Did some croquis to practice clothing and especially all those folds of the fabrics - they're so stressful sometimes! #art #sketch #croquis

There are multiple characters that will never have part in Birds Who Sing by the Graves' timeline BUT who are important for the main cast before or after the story. I have plans to eventually make extra short comics about these relationships once the main story is done. (Whenever that'll happen.)

I want to share this ever evolving monster of an inspiration playlist 🤍 open.spotify.com/playlist/24l... #playlist #comic

Rauno-Kai and his flock of hooded crows 🐦 #art

I'm not going to lie, these two are my personal favorites among the comic's characters. There are a lot of sad and oppressive themes through the story so it's soothing to have at least some who are mostly happy with their lives. #art

KAARLO is a young boy who is as quick on his feet as he's mysterious. Few of the villagers can understand him but he's well loved. ALEKS is the moral leader of the town. While the townsfolk are equal and democratic, some guidance is never a bad thing - or is it? #comic #introduction

SAARNI is slow to warm up and keeps to themselves, but are nice when you get to know them! IVAR keeps the spirit of everyone high, he's always active, inventive and social. JOONATAN is another introvert of the town, a gentle giant with steady personality and strong loyalty. #comic #introduction

INGER can be strict but she's resourceful and always on time and ready, often handling work of others as well. She takes care of Kaarlo. SALMA is a sunshine, trying to find positivity wherever she can. She's capable and fast to act when she sees opportunities to better her life #comic #introduction

INGA is the grandma of the whole village, always happy and making sure everyone is comfortable. She can be a little forgetful, but means well. UNTO is the grumpiest of the villagers, and he will always be displeased with absolutely everything! These two can't stand each other. #comic #introduction

JIENA is the character through whom we start exploring the new world. She's confused and unsure of her surroundings, but who wouldn't in her shoes? RAUNO-KAI is the first person - or creature? - she sees after her arrival. His ominous appearance raises more questions. #comic #introduction

The comic is still on hiatus and the pages on Webtoon and Tapas are back from 2018 when I still drew it... ancient! But I want to give a sneak peek of the process I'm making right now. I won't start updating them before I have enough of a buffer, I hope it won't take long... 💚
