#FAQ #phantomland #original works #fanart
I’ve been steadily losing followers after posting that Eetu & Konna video… I’m sorry I put you through that guys
Is Phantomland set in a completely fictional world or in a semi-real world like Tintin, Bleach, etc.?
It’s a fictional world but modeled after Western Europe more or less, with a similar history and culture :>
Here’s a map I drew a while ago (gonna redo it sometime). This is a country that used to have a big empire but gradually lost it and finally had to defend against invaders in a WWII-like scenario. I need to design the geography so the events would make sense in it… somehow…
So glad to have this page out of the way… Thanks for all your support, guys :’D Now let’s hope I can keep up the diligence with the rest of the chapter aheheh
Improvement hell day 29 (fanart)
I’m not very good at fanart…
Wow damn did I get good karma from inking that painful page?? Awesome fanart, this really made my day, thank you <3<3 I love this shade of purple! Also I can imagine Jon getting pestered by random cats for no reason hahaha :D

annalandin said: Give those rooms to the club-goers - voilá, problem solved!
formerlyanon said: they could just create storage areas around it, as well as soundproofing. And the rooms near the club would be in demand by those intending to be patrons, since they wouldn’t want a long trip back to their rooms
Ahaha thanks for the logic, guys :D
mesherew said: some of the hotels in my town have clubs like that, don’t worry ^^
Alright, good to know!
a hotel with a club in the middle sounds actually like a valid business-plan
Yeeeah but I’m sure any guests sleeping right next to the club would have a great time dealing with noise and drunk people :’)
Almost there… btw this building makes no sense (who builds a hotel with a club in the middle???) but I’ve stopped caring about it and I’ll just assume none of the readers will care either :-D It’s all for the sake of the plot
Let's play around a little more with the idea of Phantomland live-action movie (there was already some talk about actors). Who would you prefer as a director? Who would you like to do the soundtrack?
Luc Besson for director because he’s good at both serious stuff (Léon) and fun stuff (Fifth Element)
Yoko Kanno for soundtrack because I can’t count the times her music has made some anime feel downright magical
Ahhh why must you make me fantasize about this stuff………
chiropteraland-deactivated20151 asked:
Hi! I like over the top animation a lot too and I'd give you an advice about the one that you just posted: Almost everything there is good, except for how the punched-guy reacts. In the small phase where it's in slow motion, you should already give him a little recoil, like if his head was going before the body, it will make the impact even more brutal C:<
Ahhhhhh~ of course! I forgot to consider that :D Really good advice, thanks!
I sometimes see this kind of over-the-top punch in anime and I kinda love it so I tried it myself. Still needs a bit more edge I think
I doubt I’ll clean this up anytime soon though, I have much more important shit to do atm ;;;;; weh
foervraengd said: quick question! how thick bleedlines do you use for your comic pages? just curious uvu
My printhouse requires 2mm bleeds so it translates to 4mm in the original drawing (because it’s twice as big)
This is the first page of chapter 4. I drew it months ago… I still haven’t inked it
for some reason
The sketch isn’t even that good - the windows are a bit wonky - but I can’t be arsed to start over :( thug lyfe
