I have a question for each of the main four (Jon, Chie, Amber & Elias): what's your favorite season and why?

Thanks for the votes! Gotta admit I’m a bit surprised by Chie’s popularity, I knew she was liked but didn’t expect a protag like her to be a favorite to this many people. That’s extremely good news though :’)

hi just wanted to say how much i love your comic. I actually think the story line is pretty good. It's very interesting and I can't wait to see where it goes. I also can't wait to see how the relationship between the characters develop.

Aw yisss I’m glad you think so! Thanks for reading! Look forward to future chapters, it’s only going to get better <3 (I hope)

If you could choose real-life actors to play the characters, who would be who? My image was that Elias=Ewan McGregor, Chie=Emi Takei, Amber=Angelina Jolie and Chief=Meryl Streep. Jon is pretty difficult, but I guess someone like Vin Diesel (muscular,"tough guy"-type) would be good.

Hahaa that’s a fun thought…..

I agree with some of those; Emi Takei seems like a real cutie and Chief is actually modeled after Meryl Streep, so those are no-brainers! Angelina Jolie looks a bit too mature for Amber, I’d rather go with someone like Emma Stone. Ewan McGregor’s face is too soft and round for Elias but I found a pic of him with glasses and similar hair so he’s alright until I come up with someone better :D Jon is Tauno Palo!

Old doodle that I found and polished a bit
I had a phase where I really focused on world-building so I tried to design a kind of traditional costume for the region Phantomland is set in. Wanted it to look cool but not too gaudy or impractical....

I read Phantomland webcomic and liked it. It gave me a few thoughst, too. A: Chief of Cypress feels kind of like a Machivellian type of leader, the type that pulls the strings and is capable of ruthlessness and manipulation, even though her motives are for the greater good. B: Do you have an idea what kind of voices the characters might have? (for some reason, I can imagine Elias having a British accent...)

All right, thanks for reading!

Many readers do seem to think the chief is a little suspicious. Clearly she’s got some secret plan in the works but time will tell what it’s all about… in any case, she’s well respected by her people so she must be doing something right!

Elias I do imagine to be British, actually! Maybe because he’s the dapper one so it matches the stereotype, haha. I haven’t thought very much about voices but Elias = slightly nerdy, Jon = sort of dry/raspy, Amber = like a young boy, Chie = clear and sincere but not too high, and the chief = deep and soft. Can’t namedrop any fitting VA’s for these but I’m open for suggestions :)

Kinda amusing how much Thranduil looks like my old version of Chief (circa 2007-2008). I’m really glad I scrapped those designs early ahahah… The headdress was supposed to be some kind of ancient relic with plot device powers I think

Ended up putting more effort to this than planned! In any case, Mikasa love <3

I had a dream about an alternative version of Naruto where the main characters were angry starving street kids being trained into assassins/soldiers
(basically like canon, except less fantasy and more gore)
Anyway it was badass so I tried to sketch...
