Gonna be at Tracon 2018
I have a shared table at Tracon's artist alley this year with a friend of mine! I will be selling prints of some of my work, along with charms and enamel pins I've designed. If you're attending Tracon, please stop by to say hello and take a look!
Gonna have prints of these three at least:
Tracon is an anime & roleplaying convention held in my home city in Finland each year. I'm also part of the organizing team (we're a bunch of volunteers who organize the convention with no pay) so I've been involved with the event in one way or another for years. However, it's been a looooooong time since I've last attended an artists alley, and I'm so
Another sketchblog appears!
So I hopped over to Blogger to create a new sketchblog and stopped updating the one at my website. It's just so much easier having a sketchblog there because most of the artists' blogs that I follow are there as well, and it's simpler to keep track of everything in one place. Plus, I can enable comments without fearing a huge random spam flood.
Check it out -> http://perynne.blogspot.com/
There's mainly just my newer, completed works there at the moment, but I'll start dumping pencil sketches and other things there soon enough. Also I'll use it as a place to gush about whatever game I'm addicted to at the moment. :3
RANDOM FEATURE
:iconre
The Grand Feature! (with new features! v.2)
EDIT: Instead of flooding your message centre with my journal every day, I decided to go ahead and start filling up some of the remaining empty slots with people I watch who deserve to be featured. Only 3 more empty slots left after this update, so if I don't get them filled with artists from comments, I'll do one last update tomorrow. :)
Well, since I got tagged by two people, and then was featured by a third, I thought I'd go ahead and do this meme. :)
:bulletpurple: Be one of the first 18 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List!
:bulletpurple: For each of the 18 first people answering this journa
Happy New Year!
The holidays were a pretty busy time for me. Last Christmas I couldn't spend it with my own family, so this year they seemed determined to make up for it with double the food, double the presents and double the "must spend time with family now". And not having eaten finnish Christmas food for nearly two years, I was happy enough to pig out - getting sick in the process and taking several days to get better again.
Hopefully this year is going to be a better year for me. Last year had some really nice things happen and a whole lot of really, really awful things happen from which I'm still recovering. One of the nice things was that I became in

Well, I can understand the hostility one might get from the "elder" comic artists because in Finland. manga really doesn`t have much of serious reputation (most of that can be blaimed by translated manga[you really can`t expect that many of over thirties comic artist men can see any good in Tokyo Mew Mew] which has the pretty pretty princess wibe) And because it`s STILL a "new" thing.
The thing you said about superhero comics...
Stereotypic manga and stereotypic superheros have much in common.
Big Boobs, tiny getup, magical powers, drama and saving the world.
So... how many finnish superhero comic artists you know? Even though those comics have been known in here over decades, there still are only about five superheros in finland`s comicworld.
(besides, Donald and superhero`s DO have their own category; the dreaded western)
So the best you (or any other aspiring manga-artist) can do is LEARN TO DRAW in other styles, prove others that "Hey, I can draw other stuff too, happy?" if it really bugs the hell out of you. The problem is that not only westerns have their problem with manga-style, but some otakus (sorry for using these words) have THEIR problem with any other style "If I can`t draw it in manga-style, I`m not drawing anything".
So, let`s wait five more years, and get 50 more mangas translated (from wider range than kawaii-desu and Gunnm only) untill only Naruto isn`t "the coolest anime foevah" and maybe when we get more than "OMG look I made a manga about a cat-girl that falls in love and saves the world with love" comics.
(This isn`t meant to you, but when most of finnish pseudo-manga goes this way it isn`t weird to wonder why so may don`t take manga-artists seriously.)
Wheow. Sorry if this too was a rant.
