heyo! i was rereading phantomland from the beginning and i noticed that you bring up the fact that jon has 'hired' amber and elias to work for/with him? it's been mentioned a couple times, so i started wondering! is this something you'll elaborate on, or did the answer just go straight over my head? they all work for cypress, so how would jon 'hire' them? anyway, i thought i'd inquire, but if it's a spoiler or i just ended up asking a really dumb question, i apologize! ;-)

Sup! Thanks for the message. It’ll be more clear later in canon; basically senior officers can assemble and lead/manage their own teams so they can work on bigger tasks together. I couldn’t think of a better word than “hire” but I guess it makes sense if there’s some financial benefit to the whole arrangement.

Elias and Amber work independently most of the time while Jon will call them up whenever he needs them for a thing. They’re pretty lax about the hierarchy though and trust each other like friends

When are you going to do the next page?

Next page is done! I was hoping to finish a second page for today but it’s got a difficult panel in it so I’m not sure yet. Thanks for your interest!

what brushes do you usually use to sketch with?

Hmm what kinda sketches are we talking about? If it’s digital I use a default brush, if it’s my comic I draw on paper.

What do your characters think about art? What kinda reactions would they have in an art museum?

Interesting question, thanks! I can’t imagine the crew having strong opinions about fine arts though, they don’t have a lot of artistic talent themselves either

Anonymous asked:

Do you have previous comics to Phantomland? Since you showed us old designs of your characters I was wondering it C:

I’ve drawn a number of shorter comics before (and during) Phantomland. They’re all terrible, you’re not missing out. But I’ll tell you about two!

My first webcomic I drew over ten years ago. A girl’s mother goes missing so she hires a quirky magic user dude to track her down. It was 100% amateur weebshit (pardon my french), pretty fun at the time but too embarrassing to finish

Later I drew a short comic about a village controlled by a demon and an assassin gal who tries to kill him. The story was pretty decent but I rushed it to hell to enter a contest and wasn’t satisfied with the end product

The demon comic was a prototype of sorts for Phantomland! I liked the character dynamic so I wanted to do it again basically.

Whenever I check your blog and see/remember your icon it makes me laugh 😂 I have a headcanon: When Chie is bored she puts her bow above her head and practices a serious face in front of a mirror but she can't keep it and ends doing that thing👆

Haha what an adorable headcanon…. actually that drawing is from a really old comic strip I probably never put on tumblr before

it kinda makes me sad to not see enough famous. You are quite talentful and you deserve more credit. I know Finnish people are quite modest but please accept my compliments :)

Thank you so much for the kindness! Interesting how you think that way. I’m not famous but my followers make me happy so that must count for something.

I think I’d gain mad fame points+++ if I just worked harder towards it. That’s really all it boils down to. I’m a tired wreck so that’s not feasible atm, but I’m hoping things will get better. Meanwhile I’ll just draw whatever pointless nonsense I feel like drawing. And that’s aaaaalright 👍

Maaria I think that "fashion model Amber" made me pregnant. Don’t ask how it’s possible, I have no idea.

Guess that’ll teach you to wear protection when ogling her! Good luck raising the baby I’m sure they’ll grow up mega attractive

Anonymous asked:

I find Amber to be an absolute delight (it helps that she's my type too tho what a babe +o+ is she into women)

Haha thanks, I’m really happy when people like Amber ;;;

Is Amber into women? The thing is she’s super promiscuous and naughty, like literally having three or four “boyfriends” at a time because she gets bored easily. Some of those could be girls no problem, but I’m kinnnnda uncomfortable making this kind of character represent gay/bi people? Not too fond of the stereotype that LGBTQ+ folks have no ambitions besides getting laid.

So yeah, for that reason I’d prefer she was straight. Who knows if I’ll change my mind for some reason, though :U

Hi Maria! How are you? I can't believe that I FINALLY found you! I followed your work on Phantomland some time ago, and god, I miss it. But seems that most links are broken, do you have other way to find the comic? Also, what you think about revisiting your Harry Potter rule 63? Or doing it with some other franchine, like Avatar?

Hahaaa I’m glad you found me! Nice having you here. I wonder how many people’s radar I’ve dropped out of as I’ve changed platforms and domains and such…

In any case the official homepage is phantomlandcomic.com - have fun reading!

Oh man, HP§63. It’s kinda nostalgic at this point, I remember it fondly but I’ve sorta drifted out of Harry Potter so I’d have to re-read the books before I could draw more. But who knows! That said ATLA is a super important series to me and I definitely should draw something proper about it sometime :U Probs not r63 though, just general stuff!
