vefurrin: cover

cover of my submission for Morning magazine's Kodansha manga competition. it's about a storyteller, a weaver of words; 'vefurrin' is Icelandic for 'weaver', and the weaver is Ganymar from HERO. if you are interested in timelines this takes place long before the events in HERO xD;

all the Icelandic words used within are in tribute to Sigur Ros whose Takk album kept me alive in the ten or so days I had to draw this story.

despite the extreme kindness and helpfulness of the print shop staff, i was an idiot and screwed up the hard copy, and didn't notice until I got home :/ the contrast is gone and it looks very washed out and quite bad, and i don't have time to go back and reprint. well, kodansha are reputed to care for story over art, though personally I think the story is also very weak.

i guess i would be somewhat less depressed if I had not spent so much time and effort on the thing. oh well. valuable lessons learnt!

oh and i'll post the comic itself when I am not zombified xD;
