There has been protests against the closing of a mosque here in Rosengård (where I live) and the young Muslims that protested it did so peacefully.

Then the Police started placing containers in front of the locale to stop them from entering and they got angry, some younger hotheads started fighting and were taken in and returned to their parents, and after that things started to get ugly.

Outside people (non-muslims, AFA) came in and escalated the angry shuts into full blown fighting.

3 days now the streets has been full of people after dark, people that come here only to fight and make the protest what it was not.

Violent.

Stones and rocks has been thrown at police and fire-personnel here to put out the fires that are started by the people sending off fireworks at the police. I can hear the explosions RIGHT NOW, as I write this... and the sirens of the Police cars.

It's annoying how something peaceful can get like this... like the European Social Forum that escalated into a battlezone.

Anyway, I haven't slept during the night for 2 nights now, and seeing as it's already explosions and police everywhere at 6:20 PM... I guess I won't be sleeping much tonight either.

Anyway, I'm staying inside and safe, away from all this crazy shit.

Peace.

Many Names, Many Dreams

This is the newest submission to my character repertoire, IT is a spirit of the forest, a "Väsen" out of Swedish lore. It's based slightly on two Swedish myths about woodland creatures; The Troll (which in Swedish lore used to be beautiful and lure men and women to their lair where they kept them hostage) and the "Skogsrå" (a woman with a rotting wooden back and a fox's tail that presided over the forest and all its creatures, as well as punished the wicked by luring them to be lost in the woods. She was also known to lure men to have sex with her.)

This creature here is a fair androgynous creature that could be either male or female but is really neither. It doesn't have a sex until the person it lures into its embrace shows it his or hers true desire... Then it takes the shape of what they most want... male, female... and give it to them. It doesn't care about Christian morals, it only care about the person's true self... their innermost desires and heart.

In my short story, this creature will take the shape of a man to please the young man it lures to follow it.

Anyway... drawn at much too late an hour... Enjoy.

Smack Jeeves account

I made a Smack Jeeves account today... and added the first few pages of Nerd Culture to it. Here's the link ^^

Nerd Culture

Enjoy ^^

Some doodles and thoughs...

I find it funny that sometimes one can watch something and be so... inspired. I love the Roman era in history and reading about it. I even have quite a few books on Roman history and art... Anyway, I've been watching "I Claudius"... so I drew this last night (in the middle of the night, mind you)... based on the Julio-Claudian era's hairdos and Male standard.

Made with blue pen, and almost dry old ciao copics I had lying around... and then added black afterwards here and there.

I am pretty pleased with him.

And I also drew a picture of the Adviser to the King of the Light
Elves from my lesbo comic I'm working on. His name is Sisur and he's surrounded by scandals. This image was made in the same style as the roman man above.

I also were given an idea for a comic by a friend of mine, Natalia
We were talking about how trolls in swedish myths and stories were actually very pretty, and how John Bauer made people think they weren't with his paintings of ugly old things for the story book for children called "Bland tomtar och troll" (Among Elves and trolls). That discussion led me to draw this image where a man is handed a helping hand by a "bergatroll" (mountain troll). When I showed the image to her, she imediatly had an idea for a story.

So we talked and I wrote the gist of it down and when I got home I sketched out 15 pages of a short, but sweet, male homo story between a man and a "skogsväsen" (Forest spirit, sort of).

The idea is that the "väsen" can take the form the person it meets most desire. It is a sexless thing until the heart of the person it approches are revealed. Taking the proper shape for the encounter, be it male or female. It also only takes the shape of their TRUE desire, even if it may be something they have yet to fully comprehend themselves... like closet homosexuals maybe will be faced by their true nature against their will.

Which is why people warn people to be lured by the creatures of the forest.

^^ Anyway, thanks Natta for giving me this idea.

...back again

Gods, I never seem to remember to update this place. But that will be changed from now on.

This place will be my sketch blog where I'll post stuff in general. We'll see if I make something better out of it in the future ^^

Out for now, with a doodled comic page for a friend on Gaia Online ^^

More sketches!

Aaaannnd another sketchdump... Enjoy. OH! There's porn in these so keep that in mind.

Silly shit between friends ^^

So my friend gives me all these chibi pictures to draw... as in he suggest characters from our on going roleplay (5 years and 2 months now) and a situation (I do the same to him) and we draw it...

These are mine so far.

