hold for a few weeks. I'm getting out of the woods, though, so expect to see some updates from me soon.

On that note, I'd love to hear from you guys! If you can answer a few questions for me, I'd love to hear your feedback.

What sort of content would you like to see from me?

Chapter 2 - Cover redraw

I've never been especially happy with the cover for chapter 2, so I've decided to redraw and redesign it. I've also decided to redo the first book cover as well, but the second chapter cover was a little more pressing.

Here's a preview of the next chapter cover, just the inks for now.
