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.

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.

Woke up to a dream at 4am today.

In the dream had to extempore pitch my webcomic in English without any prep. Tried my best to export the comic PDF to share while everyone was waiting for me to start.

At least managed to write down the pitch after waking up.

(Next dream in Finnish please.) :"D

“Why am I always so exhausted lately?” I ask, ignoring the fact that I just finished doing 3 cons in 2 months while working a fulltime job and drawing comics

According to Tapas, my webcomic "Book of Change" is Halloween material.

Sooo... perfect time to start reading? (Seriously my comic is not that spooky, but ok?) :"D

Was trying to write material for "do you wanna publish my webcomic"-document.

Aaand ended up writing a ton of character summaries, lore and scene ideas instead.

Oops. :"D

My cousin's three-year-old's overjoyed reaction when they received a "Taikuri tarra" (Magician sticker).

They haven't read or seen the comic, but they love the pins in my bag. One of the pins has my characters on it.

They were just happy that they got a sticker of a character from the the pin. 🧡
Happy #webcomicwednesday everyone!
We've got a question for you webcomickers:

What's one thing that someone has said about your work that has never left you?

Had to show my descend to madness while working on the most recent BoC page.

- First version: Hmm, Murmeli's hair is not quite wild enough.
- Second version: That looks too weird.
- Third version: Needs a couple tweaks to look perfect.
- Forth version: ...send help.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.
