This batch contains Acts 1-4. 24 pages in total.
Compilation of the pages from the first chapter before we do any major edits. They have the most up to date graphics and texts too.
We've also left the old versions on our Patreon for you to download in case you'd like to compare them. :...

This was a bit weird one. But fun regardless!
Karo's initial roughs on top and rest are my spastic sketches and inks. Veeti was finished absolute last because I found myself struggling with his pose.
The hound in the first panel got a complete makeover at a very last stage. As you can see we...

A slightly older concept sketch!
Some of you might remember the Moorfiend primal spirit from the main story and Jack's explanation to Omar.
How likely is it that the boys will run into one on their adventures.

Panels from the latest batch of Small Trolls!
Karo did the initial thumbnail roughs and we discussed swapping the panels around for some more impact. Elli's sketches and inks on top.
The hound's entire design is a bit odd one on purpose. He evidently doesn't follow canine anatomy strictly at...

I'm trying to put together some more detailed examples of the page progress, but half of the time I've gone and deleted the sketch layers to save space and stop my computer from freezing. But fingers crossed some of the earlier files will have some...

There were a couple of pending sketch requests from last month, but here they are!
Boys playing mushroom chess. Mushrooms don't agree with Jáhko's moves.

Let's get the important thing out first: We broke our first goal.
Oh my goodness you dear, dear biscuits and cupcakes. In all honesty we did not expect the goal to break this quick. But it did. And we still have to consider our next goal. Oh my goodnes...
We've reached our very first goal! Quick late night sketch just to thank you all for your support! We'll think of something to thank you all properly once we're both done with holidaying.
But for now, here are Elli's oldest and by far her dearest characters (apart from Woodcarver) from the world o...

Loosely based on the mythology of the great deer ridden by the mightiest of stállu, Riibmagállis. In Tistow, Sarvva is the Elk primal, like the Rat you've met. And much like the Rat, he grants Fjoldi shaman the ability to turn into deer if the right criteria are met.
Or if you're very naug...

Here's our special, small holiday comic just for you Patrons. :3 Little boys exchanging presents.
It's an understatement to say Veeti loves books. Jáhko's family isn't particularly wealthy so any toys he has consist mostly of pine cone animals and s...

Well here's something. Just to show an example on how Karo and I work.
The top two are from Karo's initial paneling sketches of which Elli draws over and dramatizes if it's needed. The very last two panels are the final inks (minus any edits that might still pop up at a later stage) by Elli ...

I love drawing these two prancing about as deer. Step by step of one of the holiday sketches!

Some (small) definition added to the boys' facial structure. This was discussed when we started doing the comic but Elli felt like we didn't act up on it enough.
Jáhko's sharp, the sorta character you wouldn't necessarily trust when you first meet them. The tip of his nose sticks up wheras Veeti'...

This is part of the promised replacement for our page update this month!
Jáhko and Veeti when they met! They're about, 5 and 7 in these.
Veeti at the time was a quite chubby child and spent most of his time reading and practicing cross stitching with his mother. Jáhko was more or less the ...

Sketches by Elli and colours for the bottom three by Karo. ♥
Staying with the shapeshifing theme as it's a very important part of the story, some sketches of the boys as fawns. We'd love to turn these into stickers in the future.

Something for Small Trolls!
Inspired by those crooked pinetrees that are absolutely covered in snow and look like they have droopy heads on 'em. So we thought, why not make a potential monster mythology out of it.

Veeti's sketch by Karo and Jáhko's by Elli! ♥
Adolescent lads! You will eventually get to see them grow up. But it'll be quite a while before we get there.
There's a huge deal of difference in the boys' mannerism in general. Veeti's much more fine and well spoken. Jáhko's well known for ...

One of the kiddy trolls you'll get to meet soon! Larkspur is Jáhko's friend and they share a lot of characteristics both in design and in mannerism.
We wanted him to look quite a bit more feral than Jáhko though.
The top sketches are drawn by Elli and the bottom 'waking up' ones are ...

It's December now everyone! Yeess! And hello to the new supporters~ It's so nice to see you.

Concept art of little Jáhko and his older brother Juoksa.
Jáhko's family are rather split around the country due to work. While his mother has made a rather unusual choice (for a Fjoldi) to work in a city, his brother and father spend most of the year hunting and moving around with their herd of...
