WOOHOO IT'S FRIDAY, GUYS!

And you know what that means! IT'S PAGE DAY!

We get to hear it from Martin now - why writing is so important to him. 

Stories are magical, aren't they? I remember how important they were to me when I was growing up, either real or fictional. Many times when I felt alone, I found courage in how my favorite characters dealt with their own struggles. And I still do!

And now I want to give back, and really, really hope I can bring joy and courage to readers with these comics. I felt very close to Martin while writing/drawing this scene because of that!

So I sneaked in many references to other famous stories and from two of my favorite books growing up - The Secret Garden's key and Dustfinger from "Inkheart" (as a dog, of course! xD)

Drawing this page was crazy, but it felt so good to work on. Nostalgic, to say the least!

What were you favorite stories growing up?

Thank you guys SO MUCH for all of your support and for giving me the opportunity in this life to work with something like this! You guys are AWESOME!

This page is probably my favorite so far in this chapter. The coloring in the background is mesmerizing. Also love seeing Steban supporting Martin. 💙

Stories, regardless of the medium all inspired us with to make stories of our own with infinite possibilities. That is exactly why I'd love to be at least a writer someday and one of many reasons I can relate to Martin the most. And what a beautiful page you have done that perfectly suits the thoughts from Martin's mind.💙💙💙💙💙

Martin’s reasoning is honestly quite relatable. Regardless of the type, a story is a place where you can sit back and enjoy the lives of other characters unfold in ways that feel both authentic and in some cases, surprising. There’s always that sense of wonder that really gets the imagination going in the best ways. A beautiful message and a beautifully drawn page 😍🤩! Also, nice Baron Howler cameo 👌.

This page is beautiful! Your description and Martin's words are so deep. Stories have definitely been my go-to for probably my whole life! When I was younger I enjoyed the Wolves of the Beyond series by Kathryn Lasky (I still do, actually!). Also, this page is beautiful! The way you drew Martin's memories/thinking is so beautiful and vibrant!

lol you literally just described us with no north in this page 🤍🤍

It seems Martin uses books as a escape from reality and to help him through tough times and that is something that we can relate to

This is a beautiful page Skai! Love the colors and the imagery, and how it emphasizes Martin's passion for doing what he does! I can tell there's something very personal about this page for you, and that it's a reflection of your own feelings and desires. This is really wonderful! ❤️ As always, thank you so much for sharing this story and your artistic vision with us. I can't overstate how glad I am to be a part it!

I love this page so much , deep meanings and words I can relate to !! I also love the fantasy vibe and the book characters and other stuff , I’m gonna be honest with y’all I’ve looked carefully at each detail in this page hehe ! Before coming up with my upcoming comic’s story , I was writing books hehe , all my life I did . I create stories in my head and many worlds with many characters, sometimes when I feel sad I create a story , or when I get so inspired XD! Creating stories for me is to create different worlds , you do whatever you want in there and whatever you can’t do in here , it’s wonderful haha ! I decided to log in to some social medias cause I want to share my comic with people , to make them laugh , to bring joy into the world with Into Unknown! I also think that being able to draw and having such a great imagination is a bliss because you can bring your stories to life with illustrations or write books and create the characters and different worlds :D! I’m happy that Martin understands, I hope Steban will slap some sense into Martin completely XD ahaha

I love seeing Martin thoughts about writing. Love this page so much!!!

Awesome page. I’m not gifted enough for comics. But I love to write fan fiction and hope to write more. I can absolutely relate. I’ve always been shy. I put on a strong front but I’m butter inside. I could always run away in a story. I unfortunately get too attached to characters and feel actual loss when a story ends. I loved the Lord of the Rings, and pretty much any fantasy. But I also enjoyed Western stories especially if they were somewhat historically accurate even if it was only identifiable places. I love your comics because you write your heart into it and it shows. I really love Steban, he wants everyone to believe he’s strong and fun loving but deep down he just wants to belong and prove he’s good enough (boy, don’t we all…)

This visualization is gorgeous 😍 Martin has such a well thought reason for his pursuit in writing, this is the moment ive been waiting for! 💖 love love love, thats all I can give to such a magnificent story written by a very talented artist! Keep being awesome, hope you have a wonderful day Skailla 😁

This is amazing!! Martin needs to put those passionate words onto a page. When I was in elementary school, I always read “Magic Tree House.” then I moved on to “Wings of Fire” and “The Hunger Games.” And I read a bunch of manga.

This is such a beautiful page and visually stunning. All of these thoughts coming out from Martin I'm sure he will find what he's looking for in no time and will be able to piece all together on paper. That encouragement from Steban is amazing

Ed Idk

alright, you and your team create the most stunning graphic novel visuals ive ever seen. this is incredible. it feels animated and immersive, lively in a way that is hard to believe it came out of a comic page. im starting to care about these characters more and more :)

"Grab a piece of that infinity" I absolutely LOVE that!!! And I love seeing more of Martin's inner workings. He's so stressed all the time, it's nice to see those moments when he can feel passionate. Steban is definitely going to be a good influence on him. Sometimes, what you need is someone who is willing to support you while also challenging you and giving you an extra push.
