A promotional banner for the webcomic In Suitable Conditions. In the middle there's a black-and-white panel from the comic with two characters siting on a sofa. One of them is holding an ukulele. They're looking at a TV off-panel. They hear music playing on the TV.

Preview time! The next episode of In Suitable Conditions will publish on Tapas and Webtoon this Sunday.🎆
Details of a black-and-white comic page and panels each showing different body parts of a character. A comic panel showing a black silhouette of a torso on a white background. Inside the torso is a twisting tube that looks like a tree branch and runs in the place where a human's digestive system would be. On that is overlaid a text that says, "have to have to have to have to". A black-and-white comic panel where the character looks down, seeing their own right leg and shoe (probably a Converse shoe) and their distorted reflection on a rainwater puddle. Leaves are floating on the puddle and they have eyes that look at the character curiously. A promotional banner for the webcomic In Suitable Conditions, with the series logo and description: "A webcomic about a uni drop-out trying to avoid the anxieties of the world, by Eelis Nilukka". The banner encourages the viewer to read the webcomic on Webtoon, Tapas and Patreon.

#hourlycomicday part 2.
Was a good day!
Comic panels illustrating what I did during each hour. Panel 1, 15-16: Went on a walk to enjoy the sun before the clouds swallow it for another week. Panel 2, 16-17: yoga and eating. Panel 3, 17-20: working on the next episode of In Suitable Conditions and Patreon content. Listening to ASMR while I work - it's my "white noise" :D. Panel 4, 20-21: editing a video with my art and an amazing joke. Panel 5, 21-22: Listening to my BF rewind their day. Panel 6, 22-23: Getting ready for bed and going to sleep. Good night ~~~

My first time participating in #hourlycomicday!

I only started drawing in the afternoon, but it seems I'm not the only one, so I guess it's fine. 😆
Comic panels drawn on a sketchbook page. Hand-drawn title: "Hourly Comic Day 1.2.2025. Eelis Nilukka". First panel: 7-8 Woke up. Second panel: 8-9 breakfast with my boyfriend. Third panel: 9-10 drinking coffee, chatting, reading. Fourth panel: 10-11 getting ready, taking out trash, etc. Fifth panel: 11-12 going to my barber to get a fresh undercut, then lunch at a café. Sixth panel: 12-13 picking up some groceries, marvelling at the sun on my way home. Seventh panel: 13-15 filming my inking process. It's the first time I use a camera (instead of a phone), so setting up takes time. I hope it turned out well!

Throwback to 2017! 🤪

If you're not familiar with these guys: they're from my first ever long webcomic called BSandL, and you can check it out on Tapas and Webtoons (scifi/drama; it's a completed series).

Tapas: tapas.io/series/BSand...

Webtoon: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/bs...
A 4-panel comic. An apartment, night time. First panel: A young black-haired man lies on his bed and watches another young white-haired man who's sleeping next to him on a mattress. Second panel: a pillow lands next to the white-haired man, waking him. Third panel: the black-haired man lays down on the mattress to sleep next to the white-haired man, whose facial expression is surprised but he makes room for the other man. Fourth panel: the men are spooning on the mattress and looking very peaceful.

Today's behind-the-scenes Patreon post started with an exciting announcement...

I can tie my hair into a ponytail! 🥹

That's nothing to do with the post's content, but it's kinda relevant!

Black and white drawing. A character pulls down his hood, revealing his hair. He says, "Ta-dahh! My hair's long enough to tie into a ponytail!" Black amd white drawing. A character looks at a comic panel and says, "Maybe I'm happy because I've come so far? Nowadays, I'm able to hold a conversation despite feeling quite anxious. I'm a living proof that you can, in fact, learn social skills. While Lissa's still on her journey to realising these things." Black and white drawing. A character leans on a strip of comic panels, all of which contain a thoughbubble that read, "Arrogant?" The character comments on the panels, "Here's another realisation: When you're socially anxious and closed up in your own inner world, you shut others outside... You're putting up this wall. You're so preoccupied with your own emotions and thoughts that you're not showing attention to anyone or anything outside yourself."

A colourful digital drawing of a young woman with black long hair, pale skin, white t-shirt, blue jeans, and Oxford shoes of light leather. Next to the character is hand-written text: Anna-Melinda. Age: 20. Hobbies: scrolling, skincare, doodling, going to student event. Likes: cute pet photos, chips. Dislikes: paying for public transportation.

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline
A swan family photographed from above. The two parents and four brown, adult-sized cygnets are swimming and feeding. There's snow on the water banks.

Hi, there's so many new followers that I reckoned a short intro is due!

I'm Eelis from Finland, and I create webcomics and self-publish short stories about aliens and anxious gays. I'm one of those myself.

Is creating concept art even worth the while at this point?

I'm not usually one to create concept art for my comics... For whatever reason. I'm not sure if I'm just lazy or arrogantly overlooking their worth.

But there's no denying that they're great for... 👉
