Leonor

Hey guys!

I hope you're all doing great!

Here's one more character for the first book of No North. This is Leonor, a very friendly Saint Bernese who works with Tony at his cafe. She has a LOT of strength though, and can be dangerously protective of her friends!

I wish you a wonderful day ahead!

Old School

Hey guys! 

Here's just something fun I did between work! 

Steban and Martin drawn in a somewhat 70/80's style. It was a fun experience! 

It worries me what that idea might be, though!

I hope you have an awesome day!

Steban - Poses!

Today's the first official day of Comic Con for me, so I'm setting a few posts automatically while I'm gone, so that you don't run out of content! 

Here are a few poses I've been practicing with! Drawing this bouncy boy is always so much fun!

I hope you guys enjoy this! You're awesome!

5th Milestone - WE DID IT!

GUYS GUYS GUYS!

THIS IS AMAZING! WE'VE HIT THE 5TH MILESTONE ON PATREON!

THANK YOU GUYS SO, SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT! 

You have no idea how much this means to me, seriously! I can hardly believe this is actually happening! 

All of your support has helped me take bigger steps with my art and profession, and just the thought of having you by my side and helping me so much on my journey is nearly surreal. I just don't have enough words to thank you fo...

The Skies Are Always Blue

Hey guys! 

This one's just a little fanart I did for a movie and a character I really liked when I was younger. Have you ever watched The Three Caballeros? 

I really liked the Brazilian parrot, José Carioca!

He's from Rio de Janeiro  ("Carioca" is the way we call people who come from Rio), so I decided to create an OC for a Paulista as well! (Paulista is what we call people from São Paulo, where I'm from). I call him Beto Paulistinha, haha!

There are a few pr...

SAIL!

Hey guys! 

Here's one more sketch for my friend, Collin!

HE asked for Steban and Martin trying to figure out how to sail a small sailboat! 

Careful not to fall over there, Martin! 

I had a lot of fun with this! I really hope you enjoy this, my friend! 

Thank you so much for your wonderful support!!

City Lights

Hey guys! 

Today is my brother's birthday, so I've prepared a little something for him!

This is is character Raff, who's the protagonist of a graphic novel he's been working on!

It's a surprise tho', so don't tell him about this just yet, haha! 

Anyway, have an amazing day!

Meal Trade

Hey guys! 

Here's another monthly sketch for JNSx7!

He asked for Steban and his brother Theo cooking meals for each other, but someone got unlucky in this trade, haha! 

Good luck Theo, your brother seems blissfully unaware of the apocalyptic dish he has created! 

I had a lot of fun with this one, haha! 

Thank you so much for your wonderful support, my friend! 

I wish you all an amazing day!

Game's On

Hey guys! 

Here's the next sketch of the month, for my dear BurningWolfPromise! 

He asked for Chase and Robin playing poker - but Robin is pulling such a poker face Chase doesn't know how he's gonna cheat! 

Robin can totally see he's cheating tho', but she's curious to see where this goes. Can you imagine how good she'll feel when she wins against the collie even though he cheated? Haha! 

I had a lot of fun with this! 

Thank you so much for your...

BEEEEZ!

HEY GUYS! 

How have you been??

Here's the first sketch of the month, for Epic Save Room! 

He asked me for Delilah running away from some angry bees! 

Who has ever been in this situation? I've had some scary encounters with bee swarms in my life, but luckily I was able to get away unharmed, haha!

I hope you enjoy this, my friend! I had a lot of fun drawing it! 

I wish you a wonderful Saturday!

Time's Up.

Eey guys! 

How have you been? =D 

Here's just another sketch from No North! Solomon and Rocco came to collect their money from a veeery broke dog who owes them tons. How do you think this is gonna turn out? 

Thank you all so much for your incredible support! 

I wish you a wonderful day!

Solomon

Heey guys! 

Here's one of our new boys again, but this time drawn in full body! 

He's kind of a mix between Roukan and Mutthead from Up and Ahead, haha

Let me know what you think! <3

New Characters!

