Minnasundberg.fi - Art and stuff

Bla bla and such, May 15: Take a peek in the Tutorials section, there's a brand new one. :D

May 12: New entry in the art log, with some stuff about both the Rabid Unicorn picture from a couple of weeks ago and the newest piece in the gallery.

April 26: And that's the end of the god-awful pages, so it's back to two pages per week again. But I'll be upping the update count to a permanent three times a week once summer holidays come around.

April 1: New month, new stuff, so several updates at once. A new page of course, and a new majorish illustration in the gallery.Aaand a new voting incentive on TWC! It's the colored sketch for the new illustration. I really appreciate any votes given, I know I can't
really compete with the more established webcomics yet, but since it's a new month it might be possible to get aRTD up on the top 100 for a few days if enough people vote. So yaay for those who do, and hugs. Lots of hugs. =^^=

New here and have no idea where "here" is? Simpy put, this the online portfolio of Minna Sundberg, AKA me. That's not exactly "portfolio" as in "only the most shining gems of my artistic production allowed", rather "things I've spent enough time working on that not publishing them feels like a vaste". The galley also features older works of mine from a few years back, because I know it's enjoyable to see crappy, old artworks from people and comparing them to the newer stuff. At least I enjoy doing that, a lot. (Not with my own art though, doing that makes me go like this: σ_σ, and then I'm deeply ashamed. )

And then there's the webcomic (or online graphic novel, if one prefers the fancier term) titled "a Redtails' Dream" which is in many ways my main project right now, and therefore also the most extensive part of this site. It's updated twice a week, and as I plan on finishing the whole thing before I graduate there's a pretty tight schedchule for me to keep here.

The purpose of the comic is simple and definite: to help me develop as an artist in a way that merely doing illustrations just won't do, and give me confidence in my skills. It is intended solely as a practice comic for me (one that I take very seriously, mind you) meaning not a single page will be redrawn, no matter how much I want to both rewrite and redraw chapter one. And two. Aaand probably chapter three too, once I'm done with it. Sheesh...

The journal is there for stuff that doesn't deserve to be posted in the gallery, yet interesting enough to be posted somewhere. Sketches, work in progress-screenshots, school projects and other generic things of the sort. The journal isn't updated on a scedchule of any kind, instead there'll be a new entry once I've accumulated enough material to make a decently sized entry. That usually means one or two updates a month.

Last, and least: the tutorials section. Now and then I get an itching for some tutorial-making, ergo tutorials are made. But that's not a very frequent happening, and that section of the site isn't really a piority right now. But it's there.

In conclusion: enjoy your stay, my friend. Noteworthy for those who are wondering: my DeviantArt nick is ShadowUmbre, and that is pretty much the only other online gallery-area thingie where I post my works. You know what, scratch the "pretty much"; it is the only other online gallery-area thingie for me. For now, at least. But I don't really mind my works being posted elsewhere as long as I'm being credited as the artist and and a link back is provided, so if you see anything of mine floating around the net on random places, it's probably not an art theft or anything.
