Bygones Be

Every living being has one thing in common; our hearts have the same set amount of beats. If one dies without using up all of theirs, the remaining heartbeats will begin life anew as bygones. Mal Resmond works with them, helping them with their problems in a world where most people don’t know that they exist…

Bygones Be is an all-ages story about good food, uncanny creatures and helping those in need. It's made by William Lillstjärna and updates every Friday and Wednesday (CET).

I just finished reading through the archives in one sitting. Good luck with your life outside of Bygones Be.

I'm really happy that things are going good for you!! Real sad about the computer though, but that's life.
You take care of yourselves ;D

yo that sounds awesome! im glad theres positive change in your life

Good to hear you're doing fine
Congrats on new job & apartment

Hello! I hope you're all doing well! Here's what has happened since I last showed any signs of life:

- I quit my job and started a new one that gives me more money and energy! After working there for about a month, I felt stable enough to work on Bygones again, however,
- my computer broke! That's okay! All my files are safe! But I couldn't afford a new one right away, and still can't. Also,
- my partner and I just moved into a new apartment last week! We are still settling in. A lot needs to be fixed, and I'm trying to do my share of this while also working full time.

So, to sum it up, I have no computer of my own and not much time for comics - still. Bygones Be will, unfortunately, keep being on hiatus. I apologize for not updating until now. If you want to help me out a little, consider donating some money via my Ko-fi - all the money will go to my new computer fund.

I'll return stronger and more powerful than ever before! See you!

@snailoiler: Take care of of your health first. Be kind to yourself. <3

I'm in a similar situation and this sucks but what can we do... Just keep hanging on, making pages from time to time.

Well... dang.

I said updates would be late, but I didn't really think they would stop completely. Long story short, my work situation and mental health have steadily gotten worse and I simply can't work on this comic right now. It's unfortunate, but Bygones Be will be on a "whenever possible" update schedule from now on. This time there won't be any guest pages to fill the silence, either.

Thank you for your patience and support, as always. I love working on this comic and this really isn't an ideal situation for me. See you all later!

Mal slices bread like I do! NORLAND'S FACE THERE XD

And of course, take care of yourself! :)

Just a quick headsup! I'll be very busy with work throughout August, so updates might be a little late this month. Thanks for understanding!

Dad is the OMNIDAD from now on, even if he has any other name. u_u

Loving this colour scheme!

The dad is probably one of those people who treat strangers nicer than their own kids. Which sucks but is generally better than people who let their kids do whatever but are mean to everyone else (the first type changes over time, the second type almost never does).

That or Mal has some weird magic powers.

It just kills me how Norrland had to fold her apron to wear it x3

Oh gosh, the new chapter looks good already! I love the environments (something the end of last chapter lacked a tad) and the body language and expressions - Mal is all ready for action and Norland is so disapproving. XD

So glad this comic is back. <3

The fifth and final guest page is by my partner Don, who has cooked up something so in-character that it might as well be canon. Actually, I’m the author so I’m the one calling the shots, this is absolutely 100% canon now.

Don has an incredible eye for colour and is always the first person I ask for colouring advice. If there’s a certain page of Bygones Be that you think is extra good colourwise, it’s most likely thanks to their help. Go to their twitter to check out more of their amazing artwork!

Chapter three starts next week! I’ll be sticking to Friday updates for now. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed all the guest art!

Ahhh this is lovely! <333 I love working with watercolours but I definitely don't find them effortless. Huge respect!!

See you next Friday!

Now who made this radical page? Why, the equally radical Mons!

The only thing he was willing to tell me about his comic was that it was going to be "dumb as a rock". However, we can all clearly see that it just..... rocks.

Mons is the most versatile artist I know, but his special skill is making watercolours seem effortless and fun. Find his paintings and more at his twitter!

This is such a wonder. <3

This lovely piece is made by my oldest friend, Sebastian Eylir!

Now this one kinda hit me in the gut. There's such a nice sense of air and freedom in this drawing, it feels magical to me. I wonder what's going through Norrland's head when she looks at the windeye...

You can find more of Sebastian's art at his twitter and tumblr, but be warned that there's content not suitable for children there sometimes! Sebastian is more or less always open for commissions, so do check him out if you're in need of some quality art.
