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.

Describe your plot in five words or less - if you dare.

Take as much time as you need with your webcomic.
Taking care of yourself and avoiding burnout is much more important than meeting the self-imposed deadlines.

Sarjainfo: A survey of Finnish comic artists showed that professionals have a strong identity. However, the Finnish comics scene still faces many problems.

I'm confident in my ability to draw flowy shapes.
I also love drawing expressions. I like that sometimes facial and body language can give hints what the character is thinking and feeling below the surface.

Here's the cover, the protagonist and the antagonist in single image.
Now with 20% more leg room! (Really need to draw a new cover at some point...)

Apparently BoC is currently featured on the community tab spotlight section on Tapas. No wonder it's getting so many new readers!
It makes me so happy to see people curious of my silly story about a dead tired programmer and a magical bookman.

Noticed some clipping issue with my webcomic cover on Tapas. Apparently layout template had changed somewhere in the 2024 (Oops).
The current cover was hard to get working with updated template, so had to give the characters some leg extensions.
I swear I'll draw a proper new cover some day. -.-"

Typos are, have been, and will seemingly ALWAYS be my Acheles heal.
I mean, Achilles heel. Dagnabbit! ;)
Now that the holiday storyline is over, the strip will be returning to a once-a-week schedule… at least while I suss out how much extra work doing these in color will take. lol.
