Last week I learned that Dina Norlund died. I feel bad that I never got to draw her characters when she was alive (because I was insecure), but she has been and always will be one of my biggest inspiration/favourite artist. I couldn't just do nothing, so it's a bit late, but this is my tribute for Dina. May she rest in peace.
Characters belong to Dina Norlund.
Syv and Kit from The Snowcat Prince.

Fantasy graphic novel: "The Snowcat Prince" by Dina Norlund (2023-03-07)
Tumblr media
I am SO SAD that I didn't read this with my kid! I was fortunate enough to get an ARC, and read on my own...RIGHT before it expired. So now, I have to wait until release day. I told my kid I read a book about "The Snowcat Prince," and that title got her HOOKED. I spent the next half-hour retelling the story to her, and at the end, she wanted to hear it again.
So, the story is compelling, especially for a younger audience. A land of magic, ruled over by powerful cats, whose power has waned since glory days. Honor valued above all else. A quest for a powerful relic. Mischievous foxes blocking the way. An epic twist and ending that left me breathless.
The artwork is gorgeous, as well. Syv, the titular prince, is an adorable fluffball, and no wonder the people of his kingdom wish he'd become king. He looks so kind and huggable! The world is full of life and detail, movement and magic. And the COLORWORK! WOW!
I'm gonna BET this is the graphic novel that will push my child's reading level forward. I bet I'll read it to her once, and then she'll read it on her own, over and over. And I'm looking forward to my own re-read!

Clear #1 (of 3) -  Scott Snyder & Francis Manapul

Was so excited to see this got a wider release in English via Oni Press since I missed out on the kickstarter back in 2019 (and I was SO SAD I MISSED IT). This is a gorgeous, expressive fairy tale about two brave kids doing their best to save the world, even without the support of their family.

