Welcome to the project blog for the graphic novel project 'Støv'! 'Støv' (meaning 'dust' in Danish) is an after-the-end fantasy comic set in a world that was ravaged by a large natural disaster. As balance and life returned, new races and civilizations popped up and are still finding their foothold in the much-changed landscape.
Britt, an optimistic and adventurous orphan girl, is given her coming-of-age task in the swamp village she grew up in - to find the truth about her own origins and the source of the strange 'pull' she's been feeling all her life. While she's never traveled the world and is ignorant of largely all its dangers, she's helped by a special ability: she breaks every language barrier, making her able to communicate with everyone she meets, and vice versa. Roar is an aging warrior, grizzled and jaded from a lifetime of fighting. Shunned by his own people and running from a past he'd rather forget, he bumps into Britt by chance, or perhaps by fate. They form a partnership to help each other out as they make their way through the changed, scarred and beautiful world.
But the sins of the past are not easily buried, and a hopeful future may not always be what it seems. Throughout their journey, Roar and Britt must learn to rely on each other as danger lurks and new truths come to light. The story of Støv is a story of found family, parenthood, friends turned enemies, identity, wonder, survival, control, hope and forgiveness.
Currently a one-person venture, this project is very near and dear to me, and I'm incredibly excited to be sharing it here. I'm a long-time fan of work-in-progress projects, I collect art books and love following the journeys of all kinds of creative works. It's always been a goal of mine to do a large scale project of my own, and in that project to open up my process and share my progress, struggles and triumphs to anyone who might love to follow along same as I do. You can find more of my work on instagram where I post my other art as well, some of which might seep into this blog from time to time.
All that said, I wish you a warm welcome once again, and my greatest hope that you stick around and find it worthwhile - there's a long, exciting journey ahead.
