As soon as it’s finished and printed :-D Thanks for your interest!

Thing is I’m a little pissed how stupidly long this chapter is taking me so I hope I’ll be motivated to work faster when there’s a constantly shrinking buffer to think about, haha… but yeah look forward to the print version! It’ll be a blast!

“ It’s Maaria’s birthday today yay happy birthday. It’s Maaria’s character Elias, but as a hipster emo dude because I seriously think her webcomic needs more emos.

Awww I’m so happy you drew this

Awww I’m so happy you drew this <3<3 Especially since it’s Elias and there’s not enough drawings of him! Not minding the hipster emo thing at all, I think it suits him alright! Makes him appear a bit younger I guess? Bonus points for the jussi shirt though haha

Anyway thanks H-P you’re hella sweet ;;

Anonymous asked:

A thought just struck me. Has it ever happened that when somebody catches the Ghost virus, the victim's family tries to hide it? That they keep the patient hidden in order for him/her not to be taken to Cypress?

Typically they can’t tell it’s the virus because the person will just appear dead for a few days. Pathologists know what’s up and they have a secret pact to send all the infected bodies to Cypress, while the family receives autopsy results like “heart attack” or somesuch and proceed to have a funeral with a dummy in the coffin.

I guess sometimes people might stumble upon the truth, but reuniting with a ghostly family member tends not to work out too well! Eventually Cypress will seem like a perfect summer camp to dump your creepy amnesiac kid into

What kind of screentones do you use in Phantomland? They look so good. I've tried to make some screentones with Photoshop but they totally suck.

Haha well I’m glad you like them, though honestly my way of doing this probably ain’t the smartest

image

For clothes and other stuff I use a range of solid grays that I run through the grain filter. HOWEVER since it’s a dense cluster of pixels it can come out as a black mess in print unless you really know what you’re doing (1200dpi offset printing and prayers) so I don’t actually recommend this for anyone!

image

For shading I use this simple pattern. Smart people would use only variations of this, only it’s hard to put two patterns on top of each other without causing the ever-annoying Moiré effect so I’m instead combining this with the grain stuff to get a wider range of shades

Anonymous asked:

You told that regular people have many differnet opinions about ghosts and their role in society, but does that apply to ghosts, too? Are there radical groups that believe that ghosts shouldn't even try to blend into society and instead aim to spark a kind of revolution to make them "the master race"?

Haaa that’s a good question, thanks!

I suppose they could be a glorious “master race” in theory since they’ve got all these physical advantages over the regular populace. Everyone’s aware of this, but it’s obviously a dangerous idea to talk about and many ghosts will reject it to begin with. Ghosts are a small minority and the government could easily wipe them out if they got too cocky!
