Normeda's Studio

Hi! I'm Robb. This is my studio blog where I'll share my projects for whoever enjoy this kind of stuff.

All my life I enjoyed writing stories and illustrate their characters. The freedom to just create worlds and explain how it functions, has always helped me to stay mentally calm in most situations.

My dream is to one day finish a project, whenever it's a comic or just a book, that'll mean something to someone.

Getting supported to put down more time in my work would be nice too. But that's something one have to earn, right?

Anyway. I hope I can entertain you today.

Traditional to digital. Why not?

Love to draw old style clothes mixed with modern ones. But sometimes just full on hoody or shorts will do.

Secondly. No car needed, since I live so close. A buss trip will do fine for other town errands. That alone will help me save up even more with lower pay and I'll keep having a job all year. If the market will keep me tht is.

However. This means I have to cut short my job at the museum. Even more awkardly. Just three days starting my new job, if I got it, means I would have to take a day off for that visit to the surgeon.

Not only am I leaving my museum coworkers one staff short for the final month this season. Now I'll vanish for a day or two at the new place.

The museum has these mascots I see everywhere at work. Each one symbolizes their own location on Åland islands historical spots and museums.

On Eckerö post and customs museum where I work. We have an otter/fish creature called "Ecke."

A postmaster I think. Pretty straightforward design. But it works. I just feel a bit bummed out he doesn't have a tail... And he's carrying around a post horn with Ålands national flower in it for some reason. What's up with that?

Anyway. I felt like making something about them myself to pass the time during slow days and I thought that "Busis" the mascot for the art and craft museum would do nicely here.

Let's see if my employers appreciate it. Probably not. Cause I messed with the flower. But who knows.

Once a task appears, I just put my phone away. No time wasted, no harm. With a story just waiting to continue behind a locked phone screen when I need it. No fuss

I really have no patience for people who can't stop guilt tripping others every ten seconds. So I became more arrogant to counter that.

Aftur concept from the old phone again. It's funny how I seem to have more control when I have less control, if that makes sense. Pressure sensitivity does make things move faster though with the right practice.

Anyway. This old guardian is still in the picture. I like ho the outfit turned out. Need to work on that facial hair though. It looks like two... um... tadpoles... Yeah, I rather go with that. two Tadpoles is making out on his face. Charming, but gives a little discomforting "hmm," to put it lightly.

... I hate deep waters. I'm not sure what she's looking for. Give up and get out, I say!

The word for this little practice was "floating" and I had to draw from the sketch as much as possible without improving anything. Somehow her eyes got huge because of it. But dang does it work well.

I wanted to make her taller for awhile now. But something pushes me to shrink her again, and yet keep the more heavier body shape. I have no idea if this design feels right for her. But at least it's fun to work on.

The Blustone waterfalls has the perfect temperature this time of year. Too bad not everyone has access to the area without a ride bird. But privacy has it's perk.

Hope nobody minds the blur. It was kinda fitting in a stylish way.

I made like six versions of this on my phone before I decided to use the blant life as cover. For obvious reasons.

Otherwise the first try started out natural and then I added a towel if I decided to post it online. I changed this and that while constantly wonder if I'm pushing my luck with Tumblr's restrictions...

I've been in the mood for both thicker lines and more realistic anatomy. Tova is very flexible with all methods like that and she doesn't mind feeling taller for once.

Okay. We all know somebody who can't quit when they need to.

Some force is pushing them to solve a problem NOW before they can get any rest.
