RULES OF ASKING

No rude asks.

No asking when new pages are going to be released. You will be blocked.

I will not answer asks that may lead to major spoilers. You can ask them, but it isn't guaranteed that I will answer.

You can ask questions from characters directly! Just remember to add something along the lines of "Hey Vermin, how do you feel about [insert subject here]?" or "To Nuri; how are you?".

Regarding the last part, not all answers will be illustrated. I'm a adult person with a job so I have no time to draw anything extra at the moment.

Yes, you may send me theories of my stories you have. No I will not say which are right and which are wrong.

No role-playing with my characters, let's keep it professional with just questions, alright?

Fan-art is very much appreciated! Either submit them in the asks or tag this blog and I will reblog them when I see them! ^^

Don't spam. If your question was not answered, it was most likely against the rules or I'm too busy to give a full answer right now, so be patient. Don't keep asking the same thing over and over in hopes that I will cave. You will be blocked if you do this.

If someone is being rude in the asks of comments, DON'T HARASS THEM!!! The internet is already a terrible place, let's not make it more so.

So yeah, keep it civil, nice and clean and we're all be happier!

I was going trough my old references for Swarga characters and decided to show you what some of the characters used to look like in the first drafts.

Nuri has stayed mostly the same over the years, as his design has always been pretty solid. Over Nuri's head you can see the colour-tests I did before colouring the reference in full. I cannot imagine Nuri being blue or teal with purple spots, can you? XD

Nuri's mom and dad have stayed mostly the same. Mom mostly because she was in the comic only briefly, dad has mostly just lost few scars and spikes.

Hoo BOY Xing was TOTALLY different back then, wasn't he? Well, not TOTALLY different, but I have no idea why he had only one eye. His beard is also different nowadays. I suppose he was always a veteran of a war, but more of a soldier than a medic back then. Can't remember exactly, it has been a million years, lol.

added some things to the list and crossed out the ones I've done. I will most likely work on the cover image once I'm done sketching the new pages for swarga, f&d and bwc, so hopefully by the end of the week or the beginning of the next one.

also below the cut there are two pages to compare the colors of the two and show what an improvement I managed to give them after fiddling with pixlr for a while. spoilers for canine chronicles!

OLD - NEW

too bad the water still looks like shit lol never ask me to draw an ocean again istg

Did some notes to remind myself what to do before uploading Canine Chronicles to ComicFury, and... hoo boy, that's a lot of things.

I'll chip at this little by little among doing other things and working on other projects, so hopefully I actually get to start uploading this thing sooner rather than later. Pray for me 😩

Random Facts Part 1

Welcome to Random Facts, a series in which I tell you random facts about my comics! There should be no spoilers, but there will be behind the scenes-stuff about the characters and the series in whole, that may or may not be a bit spoiler-y so be careful!

Today's subject: Journey of the Heart (ComicFury | DeviantArt)

Waku is a super old character. She started as my Ginga-sona, thus why she looks a lot like my favorite character Akatora, that I used in the Finnish Ginga-fan-forums, Hopeanuoli-foorumi, nowadays known as Kaksoissola.

Waku's original name was Vaksu. Vaksu is a rarely-used Finnish nickname for the Bionicle character Vakama, my second favorite character of the franchise, and I used is as my username on the said forum. Her name changed officially to Waku when a fellow forum-user used their knowledge in kanji to translate other's usernames into Japanese. Due to some restrictions, Vaksu turned into Waku. Which was fine to me, as "waku waku" is a Japanese sound-effect that depicts heightened heartbeat, and worked with her hotheaded nature.

Waku's eyes were originally purple and she had a white tail-tip. I changed them to blue and black to simplify her already busy design.

Waku was momentarily a Role-playing-character on the now debunked forum called Ginsek. She could control fire, turn into a dragon and had a dark-side-version of her, like a good sparkle-dog in those days was supposed to have. This is actually ironic, because in the current version of Waku, she is terrified of fire.

Camille's name was originally Camilla, and she was much more negative and depressed character. I changed her to be more positive, as in the original script, she was supposed to be the main character of Journey of the Heart, and I thought having such a mopey character as a main one would get annoying after a while. I later used that characterization on Nuri in Swarga.

Kia's name was originally Kai, and he was more of a jerk than he is now. Changed it to Kia to make his name a bit more unique and mellowed his personality to less of a jerk.

Henry was originally supposed to be Kia's lackey and just as much of a jerk, just more dumb. I'm glad I changed him to the doofy sweetheart he is now.

In the original version of Journey of the Heart, the story was about Camille and a young male dog, named Andy, looking for his pack and having adventures, Kia and Henry being the recurring villains (more akin to Team Rocket than actual bad guys). In the end, Andy would turn up to being Waku's son, Camille joins her pack and takes part in a war against a rival dog-pack, and ends up becoming Andy's mate. This story was very quickly scrapped as I wanted to write more about Waku.