Returned from SPX

So how was my time there?

It was great! I loved it to bits and I realize I want to do things like this for forever!

So here are some pictures and such ^^

We started the trip at 08:14 on Thursday morning ^^ It was a beautiful day, sunny and chilly, a perfect day for a 4 and a half hour train-ride.

We arrived at Stockholm's Central Station at 12:40 and then started off by panicking over things like luggage and such (or rather... I watched the others do that while I waited for them to finish XD).

We then set off in different groups, Stef Gaines (:devspheru:) to her parents and Lisa Medin to her boyfriend, I went with Valentin (:devdagvalentin:) and his mum. We had lunch and then spent the rest of the day walking around town taking pictures and stuff.

We found this HUGE Birch tree on Thursday so I just had to get a picture of the trunk.




Then I went to a seminar held by Galago (an indie comic book) about the industry. I then went to Stef Gaines and slept at their house. ^^

Day two was pretty much the same as day one, spent the day walking around after having been to Serieteket to register and such... Bought a new dress to wear on Lisa Medin's release party that evening ^^ Then we went and had some hamburgers and hot dogs under the cherry trees on Kungstorget (King's Square).





Then we went with Lisa and the rest to Street (a hip pub by the channel in Stockholm)

Here's Stef being drunk and funny XD




Valentin, Robin (:devstyggelse:) and me...





Then we went home and slept again.

The day after was started early because we had tables to set up and things to do. I and Robin set up the School's table and I also set up mine and Valentin's table.

School's table... and Robin by it XD.





More setting up around SPX...





Stef and her boyfriend Kent...




Lisa and Antilla (an arranger of SPX)





Old friends ^^





Random awesomeness...





That day was also the day of the SPX dinner (which was a disaster but whatever) I got my chance to take a picture of Stan Sakai (creator of Usagi Yojimbo) and Chris Staros from Top Shelf Productions http://www.topshelfcomix.com/ Which was awesome.

Mr Sakai and Mr Staros...





...and me with them XD It was their idea ^^;;





So we ate dinner and then had a nice evening at Stef's place watching The Wall by Pink Floyd.

The last day of SPX was calmer but still fun ^^ Mr Staros had a look at our stuff and that was awesome. I went home that evening by night bus... came home about 07.05 the next morning, went straight to school and spent the day listening to Chris Staros talking about the industry and how it looks in the US.



Alice Engström (:devmiss-collie:) and Valentin doing the Domokun thing XD






And that was my AWESOME weekend at SPX!

Project images.

So, more art for my project...

Caterpillar

Leander

More project babble.

So, writing steadily on my project. Most designs I have are inspired by many things like Farscape, Swedish flag, french royals and all kinds of other sources.

I love drawing upon other things to create my own things. Sure, wonderland is a great book and (not so great) Disney movie... I myself prefer the Hallmark version of the adaptation to the screen.

Anyway... the fanart that my friend did for me of my character Lander for this project has boosted my creativity fly as well. Thanks Valentin. ^^

Alice of Wonderland.

Well for my comic project. A steampunk adventure.

Queen Alice of Wonderland.

Steampunk.

Soo... been trying to figure out what theme I should have on my Kemi entry... (Scandinavian Comic contest held in Finland) and I came up with a Alice in Wonderland inspired Steampunk comic.

Or rather my resent line of Wonderland drawings has been the inspiration to my comic.

http://omegasama.deviantart.com/art/Queen-of-Hearts-lineart-79021296

It's a hundred years after Alice went to wonderland and Wonderland is changed. Pollution and misery resides in the very fabric of Wonderland and everything is made of metal.

http://omegasama.deviantart.com/art/Steampunk-79628269

The only way to see Wonderland is to install illegal mechanical eyes that connects you to "the link" and lets you see Wonderland as it used to be.

http://omegasama.deviantart.com/art/Main-Character-design-79827804

Sooo... that's the main character so far, I have another as well, Leander, the maker of the mechanical eyes.

I'll finalize his design tomorrow.



Also. I take commissions:

$20-$25US for lineart, depending on detail (add $10/extra character).

$50-$100US for a coloured image, depending on details and number of individuals in the image ($100+ includes shipping and getting the original).

Daemon.

My Deamon is a Lion it seems ^^



Silly to do these kinds of tests, but I can say I honestly love them. ^^ And the Daemons are awesome anyway.
