[White Noise] Sven

Sven was big and chubby as a teenager and starting his 20s. He started working out until he gained more self confidence in terms of his body. 

His relationship with Ida or Ina (didn't decide on a name yet) lasted pretty long.

He seems totally different now and then, so weird to get him right! Also beard or no...

[GG] English Cover Sketches?

Kickstarting the English book versions G&G  is taking shape in my head lately. Here are some first cover ideas. I'm not too sure about them - I really like the legs, but they seem more like novel covers and are maybe too flat in terms of color/shading?

First one is Piet, second Tim.

Faces would be good, b...

[GG | Spin-Off] Linus

Some Linus'es and Piets. Still haven't defined Linus enough yet, but he's a brat. Unsure of how buff he should get haha

[GG | v3] Common Room

Part of the bonus content of G&G volume 3. 

The common room! I think there's more than one common room on Tannenberg, but this is the one I used so far. 

... I just remembered Sam sitting in the top right corner. I totally forgot about him. (sorry Sam) Sam will bloom one day.

[LIMITED] Pillow Cases

There is a new addition to my store! Soft pillow cases!

A collegue ordered some anyway and asked if I wanted to join them. So here are 3 limited designs of a 45x45 cm pillow case (filling not included). 

There are only a few available and when they're gone, they won't be reprinted. So if you want some, get th...

[White Noise] Cover Sketches

Which one of A/B/C do you like best? 

The rest are discarded sketches. I liked the one with Henrys profile,  but didn't know how to color it. 

I think big planes work best because they create this wide feeling of air and sky and freedom but also hint at (rapidly) moving clouds. ...

[GG] Lukas

1. Lukas (16 but looks like 18+?)

2+3. kids Lukas and Piet

[White Noise] It's getting more serious ...

It started as a fling, now he's moving in (or maybe not (yet)).

Seriously though, Henry/ Sven was supposed to only last a few weeks until Henry went back home. But they're working too damn well. This wasn't planned. 

Sven is also a dad, but of two girls. 

1. Sven+Henry
2. Svens daughters Charlo...

[White Noise] Storyboard Snippets

Sorry, I have to share a bit of the pages I did this week. Some panels are cropped out to leave something to look forward to.

The pages are in no particular order.

Henry and Sven basically consist of their jawlines, it's quite funny that they define them so much. Young characters often don't need jawlines.

[GG | v3] Guest arts

May I present those gorgeous fanarts some artists drew for the printed volume *_*
I absolutely love them all. It's always so fun to see who each one is going to choose and how they interpret them.

Check out their galleries (their social media accounts are in the pics)!

[GG | Spin-Off] White Noise

Working title is "White Noise" since the ocean and inner turmoil reminds me of it. 

The first 4 were already posted on social media (Nr. 2 is an alternate version of Nr. 1). 

For the actual comic, I want to use that look: black, white and one shade of grey. Loose lines. It will be a challenge!

[GG | v3] Double Spread Illustration

Molle: *desperate
Tim: *full of pity but not refusing to help him

(I feel like I already shared this picture but I didn't find a post? Maybe I'm having stream-déjà-vus)

[GG | Spin-Off] Henry+Sven

So I started working on this.

Some of you might have read of my struggle with writing G&G. I'm taking a break from it now and decided to dive straight into a new project since I wanted to do that anyway. No worries - G&G will be continued :)

Henry+Sven seems perfect. At least drawing the first round of co...
