Hiii, I'm still alive! I made a few more books while I was gone. Still no English language deal, but I'm switching agents in January, so fingers crossed! I do, however, have a French deal now! So book 1 is available in French already and book 2 should come out in early 2025✨
Do you take commissions? Love your art style!
Awww, thank you! Unfortunately, I don't take commissions. I draw comics full time, so I just don't have the time or creative energy for it anymore!
How she looked after she came with Rook at the ritual site is nothing compared to when Taash is done with her
I'll never leave them both un-romanced, but I ship them so hard
What if... When Dragens Øye (2) finally comes out in English... Torlak becomes the next tumblr sexyman..!
I'd be canceled after book 3
Maybe you can work with @negativelegend to make a "What is Nordic Manga" video? Talking about the different ones and they can throw in "subtle" hints that they can be filled into the survey over at Seven Seas Entertainment..! This just if both of you want to of course! All I can say is, thank you for making Dragens Øye, it's amazing!
Thanks for the suggestion! And for all the other suggestions of how to gain more attention around my comic <3
Even though it might not look like it from the outside, my publisher is working very hard to make the best promo opportunities happen for me and the others, and this year they even got a PR team involved! We also have agents working in different countries to help us get translation deals, and whenever I suggest a publisher to them, they report back that they're already in touch😂
So right now I just lean back and work hard on book 4 while knowing that Egmont is doing an amazing job at promoting my work <3
(Of course, if a youtube or podcaster contacts me I'll consider doing it, but I'm not gonna go around asking for it, at least not now that I have my hands very full trying to finish book 4 for an early fall release!)
Dragens Øye 1: exciting but too much happens at once and the first chapter is rather confusing as there's so much happening at once.
Dragens Øye 2: We meet new key players in the story like Bjarki, Jomar, Ulf, and Torlak, but doesn't feel like the story is really moving much forward
Dragens Øye 3: here the story is really moving forward and many new characters (Markus final boss? Major character maybe dead? D:) , and closer look at how the story thus far has affected them, I love it! Except for the death though, rewind that.
Also I just noticed. So since I moved between book 1&2 and because of covid and life™, book 1 is still in a box... Because of book 3... The spines are going to make a rainbow aren't they? ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💓😄
Are you going to go roggbif (the most colorful of all steaks) or roggtblm?
I don't like stories that take too long to get properly started, so book 1 has a lot happening very quickly. But if I were to re-write it now I'd make a whole book out of just the 1st and 2nd chapter. Then shorten the fight in book 2 to merge it with the remaining bits of book 1. Maybe in a year or two, I'll see things I'd I wish I had done differently with book 3 as well. Live and learn and improve! Dragens Øye is going to be an amazing comic as a whole, but I hope my next comic is even better!
And, yes, the spines will make a rainbow at the end! But since I only have 6 books planned, it's going to be the basic old pride rainbow. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈
I read dragens øye nr3 two days ago and i still think about it and smile :3 its definetly my fav norwegian comic of all time
Omg, thank you so much!! I swear, being a published comic artist/author is so weird. I spend a year making a book and then it's out and people read it, but most people don't tell me about it, so I'm just sitting here like "???? did people like it??? no idea, let's make another!" so it just absolutely makes my day whenever someone tells me they read it and enjoyed it!!
I’m late to the party but I just saw your dysphoria comic and it was like looking in a mirror. It is so validating. I am always super hesitant to think about myself that way because I feel like it’s not enough to define it that way and I don’t want to appropriate or cheapen what trans people feel. But I do weightlifting and have literally that haircut and I’m actually hopefully getting a breast reduction this year. So thank you for letting me know that it’s ok to think more about my gender I guess. Weird that I felt like I needed permission.
If you need more validation just check out the replies and tags! There's lots of people out there who feel exactly the way we do <3
There are a couple of terfs in there, but there's also people dunking on them!
Fingers crossed you get that breast reduction!
I hurt my leg so I can't go to the library and borrow the newest book... And it suddenly went up for me! I don't remember the name of Jomar's father because of the memes... Because of the memes I just remember "Dragon daddy" and it bothers me that I can't remember no matter how much I try 😭
Torlak! I have to think to remember sometimes too... He's just Dragon Daddy in my head.
Hope your leg gets better soon!
Hello! do you think you will ever release Dragens Øye in danish or english? i cant read norwegian super well unfortunately ;; sorry if youve gotten this question already i genuinely dont remember if ive sent it before ajkrlfjkklr
Danish release: Good news, this one already exists! I don't know why they made the title black on the cover, but I have this at home and the inside looks great!
English release: My Norwegian publisher and their/our US agent are working on it! I went to New York in December to meet some potential publishers and stuff, but these things take ages. But it might actually help if people who want to read my books just email US publishers and tell them you’d buy these books if they published them. I’ve heard a few stories of that working! Similar books to mine have been published by oni press and wonderbound, and I think top shelf productions might be a good fit too.
When I first wanted to read Dragens Øye, I ordered the first book from Outland and discovered it was signed when I received it.
With book three I was constantly on the lookout for it and *still* missed the window between release and when it was sold out. Now I can't find it anywhere and my feet are sore from looking.
If that's not growth and a glowing review of the series I don't know what is!
It's not sold out, it just hasn't arrived at the stores yet! 😅
I know the websites all said it'd be out on the 5th, but that's the date when the books would arrive at the main warehouse and start being shipped to the bookstores (I got mine then because they send a handful to the publisher with express shipping). I'm signing the preorders on Monday, so Norli Universitetsgata will have them by then at least! Then all the other bookstores will follow, a couple of hours or days later.
that ask is complete BS, pay it no mind.
i’m a person of color and i legit cried when i read your comic. it means so much to me so i shared it with my friends and they felt the same way — seen for the first time. it’s your work and you can do as you like with it but my god anyone saying it’s racist or whatever needs to get their head out of their you know what.
you’re a wonderful person and i’ll be forever grateful you shared your story with us
thank you!!!
