ABOUT
Who ARE you?
Oh, just a nobody.
No, really. I'm 22-year-old game designer student from Finland. I like drawing comics and videogames are my passion. Just call me Katastrophe and I'm happy.
How did you do this?
It was MAGIC.
No, really. How does one make comics? My way is like this: I make a plan. I write a script. I draw a storyboard. I start sketching out a few pages in completely random order (leaving the most boring pages last. Which is usually my downfall). Then I procrastinate. For maybe a month or so. Then I continue sketching. Then I take my beloved light table and I ink. G-tip pen, Indian ink and very thick (and dreamy) laserjet paper. Then I procrastinate some more. Then I sketch out the boring pages. I swear a lot (and smoke a lot of cigarettes and drink lots of tea and/or energy drinks) and finally get myself to ink the boring pages. By then I hate myself and the whole project. Then I scan. Scanner does its best trying to destroy the pages. Lately I've toned the pages in Photoshop in a very hasty and messy manner. Using a mouse, because I don't have a tablet. Yet. Then I resize, upload - ta-dah! Here it is.
This project however, was a tad bit more complicated. After all, I was getting it printed and everything all professional-like. I had to actually do the entire layout for printing. Everything. By myself. Oh dear that was terrible.
..Didn't you do that godawful Riku/Sora doujinshi with silly jokes and the most horrifyingly OOC baddie cast ever?
Guilty as charged.
I heard this doujinshi can be actually bought! Can I have it in my own shelf?
Well, yes and no. You could buy the doujinshi (I had 50 copies printed to sell at Animecon IV here in Finland), but it's sold out and I am not planning to do another printing. Also, I never intended to ship the doujinshi internationally and so it was a Finland exclusive.
Where can I see more of your work?
Check out my Deviantart account. More stuff can be found from my website Melancholy Protection.
You SUCK!
Yes, I am perfectly aware of that. I can't please everyone, you know.
You're drawing the guys look like GIRLS! YOUR YAOI IS YURI!
=D I can't please anyone, you know. I have my own style, just like everyone else. I portray the characters in my own way. Don't look at it if you don't like it, it's just as simple as that.
Then again, if you have some concrit to offer, please, don't hesitate to do it.
