*knock knock* Heyy anybody here? Oh, you! Hi! Oh gosh, where to start now? A lot of dust in this place, here and there! Sooo hello, hello newcomers! I'm Ella, the author of this comic in here called "Gimkhana", ended in year 2019, where the world was a less pandemic place and I still was moving my first steps into being a comic artist as a profession! I see you, ooh I do. I never really left this place, after it all ended, and I was so, so shocked in seeing this old, self-published, dented version of "Gimkhana" has reached over 1 million readings and I felt so overwhelmed I felt like sharing some words with you after all this absence. What has it been of me? Well, these 3 years have been a hell of a ride, seriously, and you can now find some comics in France ad USA with my stupid name on the front cover (here, if you're curious: https://www.artstation.com/ornellasavarese/profile ). Aaah yes, yes it has been a ride. It IS a ride. Sometimes I return here, as people in the movies do return to their wood hut or abandoned family cottage to think, to face their demons and stuff like that, and I love it. Despite the absence, I still do have in project to rework this comic, and, indeed, it became a bigger bigger project through the years. A lot changed, as I did, and I'm just waiting to find myself again, the "me" who used to find time for everything. I miss her. But I will, someday, and in the meantime I just wanted to say that while here it will take a bit to return, you can follow my journey here https://www.instagram.com/ella.savarese/ , I will be happy to meet you there <3 so, what else! Hope somebody will read this message, or if it's just few of you, I love you guys, thank you for being here <3
Tonight the series ended on here, and I'm excited and a bit sad like the first time, in 2017! I'm reading the first comments and I'll answer and thank all of you for this journey <3 but don't miss the little news tomorrow, about the future of the series, as the very last episode page <3
I scheduled the full comic for release <3 the next updates will be of 2+ pages , since it's how I plan you should read some parts! One page per update would have made the comic last more, but that would take something away from the reading experience, so I decided for this way. I'm already excited, and while I translated everything, looking at this work done between 2014 to 2017, it gave me strong feels. How much I changed, how much this comic itself is changing while I'm rewriting it for the reboot that's going to happen in the future. But even if I'd do 80% of it differently now, if it wasn't for this I wouldn't be working as an artist, so I have deep affection for it, with its flaws and all. <3 Can't wait to know what you think of it, at the end!
Agreed! It has been quite the exciting journey! :D
I'm really curious to know how all of this will end. Eirik is such a bastard ;-; We didn't know Diana much but she was a sweetie. She didn't deserve to die like this :c I hope Eirik will die the same way, and that Sean will know the truth one day.
hehehe <3 you'll get to know everything ^^ and thank you all <3
Thank you for your art and such an exciting story!

HEY - GIMKHANA MUSIC THEME is out now! Check on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gimkhanacomics/videos/538822813234435/?fb_dtsg_ag=AdwGo4CY6cSp0TkbPxAlRfHqhBhXRXNj_97JlxmK8zRBSQ%3AAdyQEz_-r7mR_fmUCls-t1suopKwLBTbdFfzROCECskyJg
HEY - what about some "monthly comments day"? Posting an illustration in gallery with open comments once a month, so that you can write your opinions or doubts under there and there only! This will make things cozy, quiet, and I'll be able to have everything at one place ;D things got better with closed comments, but I want to hear how is your reading going so far! Soooo, wait for it next Wednesday! ^^
That'd be awesome!
Nice idea! I'm glad deactivating the comments helped you! 💜
More things to look forward to now about Gimkhana :)
<3
Would be nice to have some comments or theories about the comic, i miss the comments, i liked to see what others thought about the scenes, but i understand it can be sick sometimes.
