I thought that I'd butt in a bit, I've been following your comic since 2011 maybe? You and Leppu lived together then I think? Anyway I was fanatically invested in the first two volumes of this thing. It was the comic that made me gain confidence in self publishing and finnish comic scene in general, which I absolutely loathed back then. You made me think that my own story projects might one day be possible. You and Leppu are two out of three in my holy trinity of senpaidom, I adore your work.
Oh my goodness that’s so flattering to hear, being an actual senpai to someone. Thank you!! Those were the times eh? Tell you the truth I started drawing Phantomland basically because at the time there was a lot of this anti-manga attitude going around which fueled some kinda fighting spirit in me to try to prove that Finns can draw good manga. Dunno if I proved much, it’s not like manga haters would give my work a chance to begin with haha
But truly, nothing’s stopping you from drawing a comic and bringing your stories to life! If you have a pen and paper you can start right away, think about that! Never hesitate, just work!! Good luck with your project kind anon!
