The main goal with this blog is to practice comics and stuff, just going to be something fun to work on bit by bit. The soft post schedule is an update per week, but that may vary depending on how busy I am
I play about 10 moons ahead, and try to stick to what the generator gives me. As of right now this comic won't have a main plot line, but focus more on the cats and their lives
Typical cw such as violence, animal death, injury, blood etc. But nothing more extreme than what's typically presented in the books, and I try to stay away from drawing any of these aspects in detail
asks are open! Feel free to ask the clan (or me!)

I was kinda burned out when I made the og comic and I speedran it to get it done for christmas so I didnt like how it looked
I know it means a lot to some people so I wanted to give it a glow up
Had to make some changes since it is canon now (mostly to make it clear that the plant it a lingonberry. It is important for one Mesi and Viima comic I havent finished yet)
after 4 years of drawing webcomics, this is my wisdom:
start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing
it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally
draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like
don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent
bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby
take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real
sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on
lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off
it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!
I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters
you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind
a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)
sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much
at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results
it's okay to stop by the way. it's okay to move on from a project if you no longer find joy in it
