Scandi-Merica #12 - Lake

 

Sven thought the fisherman needed lake access for food.

This is the third strip in the first Scandi-Merica story arc that stretches across several comics, read the previous here

While story wise this is kind of an in-between strip, I really enjoyed drawing Sven's expressions here as well as the contrasts between the colors in the inks. The purples, magenta, orange/red, and turquoise really compliment each other well. The colors also kind of remind me of artwork of Þor and Hymir fishing for Jörmungandr, the Midgarð Serpent, from an 18th century manuscript of the Prose Edda.

All art, writing, penciling, inking, and coloring created by me.

Scandi-Merica #11 - Fish

 

Turns out the speed lines were coming from a fisherman, but why is he in the village waters?

This is the second strip in the first Scandi-Merica story arc that stretches across several comics, read the previous here.

I'm really enjoying how the colors look when I do them simultaneously with the inks, and it helps me with using thicker more distinct lines, I feel it makes the colors and characters 'pop' out of the frames more. Also, similar to Scandi-Merica #8, I played with the frames a bit, with some text and characters popping out of the frame borders.
