Climbed on top of Ukko-Luosto today (6.5km route, 212m ascension with 575 steps + 212m descension, mostly gravel path). The weather was too misty to see anything from the top, but still worth it.

steep fellside, some lonely trees and misty background

Autumn holiday at Pyhä-fell. Visited Isokuru nature trail (Big gorge, 200m deep) and Pyhänlammenputous-waterfall. Old beautiful forest, stunning rock formations, & food at bonfire ❤️

Morning ink heads & coffee.

I try to switch from coffee to tea only from time to time, but so far have failed miserably. Maybe one day.

Also! Fetch the print and come up with a personal code, and when buying the actual comic later on you'll get some nice extra thing (haven't decided yet what it'll be) but still! Worth coming by and say Hi! :)

I think I'll put gaming on hold for a while now anyway. Nothing to look forward to im that front.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 5d

In what kind of an rpg one can't refuse the side quests offered? "Oh yes of course I'll go pick flowers for you". And you couldn't sort the inventory in any way!!

Ok, rant over. Anyone want to buy the game from me? It's really good.

Finally finishes DA Veilguard! 80hrs, what a waste of time. It was an 'ok' game, but there was so many elements in the gameplay that just felt unnecessary and none of the characters surprised me in any way. "Oh, it's this trope." And like... everyone was too _nice_ and polite.

#bread stuff. Second time baking from the sourdough starter and it's the best loaf ever! Used plain wheat flour, nothing fancy. The dough was in the fridge overnight, and I folded it maybe 4-5 times before baking. Perfection.

#sourdough #baking #foodsky

a loaf of sourdough bread on a cutting board. It's already been cut and one slice is in front of the loaf. A blue kitchen towel on the right.

Couldn't really tie shoelaces or button up anything with those... claws? Velcro & zippers it is.

#comics update: the second page of my Raven-comic's freebie-trailer-handout has inks on it! Some bits to fix, some bits to highlight, it's Posca time tomorrow.

You can get a print of this for free at #oulucomicsfestival in November and I'll post the final version online after that.

#sarjakuva #ink

An inked comics page. Upper left corner: three people surround a fourth that's on their knees on the ground. A skull flows out of them to the right of the page, where stands a giant ravenlike figure, who's holding something shiny against their chest. At the lower half of the page there's a huge toad, crackling their fingers and behind it stands an old man with flowy white hair. Three empty text boxes.

#gym day, full-body. Within a year I've increased the weights 10 kg in barbell hip-thrust & leg extension, and 5kg in chest supported row. Seated dumbell press & cable curl have stayed pretty much the same, as have push-ups & sit-ups. Starting to see a pattern: the isolated muscles need attention.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 12d

Joo, ei siitä sinänsä haittaa oo. Ois kiva jos ois semmonen avoallas mistä se näkyis kunnolla.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 12d

Heleposti on voinu olla. Jonku satsin mukana mulle tuli yks pienen pieni pikkulimaskan alku ja ei varmaan yllätä että nyt en pääse siitä eroon 😅

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 12d

Petokotilo? Mulla tuli yhen rapuerän mukana yks ja luulin et se oli vaan kuollu kotilonkuori. Nope, nyt on tankki täynnä näitä möyriäisiä.

LauraJohanna @annahojarual.bsky.social · 12d

I'll be giving these out for free at Oulu Comics Festival in November, come find me and say Hi!

Lettering will be in Finnish for now, I'll post the whole thing online after the festival.

#comics update: page 1/2 of Raven pt. 1 trailer-freebie is all but done, only lettering to do! Here's the (almost) final version, broke out the white Posca's to give a once over. With page 2/2 I want to redraw one corner before inking, that's on today's todo-list.

#sarjakuva #indiecomics #inking

a comics page with three panels and empty spaces for text. In the first panel, a group of four strange characters work on something and a giant cat lurks about. In the second panel, an pld man with white hair and a younger man with black hair are having an argument. In the third panel, someone's riding a galloping horse in the dark.
