So, here, one-page sneakpeeker for you lot! Like for the first book bundle, it had it's own little 8 paged extra chapter "To Lapland". The second book bundle will have this one. :3
Don't really have much to add. Oh, except this: This little booklet will contain all the Patrons names in a pretty list when this goes to prin...
It's been a while since we've had a concentrated few days just for Small Trolls with all the busy things we've had, and we're very happy to show you some proper progress on things! :3 After this, Chapter 1 will have one more act, and then we should be able to wrap up our intro chapter to Small Trolls.
In case you're new and yo...

Elli's computer has hit a snag and needs to be sent off to be repaired. I'd like to sell off some of my print stock to help out with the costs and as I'm going to be computerless on top of that, I can't work on any digital sketch commissions for a while. Anyone who's interested in helping out will get these prints in turn. ♡ ...

Whei finally got some greyscale valued pages for you all!
Finishing touches and edits will be done once the whole chapter is completed and colour added, but before then, we've got it for our Patrons to read at least!
Do let me know if you spot anything odd or if something's not clear to read. And if you want to share the...

Friday's sketch commissions! Only got a few done tonight, unfortunately due to the passing of one of our ratties. :<
Hence the quite ratty themed sketches too. Thank you Flik for suggesting drawing Beth with Gabe. ♥ Loved doing all of these. Cheered me up a lot.

Most of last night's haul that was streamed!
I'm taking sketch commissions to pay off some unexpected medical bills. If you'd like one, prices are as follows:
£10.00 for one character (coloured)
£15.00 for two characters
£20.00 for two characters and a backgroun...
Quite an old set of thumbnails now, of a scene where Anna's meant to meet Jackdog for the first time. Whether or not this scene will see any use, I can't say. For starters it was done with the wrong dimensions. *rolls eyes* And while I want to show Anna as a bit of a spiteful grump in this, I'm not too sure it quite fits (even w...

More sketches from earlier this year!
Jack has some unusual ways of trying to make friends with people and Morrie likes her Sundays off.

Of various things. I've been going through my folders and trying to work out which of the less spoily ones I can colour and show.
..So here's some. Couple of Veetis and Jáhkos. Anna with a kid who you'll briefly get to meet in the 2nd chapter called Alfie. And even a little sketch of Anna if she was a member of Ieva's troops ...

Slightly self-indulgent late night sketching. Anna cheers me up whenever I'm feeling poorly and I've found myself drawing her a lot lately.
I said a while ago that Loksley's the only lady to wear trousers in public in the comic, but there's plenty of girls in the story who'll dress up as gentlemen to conceal their identity. Or...

Let's see how the mobile app works. Bit laggy so far.
Update on the mobile app: It's pretty terrible to write with.
Credit to Karo for coming up with this! I've acquired some brass eyelets and ribbon to go with the bookmarks. Initially I kinda fancied the idea of using lace of some sort to go with the Victorian theme for...

Morrie's and Loksley's turn! Plenty of work to do with these two still, but we're getting there. I've had a nice restful week and drawing these has definitely helped with that.
Fun fact: Both of them are originally roleplay characters, Loksley who in part belongs to me. Their roles in RP were not dissimilar to what they'll be ...

Uff took me a while to do this post! I've finally gotten some colourings done, first off I just concentrated on getting linearts made and for the past few days I've been simply focused on finishing colours, and I'm finally over that half-way mark to getting this chapter done.
The only thing I've not sketched for this chapter ...
After some fighting with CMYK and gamut warnings, finally done with these two. *groans*
The bookmarks will be printed without the dark blue borders.
Next up for the cast bookmark batch are Morrie and Loksley, then Veeti and Omar. If I have time before the print, I'd like to do one of the urchins (Tag and Legs) as well. 2017-08-16 13:59:06 +0000 UTC View Post
I've been struggling with fatigue so getting anything done is great. I'd like to do a rain themed set of bookmarks of the main cast to eventually use as profiles on the website too.
Here's two of the 6 I've got inked so far! Jack and Anna. Colours will be added for the finished lot.

We've been running Patreon for almost a year now and it's time to do some small amendments to our tiers!
The only one that has changed though, is the Soup Kitchen. The amount of projects we've taken on has more or less doubled in the last 8 months which means we now have much less time to build buffers for Small Trolls (The ot...

Hello there! Something different considering Small Trolls art this time, Karoliina did the lineart, and Elli filled in with the colours.

I'm currently juggling 4 projects at the same time, 2 which I unfortunately can't share with you. This means I'm too overbooked to look at mending the Small Trolls buffer for our Patrons. It's likely my schedule will remain like this at least until November.
