Description This comic isn't dead, it's just that I still have a problem with my arm. I have finished the storyboards for chapter one, which landed at 50 pages. I've also started drawing the pages but the inking will have to wait until my arm is ok. What more can I say. The story is turning dark in my head and I switch back and forth between thinking it's okay and hating it as often as that guy in Fist of the north star throws his punches. I'm still going to draw it anyway. I've noticed that it improves on my page-compositions and I get to try out whatever I want without having to worry over being consistent with both art and story.

Anyway, this was supposed to be a random werewolf-pic but I changed direction right in the middle of painting it. It's now the title page for chapter one.

Alltså. Jag blir påmind om Skoll och Hate, vargarna i nordisk mytologi som vid Ragnarök sväljer solen och månen.

Vad är det för armproblem du har? Är det carpal tunnel syndrome, eller vad?

Huh,vad passande. En av mina största inspirationer till serien är gruppen "Swallow the Sun".

Jag har haft en muskelinfektion nära min högra armbåge sedan november. Det kommer från att ha tecknat för mycket den terminen. Det betyder att ju mer jag vilar destå snabbare blir det bättre. Men det betyder att jag inte kan teckna. Mitt liv består just nu av att plugga, vara glad när jag får teckna saker och att vara djupt deprimerad när jag inte kan teckna något. Ska träffa en läkare på torsdag iaf och få en till spruta med ett starkt infektionsdödande medel igen. Får se om jag kanske klarar mig bättre efter det.

Ajaj - hoppas din arm blir bättre snart. Det låter inte roligt alls det där.

Hahah, you're right. They do seem a bit similar. I think the LOTR one looks way more evil though. Probably the shadows
