Chillin’ at their cribs
I was supposed to do one quick doodle but ended up with a whole set. No refs or vanishing points used so stuff may look wonky
Damn these are so old (2012) but I like them! And they’re still pretty accurate :O I can’t wait to show more of their homes in canon
A portion of my readers are always craving for evidence that Jon Actually Cares but I’m sorry my dudes that’s just never the case
Hey guys! In case you were wondering about the several-weeks-long hiatus…
I just wanna make it clear I’m not planning to abandon Phantomland. I still love it, it’s my precious widdle baby and I think about it every day. However it’s also an ambitious project that gives me stress and I can’t handle any extra stress at the moment. I need to improve my health and pull my shit together before I can work a dayjob and a webcomic at the same time. It takes time, but… it’s happening. Eventually. I can do this.
“But Maaria you’ve been drawing a lot of random shit lately???” I have. If I stop drawing I start to feel like a part of me is dying, so I have to draw something. The difference is that fanart and random shit don’t burden me with deadlines or other pressures so it suits me better right now. Tbh I’m kinda happy I finally have an excuse to get all these random ideas out of my brain! Some of them have been brewing in there for years!
To my readers: if you’re sick of my fickle bullshit and won’t bother coming back to my comic I understand completely. My life is changing and Phantomland is no longer a project that I’m hoping to make a career out of; it won’t become a steadily ongoing webcomic blockbuster, but it WILL maintain it’s own humble existence nevertheless and be a lasting source of fun for me (and hopefully others??).
TL;DR: When will the updates resume? I’m not sure yet, but this time I’m drawing myself a decent buffer before I get back to weekly updates. Hopefully it happens before summer’s over!
don’t worry maaria i wouldn’t know either how to react to something like this
@garama told me at a convention today that he’d drawn me a birthday card YEARS AGO that somehow totally flew under my radar! Tragedy! Look what glory I’ve been missing out on!!
Their pimp ride is Wooden Car that I designed early in my artistic career:
Damn this is from ~5 years ago… I used to put a lot more effort in my illustrations. Need to step up my game!!
Characters from my webcomic
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
Turnaround assignment for animation class, I picked Chie because I can draw her in my sleep. Might get rid of some details for animating tho
