Sup #PortfolioDay! I'm Maaria and I do comics, illustrations and character design!

I wish there was more fiction about cults where said cult wasn't cartoonishly evil right away. Like why. Don't these writers get what's interesting about cults to begin with? They're the nicest people ever! You love spending time with them! You don't realize it's a trap until it's too late!

I once got asked why I bother donating money to Luonnonperintösäätiö (nature legacy foundation) when "the government is already protecting forests" It isn't, it absolutely isn't lmao

Opinions are like the ways to cut a bell pepper: everyone's got their own, all are valid, but mine is the best and smartest

Now that I'm sober I'm not that fond of the drawing but let's think of it like rent lowering gunshots

Flu shot kicking my ass... need blorbo

I like how this show makes fun of the exact type of nutcase fans that it's also attracting

Sometimes I feel like I should get a PS5 to check out all these cool modern games. Then I'm reminded the machine still costs fucking seeeven hundreeeeeeeed. I could afford it but not the psychic damage

Normie: People should be judged by their actions instead of appearances Autistic: That is the most sensible thing I've ever heard Normie: No no no this is just something people say to be polite. Don't take everything so literally, dumbass

Sayonara Lara: 💎attractive visuals 💎beautiful score! wow! 💎lowkey gross and sinister stuff hell yeah 💩so much padding though 💩I was expecting this outcome from the beginning? it's fine but idk... 💩cute but I didn't feel super invested at any point

First time driving my mom to a place, lowkey nervous, and immediately she starts with "you listen to THIS kind of music?? 😃" jesus ok guess I'll crash just to spite you

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Wondered about the emergency water bottle in my car since it might freeze and break during winter. My next thought was that it would be handy to store a sort of dry water in the car. They should invent that

Why is my taste always two or three levels more advanced than any of the stuff I'm able to draw. Can't it be reversed. Couldn't I just blow my own mind outta nowhere for once

I can often tell when an artist is Finnish but dunno if my style is clockable as that... I wonder what impression other people get

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

Found Doraemon in the library! It's pretty fun, reminds me a lot of the Donald Duck comics I read as a kid. I always assumed Nobita was an ordinary kid but he's often a lazy, greedy little loser instead lol

Recently watched Gladiator for the first time. I had only seen clips of it before and assumed it was some kinda deeply layered, prestigious historical film Nah it's just anime. It's battle shonen. Three hours of a guy aurafarming. Every man and woman he meets comes into their pants from awe

Once upon a time, there was a miraculous creature, and a stranger from a distant land... FEAST OF THE UNICORN is coming soon on Kickstarter! A new sexy story from me and Ananth! www.kickstarter.com/projects/joh...

Thing that bugs me about museums: some ancient tablet/scroll/pottery/etc on display with writing on it but they haven't put any translations or even summaries next to it. Dude that is the obvious number one thing I'd like to learn about the damn item why would you gatekeep this from me

I'm late to the party but Flip by Ngozi Ukazu is so good... the body swap premise made me expect something light and silly like ranma but it went to such deep and painful places. Fantastic stuff
