HEY GUYS!

Here's a very special sketch for my dear Patron, Maddie M! <3
Maddie was the first person to correctly guess the town + country I just moved to - and the prize was a No North sketch with a dedicatory! 

I looooved Maddie's idea. Chef Steban managing to set everything on fire while cooking! xD you can guess I had a LOT of fun drawing this! 

It's been a bit over a week since got to Cascais. Thank you all who wished me good luck on my move and shared s...

How was your week??

It's page day, once agaain! Friday, the best day of the week!

And looks like someone's diving right into the weekend!

Poor Martin's just not build for these crazy long walks. Steban can go for a long time without drinking water, but not our boy Martin! xD

Working on these backgrounds felt so refreshing! 

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this page! It's thanks to all of you that this comic is becoming a reali...

Moving!

EY GUYS!

Howdy?? <3

I have some big personal news, hehe. 

I'm moving to another country tomorrow! And of course, my dear Huron is coming with me! 

I've been planning for this move for years - I was supposed to go before the pandemic started, but you know how that went (plus getting a visa was a whole mess and a journey of its own). 

I should have the "right" to an European passport because of my Italian descent, but when my family arriv...

Oh boy, was that a close call! xD poor cougar now has a headache on top of being lunch-less!

If you guessed that Steban knows exactly what that was, you guessed right! xD

I would really love to hear your thoughts on this one, it was soooo much fun to work on!

Thank you all for being here, for supporting and reading No North! Words cannot express how much this means to me and to everyone involved in the production! View Post

It feels awesome to be drawing a few different animals this issue! That cougar seems pretty set on his lunch. But fear not - Steban can smell danger.

How have you all been??

Dear Delilah is the definition of feeling trapped. Although she's still trying her best to make this situation work. 

I really loved working on this silent page, the beauty of the garden and the sadness hidden behind every stone wall and tree.

A HUGE shoutout and thank you to my dear brother @kryatlicious for his fantastic work on the mansion's 3D model and renders!

How have you all been??

We're back to our dysfunctional couple. So many words were left unsaid.

Baltazar does have a way to inspire fear in one's heart, and sometimes he knows just the way to crush hopes - it's circumstantial, it's not his fault. He's just trying to keep her safe, right?

I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on this page!!

Once more, @kryatlicious outdid himself with this FANTASTIC mansion model and renders! He's the most epic...

HEY GUYS! HOWDY???

It's paaaage daaaay ~

And oof, Baltazar is definitely extending his dark wings over Delilah's existence. He's terribly afraid of not being in control, and what a better way to ensure that than trough the spreading of fear?

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this page!!! It was great to work on this one, especially because of the light/shadow dynamic.

I'm pretty active today, eh? xD But I promise I'm here for a good reason, hehe! I wanted a more significant way to thank you guys for your support and this thought came across my mind!

Have you ever wanted your character to appear in No North?

I'm opening 3 slots for background character cameos for pages 161 - 164 of the comic (and maybe more!)

This is an opportunity to all of my Patrons!

We're right back to Delilah and Baltazar's turbulent relationship. Delilah's idea of their life together was... pretty different from that.

I'm reaaally excited to hear your thoughts on this page!! <3

How have you all been??

So Billy and Chase are out with a bit of a mission here... I wonder what they'll be up to!

Billy is giving Chase some serious side eye. He never shared this information about them going after the compass with him, only now directly to Baltazar. And looks like Delilah is pretty lost in their talk, too! xD

And for the 126th time... It's page day.

What a historical page day at that! After 4 years, I finally had the chance of drawing this scene on the comic: Baltazar's official introduction into the story.

I really love how thrilling it felt to work on this one. Baltazar is one of the main characters of the comic, and he truly pull...
