Character from my webcomic!
I’ve actually hated the blackcoat uniform for a good while now because I designed it 10+ years ago and it’s… it’s just bad. The coat is supposed to be a symbol of violent oppression to the point where most people freeze or panic when they see it. It has to look better than this
We should see the new coat in the next chapter! I might be able to write it in pretty smoothly
👌
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

I doubt most of these guys will have actual roles in the story (hell I can’t even come up with names) but I need to design them anyway. Might end up changing some later, I’m still not 100% satisfied
The blackcoats have the most demanding jobs and highest pay; the rank is given only to a handful of people with special talents/merits so that’s my excuse for the wacky descriptions. They shouldn’t be too boring in case I end up having some use for them!
Uuuhh idk who’s your favorite?
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
Character from my webcomic
Spoopy mode in color! Lore time: it’s the final stage of the virus infection. Nobody knows for sure what triggers it but the host starts to act weird and dies within a few minutes. It can be reversed with drugs but they need to be taken early or the host ends up with brain damage
You said in one of your posts that Elias hates Amber, is there some info I haven't seen on why that is or will it be revealed later on? I haven't noticed any evidence so far in art you do of them. It seems a bit strange to me that he would dislike Amber yet be friends(ish) with Jon (being how he is when it comes to doing his job).
Thanks for asking! You know how siblings despise each other and get into petty fights all the time? But when shit gets real they’ll still help and support each other? It’s a lot like that
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:
It’s good to have friends who have hot characters so I can draw them in some NASTY LATEX GEAR YEAH!
I would’ve added a gas mask, too but this already got out of hand, I was just going to doodle a sketch fffffffffffff..
Character is Jon from Phantomland
IT’S GOOD TO HAVE FRIENDS WHO DRAW NAUGHTY STUFF ON MY BEHALF. Hahaha thanks man!! I’m very flattered you like him so and truly can’t disagree with this outfit you put on him! Well done 👍👍
I don’t always draw fanart, but when I do, it’s hella spoilery.
I’ve been thinking of drawing proper fanart of Phantomland for ages. The recent events are sooo delicious! I can hardly wait to see where things go next.
Everyone go read @maariamph‘s Phantomland right now if you haven’t already.
EDIT: fixed an eye situation~
Anniiii oh my god! I still fondly remember the first fanart you drew me so I’m super excited you drew another one! I love how you pulled off the glow/smoke effect in color, it’s exactly like I intended! The katana also has really pretty detailing which caught my eye ;;; wehh thank you!!
I guess this pic’s technically a spoiler but I’m thinking screw it, it’s too cool not to reblog. If the sight of a spooky man in uniform intrigues you please read my comic to find out what it’s all about, haha
@hannapirita requested Jon in kigurumi so here’s Jon in kigurumi!
