HEEEEEEEY GUYS!

I hope you're having an awesome weekend!

Here's something I haven't done in a while – actually drawing!

I couldn't resist creating something for one of the most beautiful songs I've heard all year: Eternity by Alex Warren

Since the first time I heard it made me think of Joseph Fisher and Amaya. Of all the grief and burden he's carried for years, still holding out hope that he'll one day run by his beloved's side again. The light he carries with him is all he has left of her, an eternal symbol of his vow to find her again.

This song speaks so deeply to the soul of anyone who's ever lost someone. But there's a bittersweet hope that I feel when I listen to it that both breaks my heart and fills me with strength.

I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on this!! You guys are the absolute BEST!!!

I've gone through some scary health-related issues this month. It affected me physically, and I'm still trying to recover and figure out the best way to get better again and back on track! It set a few things back on schedule and I'm so sorry for this. But I promise great things are coming!

Thank you all so much for being here!!!

This is so indescribably, stunningly beautiful. This is just the type of art to make me feel so much and to touch my heart. The story of Joseph and Amaya is absolutely heartbreaking when you think about it- Amaya and Joseph falling in love, then having her taken away from him. Or, her chasing the light she wanted to, but not being able to come back. Still, all these years, he still believes he’ll see her again, he still carries that ever burning lantern, he still remembers her and thinks of her in everything he does. Even though Amaya’s not there, she is anything but gone from his life. I can’t imagine the amount of sorrow and grief- especially with the possibility she could come back. It makes sense for him to hold on to even the tiniest bit of hope. It’s so heartbreakingly beautiful, this piece of art. The dedication and love for all these years, never letting go of the magic and always remembering and keeping in your art what the one you loved gave you- before they were gone. And that song, wow! It is such a bittersweet song with so much sorrow and silver lining coming with it! Definitely one for grief and remembrance. The light in the clouds, the memories, spilling out into the dark woods and the once whole Joseph. Amaya was an irreplaceable part of him, and he’ll never give up hope. The light and hope that once filled every inch of his world with Amaya now only remains in the lantern he always carries. The true ghost on the shore. Never truly living until he finds his one true love again. The colors are immaculate, perfectly displaying the contrasting feelings, and the way Joseph is drawn- wow! The tears streaming down his muzzle and the light from the lantern shining onto his eyes and his heart, a reminder of what once was. Even his position and the way his back arches is just amazing, you always continue to amaze me with your spectacular talent for art. This story just goes to show how much of an imprint a person can make on you, no matter how short of a time you have with them. You’ll always carry their memory and their words with you, and they’ll always have a special place in your heart. And to think, this is just a tiny snippet of the massive story of No North, and No North, albeit a big one, a part of all of the stories you have to tell!! I still can’t believe how much everything you say and draw resounds with me so much! And the words from the song match it so much! Sorry, I went on a bit of a rant, but it affected me so! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it is so, so very beautiful. Remember you bring things to this world no one else can! And also, take as much time to recover as you need, you are more than enough. Take care of yourself, even if it means pushing back your projects- you always come first and we will always be here for you!! Also, how’d you like the new Lord Huron album?? The Cosmic Selector (Volume 1) was such an amazing experience and everything Lord Huron does continues to amaze me beyond my wildest beliefs! That band never ceases to sing the songs of my soul. I hope you enjoyed it and got inspiration from it!! You give me so much inspiration!

I heard this song on tiktok several times and it absolutely resonates with me. I balled my eyes out the first time i heard it in full. As someone who recently lost a life long family member it hits hard. Keep up the great work and feel better soon.

JOEEE!!! I always love getting more lore and art with him!! He's one of the characters I'm most interested in learning about in No North! 👀 This is so beautiful! The song is beautiful and these lyrics fit these two so well! 🥺 I can't wait to learn more about these two and their relationship! 💕 I hope you feel better soon Skailla! Keep up the awesome work! 🫶💖

Fozzy

This is stunning, so much emotion in one image! And of course I can't ignore that it's my favorite old Joe 🥰 Take care Skailla, hopefully you feel better soon and no matter what always remember everyone here has your back and support 1000% We are all rooting for you and all here to support you no matter what 🥰

You really have a way of capturing emotion in your art, and that really shows especially with Old Joe. Beautiful song by the way, and I really love how you include the lyrics in this piece. It really adds some extra punch! I just know the whole subplot with Joe and Amaya is going to be so moving and deep. There are moments in your stories that really hit me in the feels and give me some pause, and most of the art that Joe is in is like that. I think the lonely and somber atmosphere you capture him in, and his palpable sense of grief and longing, really makes me feel some of what he feels. And those pieces are all at once beautiful, mysterious, and sad. It also really deepens the mystery and fascination of the unknown frontier and what happened to the Hunter expedition, and Amaya. I can't imagine how terrified and devastated Joe must've been when he was separated from her 💔 😔 The mysteries of No North are part of what draws me so deep into this story! Again, fabulous work! I'm sorry to hear you had that health scare, but I hope you continue to have a strong recovery! We all send you our best wishes Skailla! Be well ❤️
