Race

YEHOO GUYS!

Here's for day 24, Race!

Did you know Faye has a younger sister? I'm not sure if I've ever posted anything about her here, but if not, meet Alice Runner!

Alice is the local journalist, always on the lookout for the truth! She plays a bit of a detective role along with her big sis, who she gets along very well with. She's also the one who makes the wanted/missing posters around Oddwind!

Your comments mean a lot to me and I love hearing what you think about t...

HOWDY, FOLKS? <3

AHA! I bet you thought she wasn't going to show up, eh?

I love drawing her so much. But I'm keeping the mystery for now. What could she be up to? 

Having some fun with a more sketchy/painterly style! I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this! 

You guys are the best. Thank you for all of your support and for being part of the No North family! 

I hope you have an epic day ahead, don't forget to check out the other awesome entries...

Song

HEY GUUUYS!

How have you been?? 

Here's day 22 for you, Song! 

I was so excited to share this one, since it's a short comic!

You're getting a LOT of Ender's era content during this No Northvember, eh? xD

There's so much to be told, and sharing these bits with you is a good way to make sure I can include everything, one way or another xD

As you guys probably already know, Steban was sort of a big brother/father figure to Marsha during that time. Sh...

Lantern

A short animatic for this day - cause there must be at least one each No Northvember! xD 

"Lantern" features the Old Ghost of the Woods, back when he was a young lad and had seen more than his fair share. He was there when it all went down, but so many questions remain unanswered. The mystery of Oddwind, the disappearances, and so many stories left untold. The Old Ghost carries the light into the dark valley with a heavy heart. What could he be looking for?  

I deeply ap...

Coward

HEYLO AGAIN GUYS!

Here's for day 20 of No Northvember, Coward!

Steban struggles a lot with this feeling, especially after some strong self-disappointments he has had in the past (which of course, you'll find out about in the comic!). He carries this label with him, coming especially from some dogs in Oddwind. 

Being both a pacifist and an escapist made running away a natural response to when things get too extreme or when he feels he messed up. He just feels like disapp...

Bonfire

EEY GUYS!

Prepare to get spammed again, haha!

how have you all been??

Here's one for #nonorthvember day 19 - Bonfire!

This was a quick one, since I've been rushing with a few personal issues, but I still hope you enjoy!

Just Hank, out in the desert on a solo mission, pondering about his life and the hard choices he's about to make. I'm excited for his appearance in the comic, since he's quite the wild card!

I would loove to hear your thoughts on this!

EEY GUYS! HOWDY?

Here's today's spam art - a bit late, since I've had a few unexpected issues to take care of since yesterday @-@

Today's a bit of a classic, but I can't get over the feeling I get whenever I have the chance to contemplate a mountain range (which were few, but precious!). Our lives are but a moment to those giants of stone, ice and green. That sudden perception of our own scale is nothing short of sublime, and it never failed to leave me stunned. It's divine. ...

Burden

HEYYY GUYS!

Here's today's spam art! xD

For day 17 of #Nonorthvember, Burden!

I thought Baltazar truly fit this prompt. He carries his family's heavy legacy on his shoulders, and his whole destiny had been written before he was even born. He follows his own rules rigorously, usually acting indifferent about his own feelings.

The fact that he lost his parents at a young age have contributed to his wish to maintain their legacy alive, since he was their only pup. But som...

Secret

EEY GUYS!

One more, cause It's Billy appreciation day! (apparently) πŸ˜‚

Maybe it's his birthday? Who knows, It just might be! HAHA

Here's for day 16, Secret! πŸ‘€ 

Billy is very secretive about his absolute favourite hobby - knitting and sewing!
Baltazar is the only one who knows about it, and he's mortified of other dogs finding out.

But someone might have witnessed more than he should!
Steban is actually very impressed by Billy's skills πŸ˜‚

Jealous

HEEY GUYS!

I hope you're all doing great today!

For this day I decided to draw a character who's been plagued with this feeling for a long time. Our Billy boy!

This period of his life was a hard one. To him, it was when the good life he had built for himself changed for the worse. And that change had a name.

I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on this one, your comments mean a LOT to me!!

I hope you all have an EPIC day! Please don't forget to check the...

Vacation

EEY GUYYYS <3

Today was one of my favorite days, I had soooo much fun painting this!! Steban, Martin, Danny and Sherry are enjoying a sunny vacation by the Gold Marrow river (yes, the name of the river that goes through Oddwind is a reference to Up and Ahead!)

Don't worry, adults are present - Faye was supposed to be somewhere in the shade watching over the 4 kids, but I thought the composition looked better like this xD 

I would LOOVE to hear your thoughts on this o...

How have you been? I hope you had an awesome Saturday! 

Here I am, back to spamming you with art xD please let me know if it's too much!

Day 13 of #nonorthvember, Promise

Promises are worse than lies. You don't just make them believe, you also make them hope.  

A quote I found by Marilyn Monroe which I believe suits this moment.

Yes, we're back to the old days! Back when things were sunnier in Oddwind, when Mars...

Today is day 3 of #Nonorthvember, Outsider!

And this is how Steban arrived in Oddwind for the first time. What do you think? Does he look like he's from aroun' here? πŸ˜‚

Something about that clueless smile would really set Billy off!
