Chapter Two - pages 1 - 3

Let's see how far I get this time before life takes a hold of me again :)

Since I've picked this project back up, a collection for all pages so far:

Pages Part 1 (1-8)

Pages Part 2 (9-13)

Pages Part 3 (14-15)

Pages Part 4 (16-22) End of Chapter 1)

TL;DR: Remember when I drew a reylo comic based on my fave fic??

----

Once upon a time (almost 6 years ago…) I was really bored being stuck at home during a pandemic, so I read lots of fanfics, day in and day out. Until one of them really struck a chord with me and I felt like I wanted to see it play out in front of my eyes visually. So I went in search of my graphics tablet, hidden under a layer of dust and dirt at the bottom of my closet, and I just started drawing.

I'd never ever before worked on a comic and in drawing in general had always been an on-again-off-again hobby to me (spoilers: it still is as you can see..). But I reaaaally enjoyed drawing those scenes from my favourite fanfic, so I kept doing it until I had actually finished the whole first chapter! Unbelievable!! And somehow, life started up again, I finished my master's degree and got buried under the weight of working my first post-uni jobs. I didn't even notice how I slowly but surely left my hobby (and also my birth country) behind again. Moving to a different continent and learning so much about other cultures and how change effects you forever has kind of made me think about my life a lot. This January, I moved back to my old uni town, and I'm not sure how I feel about it quite yet. I miss the new friends I made abroad and it honestly feels like some kind of "failure" for returning.

Something about getting older and facing so much change this last year has made me revisit a bunch of my older habits and likes again, though. Which finally leads me to why I'm writing this personal rant right now: I wanted to see what it was that kept me so engrossed in my fandom-era back then, to see what it was like to create something out of pure joy and with no deeper being-a-responsible-adult-reason behind it. So yeah, It's not much, but I did start on chapter 2 of my little fan-comic and yeah, this also felt like taking a few steps back (I didn't even remember how the software works lol), but also it felt like embracing a bit of my younger-selfs pure creative joy - and I loved every second of it.

So here we go: 5 1/2 years after chapter 1, finally a cover illustration, lovingly rendered without any AI, just my good old trusty wacom from 2011 (no screen on this bad boy haha)!

Maybe some of you out there still remember and will share a little moment of peaceful fanish joy with me here :)

Stay tuned for chapter 2 coming soon :)

Happy new year everyone!!

Hey everyone!

I'm still (somewhat) alive!! 🥳

I did this way back in 2020 actually, but it was meant for a zine (which, to my knowledge, never saw the light of day) and since I've been going through my computer and saw this, I figured I might as well post it now. At least it might fit the summer vibe (not where I'm at though, here it's only rain all day long...)

Hello everyone!

I am indeed still alive! 🎉

I’m just popping in to leave this little lonesome Rey doodle. My life has been quite a rollercoaster these past two years (and it still is...) so I had to step away from social media and, to my regret, drawing in general. So I just wanted to give a little update that I have not forgotten about this account and that I do wish to return and create some stuff again in the future, but as of now, I still cannot say when that will be.

I’m aliiiiiiiiiive! And back with some Paige Tico screencap studies!

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth, but life really took over for a while there..

This year has been no easy journey, for sure, but for some reason it did bring me back to the joys of drawing and I’m (almost) able to put together one of these art summaries! I’ve never drawn as much as I did this year and I’m incredibly grateful for all the love and support I’ve received since joining the reylo online community.

Sorry for being so inactive lately, but my life’s a bit of a hot mess right now. I really hope I can get back to drawing again soon, but since it’s unlikely to happen before christmas, I figured I’d post a little reylo cobra kai au thing I did a couple months back. Really enjoyed that show, although I know nothing about martial arts lol
