Did I mention what I'm currently working on?

I don't think I did mention what I'm working on.

In either case it's the reason why I haven't made any comics since the last one (uploaded the ninth). That, and because somehow I simple am not able to draw them like I want to draw them. They always end up looking weird and telling me "ur doin it rong", at which point I get dejected and take a break. :D

Anyway, bunads!



This is a sample of the bit I'm working on. The whole piece? The same line-up as before, only everyone's wearing a bunad. Except, of course, the Englishman, the Frenchman, the Australian woman and the Russian guy.

For the record, a bunad is a Norwegian national costume worm mostly on May 17. There are many different ones depending on where in the country you're from! Which makes drawing this picture much more exciting, because if everyone was wearing the same I don't think I would have bothered.

The bunad Buster is wearing is from Hallingdal. He's not exactly from there, but it was the closest I could find, and in any case I can invent relatives for him who live in Hallingdal. So there.

My arms hurt, though. I don't have a proper computer desk, so drawing is a bit awkward - not to mention the bed in which I sleep is so small that I have to keep my arms bent at almost all times. So more and more often I have to take breaks from my computer and just keep my arms stretched or relaxed.

Anyway, finished bunad outlines are Østfold, Hedmark, Oppland, Vestfold, Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder. I have also finished Akershus (Asker), but I keep messing up his face, so I need to fix that first.

Edit: Is it a coincidence that the ads in my journal are flights to Iceland?
