Finn-Strip. Webcomic about Finland, Finnish people & me
  • JarmoJarmo July 2008

    Heya.

    I bet you have never read a webcomic about Finland, Finnish people and yours truly and my adventures and mishaps in this great country. Right?

    Well, even if I hate my "art" in this strip... I must urgeyou to check it out. It's fairly new strip but I have been "dreaming" of making one about 2-3 years now. While posting this I have just uploaded a #11 strip so... well, it's just crap. Just go and see what it's like.

    If you like it or even hate it - put a comment either here, on the site or at my email which is mentioned there somewhere okay it's finnstrip(at)gmail(dot)com

    I do this for hobby so I don't do this for money - even if I'm out of job at the moment BUT of course I'm always open for donations....

    clickety click @ FINN-STRIP

    carry on

    PS: if Joel doesn't approve this post he'll let me know via twitter, or moderator removes it but I'm sure... pretty sure it's okay (even if I didn't ask him)

    thank you for the support man (good to have forum mod as a "fan" - can I call you fan? :D )

    I had no idea.

    How can you like something which sucks in its makers opinion :D ... I don't know why I mainly don't like it. I do enjoy making it and the creative process before making it BUT when it's uploaded I demand feedback etc and I hate it after that...

  • BillBill July 2008

    Of course I'm a fan. :D

    The thing I like best about your strip is that I never know what the next topic is going to be. Each new strip is a nice surprise. And some of the art is really amazing, like the sunset and bonfire from the first strip.

    Cool. What do you think? Should I do more is by hand like the 1st strip was done solely by markers and fineliners... latest was 100% digital :)

    Hm, now that's really up to you. I'll keep reading it, regardless. ;)

    "groud" = "ground"?

    This is your best art so far. Keep it up.

    great job Jarmo, I really like the expression in Panel 2 for some reason

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    #14 is your best art yet. I don't know what you did, but keep doing that. It looks fantastic.

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    guess what... new (#15) is uuuup!

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    Gotta pimp it out there and say ---

    Strip #16 is up and running - everything is changed but not for good... I did this piece of crap within 2-3 hours ... thoughts?

  • Locke+Cole117Locke Cole117 August 2008

    The style isn't as great in your normal work, but I can understand if you want to update. Your normal style allows for a ton of expression, just thought I'd chime in on that regard.

    Also: Your Wacom comic is great, I'm in the same boat as you (minus the whole "I've drawn before" part :P )

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    lol... thanks Locke Cole

    I'm now trying to update the strip daily for next two weeks... so strip #17 is up ! :D

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    How have you people been liking this crap on daily basis... it's not nice to get no feedback ;) :D

    kid kid... I kid - WOLVERINE!

  • Locke+Cole117Locke Cole117 August 2008

    I'm really glad to see the old art style, how is it working for you time wise?

    Also: THANK YOU for the link to Nemu-Nemu, I am addicted now

  • JarmoJarmo August 2008

    Oh shit. Forgot to put up the new URL here - ages ago :)

    so here it is

    http://webcomic.us/finnstrip

    PS: I also have a secondary webcomic called Insect Life.

    I have planned on getting back to making strips on regular basis but it's too stressful to think of - so, strips are coming but with NO schedule ;)
