GOATS

I love them.

Dad

Jaihko and Ida's dad. I've not really discussed him much since he wasn't meant to make an appearance in the comic for a veerryy long time. But there's a few things I've managed to weave in with Ida being older now, meaning he can appear sooner.

And he's cool. He's a Taelic sea witch and thanks to him, Ida worships the skygod Soot and Jaihko distrusts them in turn. He's taught his children how to man his small cargo boat that he sails between the shores of Fjoldi and Tael. Along with the...

Gra hoss

More of Gra! I figured he'd be able to turn into a normal horse to hide away.

Trying to do these in order. Horna is a demigod, he's hid himself away and spent a hundred years just napping away.

Anna and Georgie

And little Jaihko and Ida. And their dad's boat.

I've been studying boats. :') Just for this comic. Argh.

Rigging is awful lol.

Wickerman

I've been redesigning Jack's shaman gear. There's an idea I had for the twin witches since they don't really fall under Fjoldi or the shaman of the tribe, so I wanted them to follow their father's side of the family a bit more.. So, witches of sort.

The horns you might recognise from somewhere else.. c:

Blacksmith's tearoom

Really sketchy but these guys are fun to just scribble about.

Ethereal Blacksmith

I've had such a difficult time finding time for my own art. :') I really love doing stuff for other people but it's so hard to not be able to share it whilst its in the process of being made.

Winter - 2022

This is the last comic I ever made for SSE. I REALLY wish things were different. It would've been so nice to be able to continue doing stuff for them.

And no, I don't know where I'm going anymore. :( I hope someone else is confident with where this road leads. And that it's at least a safe one. ;_;

Deities

I've posted about these two in the past, but not really said much else about them.

Two deities for Jaro. Blacksmith and her client.

Small animals

I mean, they are. :'D They're not that different in size as adults either. The twins in their favourite animal forms, but make them kittens and chicks.

More secrets :')

Hello everyone!

I want to apologise for the lack of updates recently, I've been fighting with depression and at the same time trying to continue working on commissions.

I've currently got 2 projects that I'm waiting to confirm more on before I can discuss them, but neither has anything to do with SSE. :(

Star Stable has finally made it clear they do not intend to continue working with me or Helena, so there won't be any more comics or books from us within the franchise. I'm ...

Tistow - two headed raven and tall stones

You might recognise a portion of the page! I'm reusing the style and graphics from the older comic that was showcased a while back, much like I've been doing with Tistow. This is purely to save on time and I still really like what I made back then. 

This whole thing goes alongside a list of changes that were made to restart the story, one of them being Ida, Jaihko's sister. Instead of being a fair bit of younger than Jack, they're now twins. I made the decision to match their age b...