Hey guys!! 

I hope you've had an amazing weekend! 

Here are some new characters that will appear on the first issue of No North! Neither are from Oddwind, they're actually from Martin's town, Copperbone. 

Harold is a lazy train guard.

Solomon is a city gang leader who takes advantage of dogs who are desperate for money. He lends them a certain amount and charges double for each day they fail to pay him back after the deal is up. If they still fail to pay after ...

The Austern Mansion

Hey guys! 

More building design - this is the last one on the main list, though! 

This is Baltazar's house, who's the only member of the Austern family still alive. His family was one of the four founding families of Oddwind, but his parents disappeared with the lost expedition years ago, when he was very young, and he has lived in solitude ever since. 

The house is not huge for a city's standard, but for Oddwind, it's pretty big. It has around six rooms, a home offi...

Blacksmith

Heey guys! 

I hope you're doing awesome!

Here are some more building designs, haha! 

You might already know what building this is - it's Warren's Smithy, also known as Steban's favour home! 

On the ground floor is the smithy, the second floor is where Warren, Ellen and little April live (two rooms, one bathroom and a kitchen), then comes the lovely attic, where Warren stores old family relics no one wants, broken furniture and a certain furry parasite who shows...

The RedSky Saloon

Hey guys! 

Here's another building concept art. I'm still looking for a sense of identity in my building design, and trying to make Oddwind seem like a town filled with life. 

This is Margaret's dear RedSky Saloon. It looks somewhat menacing when the night falls and that deer skull lights up! 

I'm still keeping that old red toned wood from the original building, though. I'd love to know what you think of it! <3

Have an awesome day!!

Cross Roads

Hey guys! 

I hope you're doing great! 

I'm sorry I haven't been able to prepare posts for the last few days - a few things came up in my personal life I needed to rush into. But everything's good! 

Here's a sketch and a bit of a concept art for our darkness lady. Let me know if you like her gipsy-like looks, and if you have any suggestions for her! <3

I wish you all an amazing week!! 

Thank you for your wonderful support, once again!

Drifter

Hey guys!

How have you been?

This one started out as a sketch request for my brother, but I ended up finishing it! 

Here's a very classic scene from Steban's life, especially before he met Martin. Professional train hopper, wanderer and most importantly, professional trouble-lurker! haha

I really hope you enjoy this! Have a great day! <3

While writing No North, Kalf (the "Snapping Turtle") developed a taste for attacking Steban's poor tail during their encounters!

Durarara!! Fanart

Hey guys! 

I did this little sketch some time ago, while I was watching an anime called Durarara!! 

Have you ever watched it?

The story is a big mess, but I really fell in love with the characters. They are so interesting I could watch them doing any ordinary thing and it would still be thrilling, haha!

This one's the doggo forms of my favourite characters, Shinra, the underground doctor, and Celty, the headless biker. She's a supernatural entity who lost her head, ...

City Hall

Hey guys! 

I hope you're doing great <3

Here's another concept art for Oddwind's main buildings. This time is the City Hall!

Oddwind has kind of a funny history behind its foundation. The first doggos were explorers and families looking for a new, peaceful place to build a community. They all embarked on boats and went on a long journey through the river, way beyond any other dog had ever been before. When they reached the edge of the unknown, however, a strong wind that de...

Hotel

Hey guys! 

Here's the first concept for one of Oddwind's odd buildings! 

Since the end of Up and Ahead I've been considering many things about my building design, which I recognise I explored very poorly in the last comic.

 I'd like to create something that feels right, but at the same that, that has a strong sense of identity. In that "when I look at this house I know instantly where it's from!" kind of way. 

Considering Oddwind is now placed right betwee...

The Woman King

Hey guys! 

Here's the last sketch of the month – this one's for my dear friend, Austin! 

He asked for a sketch of the Devil based on the amazing song Woman King by Iron and Wine.

I really love this band, but had never heard this song before! It suits her so well, so it was ease to imagine her walking through the rocky canyons with a menacing look in her eyes.
