Here is a colored pencil sketch from my upcoming teaser for my comics project Everyone loves... Currently I'm going clean up to tighten it up.

Take care!

A review

A couple of months ago a publication that I was a part of got reviewed, Plutonium comics 12! And I and my colleague was mentioned in the review! If you would like to read it you can pick up Bild och Bubbla no 1, 2016.

"Till de mer gripande serierna hör Beskedet av P-G Lidström och Jan Kustfält..."

Translation:

Among the more gripping comics are The Reply by P-G Lidström and Jan Kustfält...

It felt awesome to read that and I'm very happy for the kind words!

Take care!

Violin making: experimental f-holes

Since there was some time ago since my last update, I thought it would be a good time now to share with you some experimental f-holes for the violin!

Some are made only for laughs, and for the fun of it; and some I think would actually work.

Far left you see the Guarneri f-hole 1734, and where it is supposed to be situated next to the center bout. The rest are my more experimental ones. For the second image I've taken a Guarneri f-hole and erased the part between the two circular holes that ends the f-hole. Theoretically this might be an improvement when it comes the the varnishing process, since the varnish likes to stick in the small spaces in the f-hole. Just for the fun of it I've named it Guarneri v. 2.0...

Take care!

Character design touch up

Here are the characters again with a few minor touch ups being done. I guess the rest of the quirks that needs to be attended, will sort them selves out, when I start using the characters.

Take care!

Here are the main characters for Alla älskar... (Everyone loves...)

Here are the main characters for Fanny V.

And here are the main characters from Hämnare i Rött (Avenger in Red).

Plutonium no 12

I'm published, again! And as you probably know by now, there is a story...!

It started several years ago, when I asked my friend and draughtsman Jan Kustfält if he would be interested to do the pencils on one of my scripts. I might've had this idea about a short story when I asked him or, I came up with the story afterwards, my memory isn't quite clear on that fact. Anyway, he said he was interested and shortly I wrote this script with him in mind as penciller!

I sent it to him and he said he was going to it! And now this autumn it's published! Feels great! It's been out for a couple of weeks, and I'm still very proud! The book was released during the Book fair here in Gothenburg earlier this autumn. I tried to get as many dedications as I could in my issue!

And now you ask how was it like to write something that you were not going to pencil yourself? It felt awesome! I think it has do with the fact that I wrote the story with that in mind, that I wasn't going to do the pencils on this one.

Plutonium is an anthology magazine (or book?) that is published yearly, edited by Per Myrhill. It contains loads of Swedish comics artists and international artists as well. If you are interested in whats happening in the Swedish comics scene I recommend you to check it out! But then off course I'm biased...!

Below you will see some photos of the book and the dedications that I got!

Take care

Character design is now done!

It's done, and it's not just done, it's donnelly-donnelly-done-done! Well...although it's done, there are some small quirks that needs to be addressed. I've just fixed the last details, the details that I noticed when I looked at them on my kitchen wall. I think that the last minor details will sort themselves out when I start with the teasers.

Writing about the teasers... They will have the form of a trailer but I will not use drawings from the actual story, because it doesn't exist yet! So they will be trailer-esque, you might say. I've written short scripts that introduce the characters and possibly the story, so that one can get acquainted with the story and the characters. And more important, they get me a chance to see if I can pull it off and also to try the characters out, before I delve into one of the projects for real!

Take care!
