I'm a girl born in Finland, living in America. I love drawing more than anything else and what I enjoy most about it is bringing out emotions within people with my works.

Comic making is something I have tried a few times but only now with my current story do I really feel passionate about it. I'm still new to it, and I can honestly tell there's a lot for me to learn, but I aim to fix those things as I go on. Hopefully you enjoy what I make and can understand if the early stages of my comic are a bit iffy :)

Hello you always amazing peeps!

So big life news coming up: I put in my two weeks at my job and will be spending that time preparing for freelancing! I know it's a big step, but for the first time in my life I feel like I'm prepared for it! (And if it doesn't work out, me and my husband have talked about a back up plan)

So how does this change things? Well one big detail is commissions: I know I'm not going to be able to live off commissions entirely, but they are still part of freelancing and thus considered part of my full time job, so the prices will be lowered a little bit. That's yay for u!

With comics I wish to be more active, especially with Temperature, but my Patreon's do not provide enough for me to live off of them, so my activity with comics will be determined according to my freelancing schedule.

That's pretty much my news. More updates when needed, and feel free to shoot me any questions if you want! Wish me luck!

I'm doing a thing... I'm going to add Temperature to Webtoons so it's easier to read on the phone, panel by panel. :D Temperature will be also uploading here, as a full page upload to those who prefer it.

Reason? Because I spend a lot of time on Webtoons on my phone. I'll be literally sitting on my couch, 5 feet from my computer, and I still prefer to read on the phone.

Announcement for Webtoon launch will be posted here.

Temperature news.

I wanted to let you guys know the current situation so you're not in the dark about the comic status:

Right now my life is extremely busy, a lot of little things like convention prep and online store prep with drivers test and wisdom tooth surgery on the side, but the big reason is because I'm dedicating my time in trying to become a freelancer with my other comic, Marid. My reasons? Marid has simpler style and faster page making, which is why its' story is moving in Chapter 8 and it's easier to keep a steady update schedule with a full time job on the side.

My plan is to work on Temperature, but I can't guarantee weekly posts, which is why the posts will be irregular, and I'm sorry to say this: few and far apart.

That said this comic is not going to die! I just would need two Hannas here so one can go to work and the other stays home... Well, to work. Hahaha!

Once I manage to go freelance, Temperature will turn into a weekly comic once more.

But that's the current situation... I know a lot of people skip these posts so when a page goes up again, I'll be adding this same thing at the bottom of it.

That said: Check out Marid if you're looking for reading material! It is not as action based, but it is a fun read involving drama, humor and supernatural hiding right under our noses. :D

Stay awesome!

Data has returned!!!

My patience has finally been rewarded! After a month and a half of waiting, the data recovery company told me that they have finally recovered all my data, and this afternoon I received the package containing all of it.

I can't begin to describe the relief I'm feeling...! Now I can safely return to my comics and bring both Temperature and Marid back!

I'll do everything in my power to have a page done for next asap! Wish me luck :D

Update on data loss:
Yes, I haven't been lounging around avoiding Temperature. This entire time I've been waiting for the data service to save my files.

The recovery has taken a lot longer than usual due to small issues and apparently a lot of physical issues on the hard drive, but I got an update today on the matter and I was told it would be one more week.

That said, I've been told this before so I'm staying realistic on the matter.

But in either case I want to thank you guys for your patience! You've been awesome <3

I'll give you an update in a week.

Forced hiatus - Data lost

Hi guys.

Some of you have already heard to news, some of you have not...: My external hard drive where I kept all my art files in, stopped working. I don't know what happened but the sad news is: I no longer have access to my Temperature notes or pages I've sketched so far.

I have sent the hard drive to a specialist, but it's going to take a while to hear back and find out what, if anything, can be saved.

Until I hear back, both of my comics will be on a forced hiatus for the time being.

If you want to help me out with this: I'll be starting commissions on Tuesday 8/27 to earn money for the specialist fee. If you can commission, please do. If you can't, spread the word once I make the announcement.

Thanks for reading!

Important news! Temperature is going on short break!

So for the last few months me and my husband have been house hunting. It has been very busy and very tiring progress, but our labor has finally paid off!

Yesterday afternoon we got a house we absolutely loved, so we are officially moving forward with the purchase.

The process in short consists of inspection, official offer, agreement price, and final paperwork. After that we need to look for an electrician to come in and fix all the wiring etc before we can move in.

During this time we'll be busy cleaning the place and then moving our stuff in from the storage unit.

I know for a fact that most of my weekends will be spent doing these things, so to avoid burning myself entirely out, Temperature is going to be placed on a break until me and my husband can officially move into our new place.

Thank you for your patience! I'll let you know as soon as Temperature continues!

Heads up: I'm going to skip next weeks update. An awesome friend of mine is visiting from another state and he is staying with us for the length of my weekend, which means no time to draw. Pages will resume on the 7th of June!
