Hello my gemlins!!
A quick life sign from me with some Shallow Sleep art I haven't shared in full with you yet! You may have already seen it on Webtoon/Tapas when I created the series, just to make sure it's already there for people to subscribe to ^^)
I'm still fixing some things in the...

Hello my gemlins~!
I downloaded even more brushes today and wanted to test some of them XD This is the result~
I know people miss Emma quite a bit, some readers were asking about her in the finale ;;;; Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to include her in it but she's not been forgotten of course. We will see her again :3
For some reason I really associate her with summer and autumn a lot, so despite April not even being over yet, I drew her in this very summer-y motif, heh...

Hello my gemlins~
In a few hours the final #MUTED pages will go up on Webtoon/Tapas O _O) Then the journey really is over. Well, kinda. As I said before, I will not abandon the boys fully, turns out after spending a few weeks with Charon and Leo, I already kinda missed them and had to draw them again, haha.
I hope you like~~~
Attached is the full-size version, I recommend downloading and looking at it, I really like Jasper's teeth for some reason LOL

it's 1am and I'm super tired, so I'll try to finish it in the next few days and post the full res version for you soon 💜💜💜

A little Kai doodle for you that I drew today, drawing his hair always brings me so much joy 😌

Hello my gemlins~ 💜
It is time for me to return to the desk in full swing!
Over the next few weeks I want to share some illustrations (+other work) I've done this year that I haven't posted anywhere yet, because I'm good at making things, but really bad at sharing them 😂 I'll talk a bit about some thoughts regarding Shallow Sleep and other stuff in those posts too, so I hope you're looking forward to potential walls of text full of ramblings with some nice artwork atta...

Hello my gemlins~
I return from my break ^^); with this piece of Jasper and Kai, I feel like it represents their entire beings and relationship very well, haha.
I'll talk more about upcoming plans in the next post, for today, I just wanted to check in with you all, how have you all been while I was away? 👀💜
Hello my gemlins,
first of all, thank you all for your sweet comments and messages about the #MUTED finale, I read them all, it was just too many to reply to, but please know I'm grateful for all of you~ Thank you. 💜
I kinda tried to take last week off, my plan was to get to work again this week, but turns out I feel exactly 0% rested, haha. The last few months have just been A Lot and there's still always old and new things piling up and I'm just very permanen...

And thus, things are coming full circle, back to where Jasper and Kai stood face to face for the very first time so long ago, just much closer now in the present. 💜

It's been a long journey, one I never expected to happen like this.... as I've told you before, in 2017 #MUTED was intended to be a maximum 70 pages oneshot to test the webcomic waters. I had experience doing fan comics but I didn't know how I'd fare with original stories, so this one ...

HELLO my gemlins!!
I can't keep up with the passing of time lately, how is February almost over already? T _T) I'm really sorry for the lack of posts this month .... I will make up for it on Tuesday, with a DOUBLE #MUTED UPDATE!
The whole finale in one go, all 13 pages~
Initially it was supposed to be 2 separate episodes but I think it reads nicer all at once, my partner fanta certainly seemed to think so, too! And the pages ar...
Hello my gemlins, just a small sign of life from me!
I'm working on more comic pages behind the scenes, also took some time to rest and do stuff around the house and felt a little unsocial, which is why i haven't really been around, not on discord, not really on here etc ;;;; i'll do my best to be more social again soon (and reply to DMs!!!) , i just kinda needed a few hermit crab days.
i hope you enjoy the little picture of the boys tho! it's not as random as it looks, i made it ...

Hello my gemlins!
Here's a preview for the upcoming ep for you!!
I apologise for the silence on here, I underestimated how long packing orders would actually take me @ _ @)))) I just printed the last few shipping labels a minute ago and the very last batch of orders will get picked up on Tuesday, woo! 🥳
Everyone should have gotten a tracking number via email already, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to DM me or send an email!
I legit spent 24 days p...
As I've mentioned before, this is more like a transition into the finale, so it's short and kinda anticlimactic, but it features a cute plant, an even cuter Emma and a full page of handsome Jasper, so I hope you still enjoy it 💜
The final episodes are gonna be bangers, I inked 10 pages of it already and I love how they're turning out a lot 😭
2022-01-18 21:31:14 +0000 UTC View Post
I took a day off from packing yesterday and spent the whole day working on #MUTED pages instead, in order to not fully fall behind!!
The pages for the upcoming update are done, I also sketched and inked 7 pages of the episode after that, I Am On A Roll and I actually quite like how the inked panels look so far ; _;)
Very happy with my progress, now I can rest in peace for the night and get pack to packing more orders tomorrow~ 💜

