To High-Five a Cactus

Hey guys!

How are you today?

Here's a quick one, but a true story. 

This little guy is called Boris and he lives in Steban's (Warren's) attic room. He's a strong and independent cactus who doesn't like it when dogs simply assume he needs friends. He might fool you into believing he wants to give you a high-five, but don't fall for it.

Thank goodness we have Steban to warn us against high-fiving a cactus. 

I hope you're all having an awesome day! Thank y...

Mischief

Hey guys!

Here's a little portrait I did of Skailla. I'm having fun giving her a few features "according to reality" and I'm slowly working on a sheet for her. Complete with Skailla lore!

She's an illusionist who got too caught up in her own disappearing tricks - and now fades in and out of reality without much control. She has a ghost form for those days, which will also be in her sheet, hehe

She can't actually become other animals (or things) like a shapeshifter would, but...

The Good Friend (No North Preview!)

HEY GUYS!

How are you today?

I'm sharing something exciting today - a preview from one of No North's page panels! 

Here's Leonor, owner of the café The Bohemian. She's a kind hearted Saint-Bernard with a lot of though love to share. I'm having fun drawing her parts!

You can officially see the small changes I did to the lineart and painting style since Shut Eye, to a more "traditional" style, like I told you about. 

I hope you guys enjoy this one. I alr...

The Mushroom and Her Trouble-Maker

Hey guys! 

How are you doing? <3

here's a little sketch dump for y'all - I wasn't planning on posting this, but I'm running out of content to post since I'm using every minute I have available to work on No North pages! 

But I figured Valentine's day is coming, so... why not? haha

I can't say if any of these relationships will be cannon, but I really adore drawing Delilah and Steban interacting! It'll be a lot of fun when they finally meet in the comic.&nb...

Charlie & Buster

Hey guys!

How are you today?

So here's a little easter egg from No North! And also a homage to two of my favorite creators and entertainers. 

I was 7-8 years old when I was first introduced to Charlie Chaplin's work. My mother bought us 4 of his movies and I would watch them non-stop. No need to say I became a huge fan of him, and he went on to influence so many of my own stories and characters. 

I have a special love for silent storytelling and how much emot...

Solomon and Rocco

Hey guys!

Here's a quick reference sheet I did for two No North characters, Solomon and his partner, Rocco. 

These are dangerous outlaws who are looking to up their game. 

Solomon is the leader of the duo, with a fiery temper and a strong will, and Rocco is a more cautious but aggressive type nonetheless.

If you were somehow reminded of these two  ...

Hero

Ey guys!

Howdy? <3

Here's a small concept art from last year I never got to share. 

This story will only be told much later in the comic, but Baltazar once saved a pup who had disappeared. It was a miracle, since no dog who goes missing is ever found again. Or at least, that's what the folks from Oddwind say... 

Have an epic week, y'all! Thank you so much for your support!

A (Functional) Car for Doggos

Hey guys!

How are you today? I hope you're having a great weekend!

So here's one more concept art for the world of No North - a somewhat functional car for them doggos. I didn't really like how there was a guy in Up and Ahead who used a donkey to pull his wagon. All animals are equally sentient in this world, so it's such a weird situation to be in, haha!

Without the help of other animals, doggos had to get inventive. You might spot one of these during the first pages of No ...

Fox and Owl

Hey guys! 

How have you all been? 

I've been working a lot on No North (feels like I'm dreaming, I can't believe I'm finally able to say this, haha!) so this was done during a small break during the weekend. I did this for a friend as a little joke/gift. 

I wished I could share parts of the pages, but I don't want to spoil anything! Maybe I'll share a few previews soon.... We'll see ;)

I hope you enjoy it! 

You guys are wonderful. Thank you fo...

The Long-Legged Fox

Hey guys!

How are you today?

Here's something I did while taking a break from drawing No North. 

I couldn't resist painting this after something truly amazing happened a few days ago. I was out on a night ride with my bro, Kryat, when an actual maned wolf jumped in front of the car and disappeared back into the night. They're an endangered species here in Brazil, so I was absolutely stunned by this. 

They run like deers because of their huge legs, kind of clu...

The Amazing Flying Bagel

Hey guys!

How are you today? 

Here are a few quick sketches from No North, a classic unfortunate moment for our short friend. 

Which pose is your favorite? 

Thank you all for your amazing support!! 

Blackeye

Hey guys!

How have you been?

I got a black eye last week from slamming my face on a table because I'm an absolute genius (I'm alright though!) but it made me think of this trouble-lurker and how many times he got one of these himself. Something tells me he's not being so honest. What do you think happened here? haha

Also, No North is officially under production!

Sunset Stroll

Hey guys!

How have you been? 

Here's No Northvember's painting prize! The winner was picked at random last Sunday, and it was Bordertip !

Here are their characters, Anna and Mayspot, out for a lovely afternoon walk. 

I've been experimenting more with creating my own brushes and decided to make a test set for this piece. The grass and flowers were 100% created with it!

Let me kn...

3 Runnin' Yotes

Ey guys!

How have you been?

Here are some flats from. Can you guess where this is from?

You'll be getting quite a few from now on! 

Thank you so much for your amazing support. You're making all of this possible! <3

Unwanted

Hey guys!

Here's a doodle I did on Procreate. I've started using the app this week and I'm having a lot of fun with it - besides, it records the process! I might spam you with some doodles and process videos for Adventurers from time to time <3

So here's one of Steban, who knows very well he's not welcome wherever he's sticking his muzzle at. 

Unwanted - Process

Hey guys!

Here's a very short and simple process video of a sketch :)

Let me know if you guys enjoy seeing stuff like that! 

Thank you for your awesome support!

Lineup!

Hey guys!

How have you all been? 

Firstly, I wanted to thank you all so much for your love and absolutely incredible comments you left me on the animatic post. This means more to me than words could ever express, and I couldn't stop smiling while I read through them. When I tell you that you guys give me life, I mean it. I owe it all to you!

I also bring some pretty good news: looks like I've finally found a background artist for No North! We're still working out prices...

The Great Unknown - ANIMATIC!

Hey guys!

IT'S FINALLY HEERE!

The animatic will premier on January 10, but you guys get to see it before anyone else, of course! 👀

I'm so excited to hear what you guys think of this! Red Berry did a fantastic job capturing Delilah's inner conflicts with this beautiful song she wrote, composed, sang and performed herself! 

Listen to the entire song on her channel!

Hey guys! 

How have you all been? <3

So here are a few more lil previews for the animatic I'm working on!

I just finished it today and will get Red Berry's approval (who's the author of the song) before I post it. Stay tuned! ;) 

I would love to know what you think of it so far!

You guys are amazing!

Thank You... AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAAAR!

Here’s a little something for my biggest supporters this year: my dear friends Collin, BurningWolfPromise, Melvin and Lombarsi!

I don’t have words to tell you how much your support has given me life and strength to keep working and moving forward. Some of you have been with me for over 3 years now, and to me that’s beyond incredible! It’s been the adventure of a lifetime, having you with me through it all! Thank you for everything you did, for your friend...

Her Garden - More Previews!

Hey guys! 

How are you? How was Christmas for you all? <3

So here are a few new screenshots from the upcoming animatic! 

It's my first time making something so detailed for an animatic, besides the "Ghost Town" one. I'm really excited to finish it and finally be able to share it with you guys!

Meanwhile, I'm finishing up the packages for the No Northvember prizes and getting ready to mail them (hopefully) by tomorrow, before the post office closes for New ...

One Cozy Evening

HEY GUYS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! <3 (or happy Holidays!!!)

I hope you all have an amazing time and take this day to enjoy yourselves!

Martin certainly knows how to spend his evening - he loves this time of the year and is a self-proclaimed "Coziness Expert!"

Thank you so so much for your support, love and words of kindness this year. I wanna say more during the New Year, but you were my biggest source of strength during these trying times. I hope you all stay safe and h...

Blasphemy

Hey guys!

How are you today?

Have you ever wanted to know more about Steban's home life? Well, here's a little insight, haha!

Some of you might remember this one from an epic night we had a while back on Discord! I decided to touch it up and finally officially share it. 

His father's name is Sebert and his brothers are Theodore (the lil' cupcake) and Mitchell (The dutifully excited one). 

I did this for fun, but it really sums up most of Steban and Sebe...

[SPOOKY WARNING!] - Cursed

Hey guys!

Remember I said I'd share the alternative version of "Cursed" with you all?

I ended up not using this one because I thought it was a bit too much, haha!

What do you guys think, is it too spooky? Or nah?

Thank you for your epic support! I hope you have an epic day ahead!

Her Garden

Hey guys!

How have you been?

Here's something new. While I wait for more prizes to arrive from production, I've been working on a new animatic during my free time! 

@Redberry , one of the participants on the challenge, actually made a song for Delilah as her last entry! The song is unbelievably beautiful, 2020-12-17 12:00:00 +0000 UTC View Post

No Northvember - Exclusive Print!

HEY GUYS!

As some of you might remember,  I'm adding an exclusive print to the No Northvember prizes! 

And of course, you guys will be the only ones to see it besides the people who'll get it in print. I really hope you enjoy this one, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you for all of your support, you're all amazing!

No Northvember - Exclusive Sticker!

Hey guys! 

So here's something cool (and spoilerish! hehe) 

There was an incredible number of people who took part in No Northvember and who were able to finish the challenge! Over 100 people did the whole 30 days (can you believe it?? This is AMAZING!)

I had previously said I'd include original A6 drawings in the package, but I did not expect this amount of people to actually get to the top of the mountain! 

So to still deliver the best prizes I can, I'...

No Northvember Sticker Pack!

Hey guys!! 

How have you been? <3

So here's what I've been up to: I'm currently making the No Northvember prizes for everyone who was able to finish the whole 30 days of challenge! 

This is what the sticker pack looks like. The stickers will actually be transparent where the white borders are, meaning you'll be able to decorate your phone, notebooks, and anything you want with them! I'm very excited for them to arrive! 

I would love to hear what you t...

No North - The Official Website!

Hey guys!

I have some grand news today - No North's official website is online! 

You can access it here:

https://nonorthcomic.com/

This was a very long and detailed project, but I'm so happy to finally have it ready. There are a few small touches I'm still working on (and please ignore the "blablabla" in the "news" page :'D) but overall, it's pretty much good to go!

I've worke...
