End of the month and hiatus announcement

I will be gone for a while (not sure for how long exactly). I have fallen ill (nothing too serious, but can possibly take a while) and my PC has had some problems.

I also have too much in my hands in the coming month(s?), so I don't think I'll be able to produce satisfactory amount of content for Patreon.

Thank ...

September sketches

This sketch format has been pretty fun (trying to fit as many of them next to each other and having them interacting with each other). What did you think of the content this month?

Some FDF vehicles, this wraps up the Chapter III. The collection of shorter 1-2 page stories and skits is a better format for comic like this in my opinion, and it seems to me that you have preferred it as well.

13 000 BC

A lot of guessing when drawing this hunter-gatherer, since there simply isn't much clothing left that we know of. While this may still be somewhat generic, I wanted to get her a more tidy look. I think it would be safe to assume that people were practical and took care of their appearances even if resources were limited.

August sketches

Thank you for another great month! What did you think about the content?

Danish half-ghillie suit

Shame that the Danes replaced their own flecktarn pattern, it's one of my favorites

The early combat vests are interesting, might do Canadian and US ones from the same period as well

How have you liked the content this month?
Big thanks to you Patreon supporters once again!

Firing range (1/2)

1980's SAS (British DPM windproof uniform)

drawing that DPM sample took a while, but I think the proper overprint look and ability to adjust the colors later is worth it

WiP

Junttila grindset

There's always one guy in the unit who does this

Finnish Lotta Svärd M/21 uniform and Civil Guard (Suojeluskunnat) M/18 uniform

Both these uniforms were in use in Helsinki region. The region-specific variant of M/18 uniform was most likely adopted after the Civil War.

French F2 uniform (mixed CCE and CD pattern)

I love the French uniforms so much

Kaitanen in M/65 uniform

Apparently, duty officer having an old bayonet ready somewhere was a practice in the 70's in some units

Rahko

"Rahko" is not just a surname, but also a name of an ancient Finnic pagan deity. She's the friend of a thief, all nocturnal animals and, perhaps, a cunning warrior as well. Darkening the moon is her responsibility, resulting in the phases of the moon.