Hello my gemlins~!
I've been packing orders nonstop ever since the books arrived last week and haven't touched Clip Studio ever since 😵 Up until last night 💞
I don't like taking breaks from drawing for too long, I always feel like I'm forgetting how it all works, so I took a few hours before bed to draw Charon. It was meant to be just a quick doodle to calm my urge to draw but in the end I finished it and like the result enough to share it with you!
I gave Charo...

How has everyone's 2022 been so far? 👀
I took 3 full days off in a row which hasn't happened in a looong time and tbh I still feel like I could use a few more days XD Since I started working again on Monday I've felt perpetually tired, to the point that I went to bed at 9pm yesterday like a real old person O _O) I am now awake at 5am the next day, still tired, but a bit more rested at least............

Hello my gemlins~!
To wrap up the year I want to show you some of the doodles and sketches I've done since I posted the last sketch collection in April 💜
In 2021 I definitely didn't have as much time as I used to to just doodle and practise, most of what you can see in these images is from November-December 💦
One of my main goals for 2022 is to find a way to streamline my work process more, workload is getting out of hand, both job- and household-wise XD

Happy Holidays, my gemlins~!
My gift to all of you is this illustration I've been working on for the past two days, as well as the full size image attached below for EVERYONE!
Jasper is enjoying some Glühwein to-go (mulled wine), Kai has some Kräppelchen (kind of similar to donuts, just smaller and a bit more crispy??) with powdered sugar, as well as one of those gingerbread hearts you can get at every German fair (possibly also a thing in other countries? I'm not sure), that ...
💜💜💜
Some trivia: Her name is Dela! At first I had no plans of ever giving her either a name or a face, because I figured she wouldn't be relevant enough to the story for that. However, as I was writing the script for this scene... suddenly not making her an actual person felt bad and wrong, Dela might not have been an active part of the story we've been following for over four years, but she played a big role in Kai's life back then that we've only gotten glimpses of.

I don't remember whether or not I've shared all these before, so I'm doing it now! I'll happily show my embarrassing beginnings to my dear gemlins ahaha 💦 Apparently I never did a summary for 2019, at least I couldn't find a file, so that's the only year that's missing since 2010 ' _')
About this year: 2021 was pretty awesome in regards to my work, as a whole package this year was probably my most successful yet since I started the full-time comic creator journey. A Clip Studio Paint...

Hello my gemlins! 💜
It's been a while since my last post, I was neck-deep in Shallow Sleep pre-production mode and I want to share some of it with you!
Some of you may remember when I started Shallow Sleep back in 2018, for a Webtoon contest! I said that I'd be restarting this comic once #MUTED is done, and since that...

Hello dearies!! You may have heard that #MUTED is nominated for the 2021 Canvas Awards and you can now vote for your fave in each category until December 12th!
I would really, really appreciate if you decided to give your vote to me in the romance category ; o;) 💜 The competition is strong and very good but I wanna at least give it my best shot this time!

How is it already December 4th, someone please explain ;;;;;;;
I'm currently waiting for yet another test print of #MUTED volume 01+02 because I made some edits and was too nervous to order hundreds of books without getting another proof first, I don't trust printing companies haha;;; But apparently they're all really busy before the holidays and there's a paper shortage too - _-) Which is a bit worrying ......

Hello my gemlins~! 💜
I've been quiet here but behind the scenes I've been working hard! Not only am I making very good progress with #MUTED pages, but I've also been doodling more again outside of just strictly work, which, let's be honest, I haven't really done all year, with minor exceptions.
I haven't felt this very, very strong urge to just spend all day drawing in so long and I'm happy I'm still able to feel this way ; _;) I didn't know how much I missed feeling like this....