Escapade
Tumblr media
It was his palace, his kingdom; he could clearly see the peaks of the Skymaw towering above him. Yet at the same time it wasn’t his palace, because it was all in ruins. The young wolf padded softly through the ruins, his ears twitching in an attempt to hear something other than his own pawsteps. But there was nothing. The ruins were completely abandoned.. Or were they?
He whipped around, barely catching sight of a shadow disappearing around the corner. Who was that? For a moment he stood still, almost as if unsure of what to do. But he did know; he had done this many times before.
One pawstep, then another. He was out of the ruins. The wind whipped around him, snowflakes slicing under his thick fur like frozen claws. It wasn’t safe out in this storm, that was for sure. He turned around.
She stood there behind him, as if waiting. Her spotted pelt was barely visible through the swirling snow, but her emerald eyes seemed to glow brighter than the moon.
He could see the dark, horned shadow looming behind her. He could hear a voice. Was it his? He wasn't sure. There was a bright flash of light, and everything went dark.
“Prince Rayelin,” a sharp, commanding voice broke through his thoughts, pulling him back to the world. “Answer the question.”
He coughed quietly, blinking the sharp sting of the incense from his eyes. “Yes. I, Prince Rayelin of Blizzardcrest, swear by Orrin’s Fangs to uphold the alliance.”
“Tell me about it.”
“There’s nothing to tell,” Rayelin growled. He pulled off his cloak, throwing it in the corner with a frustrated sigh.
“You saw her again, didn’t you?”
“Kenta, you shouldn’t be here.”
“Why don’t you just go to her?”
“Because I don't know where she is!” Rayelin snapped, glaring at the snowcat. “Because it’s not princely to go running off into the world looking for friendship!”
Kenta moved closer, curling their tail around the wolf. “You don’t have to do this, you know.”
“Are you suggesting we run away?”
“What’s stopping us?”
“My parents are stopping us.”
‘I’ve always wanted to see the world beyond Icerun, you don't want to lead the pack… it’s the perfect plan, Raye. We carry out this dumb ceremony, and when we get to the mountains we slip away.”
“That can’t possibly work.”
“We’ll try it, okay? Besides, they need us. What’s the worst that can happen?”
Rayelin could think of plenty of things. But he couldn't bring himself to say them. There was no arguing with his companion.
“Moonrise tonight,” Kenta purred, padding softly toward the window. A moment later, they were gone.
Kenta was insane. Sneaking up here every day to keep him company was one thing, but suggesting that they run away? Rayelin shook his head. There was no way it would ever happen.
And yet, some part of him wondered if it really was too good to be true. He’d be the first in his bloodline to run from the crown. A prince giving up the diplomatic lifestyle of a royal was rare, but not unheard of. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, it could work. Perhaps, finally, he could stop being Prince of Blizzardcrest. Perhaps, finally, he could just be Rayelin.
The sharp smell of incense filled his nose and stung his eyes once more. His cloak felt heavy on his shoulders as he fought back his nervousness. He could feel the watchful eyes of the pack on him, staring into his soul. There was no way this could work.
Kenta grinned at him from across the room, surrounded by an entourage of snowcat royalty. This was the one night that even the solitary snowcats came together to celebrate, if it could even be called a celebration. How could they not be worried about the plan? Or maybe they were nervous, and just good at hiding it.
The hall, once filled with quiet murmurs, fell silent suddenly as the leaders of Blizzardcrest stepped to the center of the stage. Rayelin closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. He had to focus.
“Welcome, friends,” Rayelin’s father stepped forward, his deep voice carrying across the gathered crowd. “You are here to witness the final stage of this ancient ceremony. For many centuries, the wolves of Blizzardcrest have upheld an alliance with the snowcats of Icerun…”
Rayelin could practically feel himself falling asleep. He closed his eyes, letting his mind wander. If the ceremony went through as planned, the pair would be headed to the peaks of Orrin’s Fangs. They would go alone, yet together, and that would be their chance to slip away. If they went down the far side of the mountains, perhaps the guards wouldn’t notice them. Not until it was too late, anyway.
“I, King Keldrak, and Queen Saiji now call the heirs to the stage.”
Rayelin glanced at Kenta, who was already stepping forward. This was it.
The only thing he could feel was fear. Fear that ran colder and deeper than the worst of Icerun’s blizzards. Fear that they had been caught.
“I thought you said the far side of the peaks would be unguarded!” Rayelin snapped, glancing back at the angry pack that chased them.
“I thought it wouldn’t be!” Kenta growled back.
“Now what are we supposed to do?”
“Just keep running! I’ll think of something.”
The rocky terrain soon gave way to snowy fields, making running easier. Rayelin slowed to follow Kenta, knowing the snowcat would be able to dodge the hidden crevasses beneath the snow.
Everything had gone wrong. First, the wind had kicked up, creating a small hurricane of snow that delayed the ceremonies. Then it was decided that a group of guards should accompany the duo to the peaks, in case of any further danger. And then the guards had, for some unknown reason, circled around to the back of the mountain, and alerted both the pack and the snowcats to the pair’s escapade.
Rayelin cast a quick glance at Kenta as they ran. They couldn't run for much longer; even Rayelin could feel himself tiring. The sounds of their hunters were quickly fading behind them, though it was some time before either of them noticed.
“I think we’re safe,” Rayelin panted. “We can probably stop running now.”
Kenta glanced behind them, then slowed to a stop. “That was awesome.”
“Awesome? We almost get caught, and… okay, yeah, it was.” Rayelin laughed softly. He was too happy to pretend to be upset. They were finally free. He glanced around at the seemingly endless snowfield.  “Where do we go from here?”
“You tell me, Prince.”
“I am not a prince! Not anymore. Today, I become just Rayelin!”
“Okay, just Rayelin, where do we go from here?”
Rayelin sat and stared at his companion, completely clueless.
“Maybe I should rephrase that,” Kenta mused. “Where does your girlfriend say we should go from here?”
“She is not my girlfriend!” Rayelin growled defensively. He kept the second part to himself: But I wish she was. “They’re probably still hunting us. They probably won’t ever stop hunting us, so we should get as far away as possible.”
“Murkwood, then,” Kenta said triumphantly. They started to march off, heading for what Rayelin could only hope was a way out of the snowfields.
“Murkwood?” Rayelin echoed. “On the other side of the continent?”
“We have to get as far away as possible, right?”
“But…”
“But nothing,” the snowcat replied simply. “I got us out of the mountains. I can get us out of this snowfield, and out of Icerun, and far away from here.”
“Sure,” the wolf growled softly. He knew the snowcat was right. Kenta was always right – or rather, Kenta was right most of the time.
The companions fell to silence as they walked. The sun was starting to rise now, the clouds overhead parting with a gentle breeze. Rayelin lost himself in his thoughts once more, trying to ignore the cold that was seeping into his fur.
He was happy, wasn’t he? This was what he had wanted, after all. Life as a commoner, without the flashy jewels and warm blankets and luxurious pillows that the royals of the palace possessed. 
Perhaps he felt a smidge of doubt, thinking about his future. Perhaps he felt some regret, leaving an easy life of royalty for a life of hardship and survival. Perhaps he had made the wrong choice.
If he’d even had a choice in the first place, of course. Maybe this wasn’t his choice at all. He thought he had never believed those ancient tales, stories of how the Creators decided the fate of all of Loria. But as he gazed out across the snowfield, he began to realize that maybe he did.
This was what the Creators wanted for him. This was his fate. This was his life now.

The Prince Of Bedlam Farm - Our Lovable Hellion - Is A Snow Cat. He Plays And Hunts And Takes A Nap Every Day At Noon
Zip’s favorite thing is running through the snow when it’s snowing. He finds all kinds of rodents sneaking along under the snow cover. He also rolls around on his back and paws at the snow. Every day at noon, no matter the weather, Zip hops onto the wicker chair on the porch and sleeps. Maria says he’s a snowcat; that seems right. After an hour or two of napping, he disappears again to visit his…
