Hi! On this page I will keep you updated on the Will-o’-Wisp comic I’m working on!

In Will-o´-Wisp Part 1, we follow Winnie, a gnome girl with the ambition to become a great witch. When a magic test goes horribly wrong she wants to find a way to redeem herself. She sets out on a journey to find the magical items she destroyed. Along the way she runs into all kind of creatures that want nothing more than to help her with her quest! At least, that´s what they are doing, right?... right?

My name is Nikki Smits and I´m the author/illustrator of Will-o´-Wisp! I have been drawing the characters from this comic for years and the story has slowly been growing in my mind until I got to a point where I realy needed to write it down. This is my first comic project and it has been a lot of fun creating it! So far I have sketched about 245 pages, which was initially going to be volume 1 (yes, the story is 3 times this long). But I love to paint digitally and take a lot of time which each page, so volume 1 will be split up in 4 parts of around 60 pages each (this way it will not take another 2 years to finish haha).

So stay tuned for Part 1: Fungi and Katnip, which will be available in English and Dutch on Kickstarter late Spring/Summer! Follow my Social Media to get a heads-up. bsky.app/profile/nikkismits.bsky.social

These are some pages for preview, the final pages might look different:
