Hey guys!
Here's a sketch for my dear Fixion!
He asked for Steban and Martin having a snowball fight! I had too much fun with this, haha!
RIP Martin, though
Thank you so much for this wonderful request and for your incredible support! I hope you enjoy it!!

Hey guys!
Here's one for my dear DoggieDiversity!
As he put it, "Martin's got a toothache! Faye takes him to the dentist. In the waiting room, the nerves are kicking in...!"
The poor beagle doesn't trust Doc one bit, and he's right not to! Oddwind's doctor (and dentist) is very... unorthodox! haha
Wish him luck!
I really hope you enjoy this, thank you for all of your wonderful support! <3

Here's the first sketch of the month, for my dear friend, Melvin!
He wanted to know what else Kalf, the snapping turtle, liked to bite!
The Bull King doesn't know a thing about this, so shh.

Here's the final part of this tutorial, about how to color your character!
I really hope this could give you some insights and maybe a few ideas along the way!

It took a while, but here's the first part of the most suggested tutorial, Personality in character design! I really love this subject, it was my main thesis during my final year at Uni. It's a really complex subject though, so there will be many things left out, but I really hope this can help you in some way.

Hey guys!
Have you ever heard of MBTI? It's a personality type indicator, and it's so much fun when it comes to writing and better understanding characters (and ourselves).
There are 16 types in total, that go by the acronymes above. Generally speaking, each letter indicates a preferred cognitive function.
I've been very into MBTI for 2 years now, it's so much fun!
I just thought I'd share each No North character's personality type with you! Re...

Some more Baltiebens and Delilens!
Just a few out of context phrases from future scenes. Goodness, it stressed me out to write/read this, I really can't stand couple fights, haha!
But it had do be done in the name of science and character exploration.
The thing about their relationship is that Delilah is "too emotional" while Baltazar is "too controlling".
Baltazar can get aggressively goal-oriented, going over his own conviction...

Hey guys!
Here's another sketch of Delilah and Baltazar!
I've been exploring their relationship a lot lately, since it's been a complex one to write. Both are doing wrong and immature things as each other's partner.
They kind of remind me of a sunset, for some reason. Either because it always seems to get darker as their relationship progresses, or because of their overly romanticised dynamic (especially from Delilah's part). The purple and yellow are both ...

It's been a while since our last tutorial, so I'd love to know if you guys would like me to share a few tips on anything!
It could be anything, really! Backgrounds, how to draw characters, expressions, poses, create designs, translating personality into visual traits, storytelling tips, plotting...

Hey guys!
Here's part two of Skailla's amazing attempts at a self-portrait. This is what I could gather from a span of 3 years. I don't think I post a lot of "human" art here, but I thought it would be funny to share!
I hope you guys enjoy it! <3
Have an awesome day!!

Hey guys!
How are you doing?
Remember I told you I'd make a sketch dump with all the Skailla drawings I could find? Turns out a huge part of the sketches were very underwhelming (yes, maybe even worse than the zumba one) so here's one small compilation of the more ok ones, haha!
The top one is what she looks like atm, since I've straightened up my hair a bit and it looks 200% better, it's unbelievable.
Also, the zumba one is 2019-01-11 10:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys!
Here's an old art of my fursona I found while browsing my folders. I realised I have many drawings and sketches of her I've never posted! I might make a sketch dump for you guys!
This was vent art that I never planned to post, but I kind of like how it turned out, now that I looked at it after some time, haha!
Anyway, I hope you have a great day!
Thank you for everything!

Here's yet another character from the first book. You probably remember him from Up and Ahead though.
Welcome to Nowhere, son! I hope ya enjoy yer stay, herher!
Poor old Sam is still going through some redesign, and he'll serve a new purpose in the story. He hardly ever opens his eyes to talk, only when he gets really intense! Then he opens just one of them, haha
Let me know what you think <3
Have an awesome day!

I've been working really hard on No North's script on every chance I get, so I'm very sorry if I've been a bit absent these days!
I'm stocking up some content for you, don't worry! ;)
Here's a little drawing of Martin and April having one of their arguments over his nickname. I just find it funny how April is just a pup and already taller than Martin. The poor beagle.

Hey guys!
Here's the first little painting of 2019!
WOHOO!
I really thought hard about how I wanted to start the year, in a "painting" way.
This has kind of a funny story behind it. I was planning to draw something with Steban and Martin, but my internet went down for a few hours. So I was stuck listening to my old playlists on my computer, and happened to hear some songs I've had stored since childhood. They hit me hard (I'm a very nostalgic/romantic perso...

I wanted to have written this sooner, but at least we're still right at the beginning of 2019! The beginning of a brand new adventure. It's hard to know what the future holds, but I'm sure there are tons of wonderful and beautiful surprises waiting for us!
I just wanted to let you guys know that, besides all of the hardships, 2018 was an incredible year, thanks to all of you.

The comic page is finally finished! WOHO!
Winner of our Poll by 8 votes and suggested by my dear patron, AB!
"A sleepy Steban making a less than graceful escape from his attic hideout! (Watch out for those cactuses!)"
I had a lot of fun working on this. Steban can't really say the same, though!
Warren did seem to enjoy outsmarting the mischievous mutt - in his sleep - to make it all even better.

Here's a little sketch from No North's first book, "The North-less Compass"!
The writing has been going well, and saying that sounds almost like a miracle!

How are you?
Remember this guy, Basil? The show-off deer who got owned by a bison and lost his antler?
His antler won't grow back, and the remaining part of it won't fall out either. So he's stuck with it that way forever! haha
I might work a bit more on his story this upcoming year as a side project, but we'll have to see!
Thank you all so much and I hope you have a great day!

Here are a few drawing I actually never got to finish. I realised I have so many! Some of them would have become full paintings, but I kind of let them go for some reason. I have way more scattered around my compute. I might make a part two of this, if you guys like it!

Here's a little preview I did of some No North comic pages. These are not final, but I need to start testing out more of my work flow. The story's taking slow, but very solid steps towards its completion, at least in terms of planning and craft. I know I've been working on this for a very long time, but believe me, the wait will pay off! (at least I'm giving it all that I have!)
This is actually a very key scene that happens early on (I won't tell...
