My Bio

Formerly known as Shirder, I've been practicing digital comics since 2010, mostly with dragon-centric content which over time cumulated into my current heart-and-soul project: Dragons of Ann Khadorr!

After a long and painful 3-year hiatus I decided to rebrand myself as Zeivogel in late 2021 for this new direction of content. You may also address me as Zeiv, Zee, or just plain Z :)


I struggle with social interaction in general, I'm a seeker of solitude, I tend to focus fully on my projects and tasks at hand and may appear distant and inapproachable.

But please know that I value feedback above anything else, even though I'll most likely only reply if I can immediately think of something to say. Receiving comments is the biggest motivation for me to continue with my personal projects, even more than any financial support could ever! If anything, let this be an encouragement to make yourself and your opinion about my work visible to me, it'll make my day and/or help me for sure!


That being said, I hope you enjoy the things I make!

Making comics and telling stories has been a passion since early childhood, biggest influences being classic European comic artists like Albert Uderzo, Hergé, André Franquin and Moebius, but also contemporaries like Jhonen Vasquez and the visuals of modern Marvel Comics.

While my artistic and writing skills are mostly self-taught with some educational guidance, I have acquired an educational background and practical knowledge in professional graphic design, photography and video-editing. I'm currently attending university to further deepen my knowledge in overall media design.

While I'm not specifically aiming for a professional career as a comic artist, I would love to get something published some day!

Sincerely,

Zeiv°

Hey. Long time no see. I have been gone for so long I barely remember how this site even works, maybe this'll get washed into somebody's feed by the algorithm for something I've posted a long time ago. In case you don't recall who I am, I'm Zeivogel, formerly Shirder, I made that Ann Khadorr comic a while back. A lot of time has passed, things have changed, and I don't think I've ever been gone this long without any sign of life. So, I just wanted to give a quick little update, confirming that I'm still alive, and I'm still thinking about this comic and the world I've been trying to build up around it. If you remember, I had to abandon my work due to financial issues and lack of spare time. A few things have happened since then, the past year-and-a-half I have actually been trying to build up my own little business, trying to generate my own income by doing things I enjoy. It's been messy, difficult, a bit scary, working out taxes and all the legal shit, but it's something I'm very

Life Update

Hey all! Once again I'm being away for longer than I thought… I had thought to return with new pages somewhat around February, but things went a little differently. The company I worked for as a side job went bankrupt in January, so since then I’ve been pretty much constantly looking for other ways to finance my life and my university studies (which I’ve also been pondering over because so far it has only caused me social and financial stress, in exchange for knowledge that for the most part I already possess). I may even go for a full time occupation, which could mean even less time for personal projects like the comic. Hopefully I'll be able to continue the work on Ann Khadorr once I’m standing on somewhat stable ground, but for now I'll have to put the main comic on hiatus and not worry about it for a minute. But I hope to get some small-scope Ann Khadorr related projects out the door to bridge the gap; maybe you’ve seen my newest art post first and followed the link here. Such

Only two pages until the next milestone, and I wish to make it there before I go on a Christmas/New Year's break. But I got sick earlier this week so work got kinda delayed, and I might not be able to finish the next page until Saturday. I'll try to make it, but if I don't, check back on Wednesday!
