Nunsense nonsense with overnight soap opera-shows. Not the best writing, but drawing these two is always a delight.

Max Sarin @maxsarin.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Three more slasher pages are up on my "Buy me a coffee"-site. If you are a member and not able to access these pages, please do tell! I am still new to this. I appreciate every single one of you!

Happy holidays one and all! Fun fact: Jimmy was a concept before Nunsense, but I never got around to work on his story.

Newest pages of the slasher comic in my "Buy me a coffee"-page. There is also my Giant Days test page I made for Boom!Studios before getting the gig.

Nunsense continues. This one actually has two pages, but the joke gets across with one. One of my biggest pet peeves in these sort of movies has been the upside down cross: The symbol of humility. Yes. Super scary.

The Nunsense continues! And I gave in: I had to give Sister Maggie at least one pun.

I put up a "buy me a coffee"-page at buymeacoffee.com/maxdraws. For 2 euros a month, you get to see old Giant Day pages and for 5 euros you also get to see two sketch pages of my new comic every month! I am new to this sort of thing, so I am starting small and taking suggestions for improvement.

This time the theme is "Silmälasit" (eyeglasses). #perjantaipaja #perjantaipajavinkkaa #sarjakuu #sarjakuu2025 @sarjakuvaseura.bsky.social I went to buy new glasses last year. The staff was very friendly and polite - But I REALLY looked like Dahmer. Jenni agreed.

Two people, an optician and a customer. The optician is complimenting the look, but the customer claims looking like a famous serial killer. The optician disagrees, but as the customer asks the off-screen girlfriend, she agrees that the customer really looks like that bastard.

I have loved Deno's work for years now and still do! I got blown away when I was commissioned to draw joyful Kaisa and had such fun having her on my drawing board! @denowylie.bsky.social

Sorry for the low res. This just a "how should I draw and color these characters"-sketch of the horror comic I have mentioned before. I applied for funding: keeping my fingers crossed I get it so I can make this. :)

I have been doing some slice of life comics. It will be in a zine at some point, but still needs few more pages to be ready to print. It is in Finnish and has only the dogs dialogue in this sneekpeek. "WHAT IS THAT?!" "THAT THING! WHAT IS IT?! LOOK! "DOGEATER!"

A dog and his owner are on a walk when the dog spots something and starts to pull at it. It screams "What is that?!" and demands the owner to come look at it. The dog screams that the thing is a DOGEATER. It is actually just a packback.

Here is a comic on how we got our cats. I will also make a "How Eemeli hurt his leg"-comic. We are still in financial recovery, so if you want to help us with a donation at PayPal.me/helpeemeli it is very much appreciated.

Max Sarin @maxsarin.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Thanks to everyone who have helped! Eemeli is slowly but steadily getting better. We are still not out of finacial gutter, but getting there. Thank you all again

Our dog is a big softie, absolute marshmallow. Unless you are a plushie. Needless to say, he doesn't get any soft toys over 2 euros.

Dog waiting for permission to pick his new favorite toy that is advertised been made from the toughest material there is.

The dog gets permission to play with his toy. The toy is not very durable.

The dog is happy, ready for the next toy.

I had a good brainstorming with friend and finally figured out how to draw this fella. When my gf saw the new design she called it Tuktuk instead of the name Tuhkaharja(ashmane) and it is a perfect name for a tiny hamsterpugowl found and named by a little child. Not big on expressions this one.

A study of poses on a cartoon animal that looks like a weird mix of a pug and an owl.

Last but not least: Blitch. These have been enjoyable. Here hoping I get to make this comic one day (I put the "pro" in procrastination). Blitch's eye color came from my childhood pet dog Tupla, who had HUGE impact on me. Giving these eyes to Blitch was my way of keeping him with me forever.

A set of expressions and a full body image of a animal-ish cartoon character.

Because R'Ha was made, might as well do Shioban (she-o-ban). Shioban is basically a hobbit: all that is needed is good food, cosy shelter and merry company. Shioban was a hard one as I am not 100% content with the design, but it will grow on me or evolve in time.

An assortment of expressions and a full body image of a comic character with not completely human characteristics. Possibly an anthro monkey cat? Otter mouse?

My way of making sure I don't back up with my designs AGAIN I will post it online! Perfect plan!

A set of expressions of a cartoon character with animal fox/hyena/husky? features and a full body image of the said character.

I love seeing peoples ponypersonas. Or any personas. It is a lovely way of noticing how people see themselves. Very insightful! (plus this drawing is DOPE!)

"I promise Max, we will stay on the main path. We will not go off trail."

Wood path, rustling sounds. Someone is coming out of the woods.

A young woman appears with her dog on the path happy to finally reach this point.

Young woman compliments the dog for perfect shortcut while her partner looks like some sort of snowman, but made of bugs, mud and sticks.

Doing some character face studies. I remember doing these for expression purposes long long LONG time ago, but now I am dong them to try if the face works for me. R'Ha has been losing her jaw slowly through the years. It might still come back, but at the moment quite content with this.

Different expressions of a "the heck is that, it's a super duper original design, definitely a fox"-cartoonish character.
1."Sure, sounds great," she said while planning murder.
2. very typical confused look.
3. So done with this/not getting paid enough
4. Traumatized.

Different expressions of a "the heck is that, it's a super duper original design, definitely a fox"-cartoonish character.
1. Either impressed or shocked, depends on context.
2. Flirting? Eating? Showing off fangs? Showing of tongue? Who knows!
3. "Would this face ever lie?"
4: Someone just teapagged her in online shooter.
