Hello! 🩵
I'm Minna. Excuse me while I unpack my bags a bit.

I spend my free time working on a webcomic "Book of Change". It is a weird mix of sci-fi themes, talking magical books and bitter sweet feels~

I also love to share comics, art and writing related posts.

Yes, & also:

Write down ALL your fun ideas and keep em in one place (notes app, notebook, word doc, etc). Including the ones you end up *not* using for your story.

Refer to it next time you get writer’s/artist’s block. You’ll find a perfect use for each idea eventually, be it now or 5 yrs from now
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.

Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.

Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Women want one thing*, and it's disgusting.

*A story about shapeshifting magic book and a dead tired programmer trying to somehow keep said book in check.

This was a huge challenge—capturing the 90s Image vibe of Jim Lee and Scott Williams and the era’s distinct coloring. Luckily, my amazing friend Laura Martin swooped in and added all the shiny Wildstorm/Image zazz I hoped for. Thank you so much, Laura! Squeee!

Sometimes, the idea maker just… kinda gets backed up. And sometimes, not having an idea GIVES me an idea. This is one of those times. lol

My friend @gritrook.art sometimes snipes me with fan-art of my webcomic. They draw them illegally good looking. (Makes me scream every time.)

Have to draw faster to get to point in the comic so that the fan-art does not contain spoilers anymore. :"D

Early concept sketches of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".

Photo's from the sketchbook are a bit messy, since my sketchbook is THICK and it is pretty much impossible to take good photos with.

Character ref sheet of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".

The design is inspired by birds of paradise.

I tried to incorporate elements from both the object itself as well as Murmeli's shapes, since key is a part of him.
