What is SNUFF?
SNUFF is a long term Comic project I've been working on since 2012 when I first came up with the idea.
During these +10 years the main story has changed several times, because the characters have grown up along me and started doing unexpected things, which meant the story was getting better and my plans for them changed radically.
Unai and Carlos are the main characters of this story, surrounded by other characters who push them around, they will find the relationship with the other to be a turning point in their lives, both for the best and the worst while finding company in solitude.

SNUFF's versions:
2013-2017 SNUFF Vol 0
The first version of the comic that was born on tumblr and published as a webcomic on the same site from 2013 to 2017, with a radically different storyline and use of narrative with chapters that didn't follow a lineal chronology, and a notorious absence of the character of Unai, who disappeared at the beginning of the story, and focused more on the dynamics between Carlos and the rest of the class trying to figure out his role in Unai's absence.
This comic was very bleak I have to admit so is no surprise it was turned down when I pitched it to some Spanish and French publishers in 2013. That didn't keep me from drawing it and continued posting it on tumblr. Developing the story was taking years cause I was drawing it on my free time while studying at University. I dropped it and closed its website in 2017 cause I fell out of love with how I had approached the story and narrative.
2019-2021 SNUFF Vol 2
After a two year long hiatus, I felt like revisiting the story and rewrote the whole script, now with a regular chronological order narrative and new character dynamics.
I sketched the whole story, drew chapters 1 to 4 in black and white and created a Comic Dossier to pitch to Spain Publishers again. I was doing this for all 2020 and got turned down every time, except for one Publisher House who liked the comic but asked me to change some violent aspects of the story. Since I wasn't up to change major aspects of the comic, I declined the offer and decided to continue the story on my own.
2022-2024 SNUFF 3.33
Final version of the comic. I start a period of exhaustive working on this project, which provokes continuous changes on script and characters' dynamics, as I kept exploring every aspect of the story for a period of 2 years.
It all started on tiktok when SNUFF got a massive following in little time, after posting snippets and videos about the story and characters, as well as comic tutorials and tips. This motivated me to work harder on the project and give it the time and care it deserved, and I start posting it on Webtoon on Nov 2022 to Feb 2023, however due to unexpected personal matters, working on the story became a complicated task, and I have to stop posting on Webtoon.
Finally I take down the story from the website altogether because my drawing style has changed a lot during the year 2023 and I tweak the story a little further, having the ultimate definitive script for the story finished by the end of 2023.
What now?
I'll be collating this project with my fulltime job.
As soon as Lineart is completed, I'll also be pitching it to US publishers, try my luck on that market. and dunno what else tbh.
Thank you so much for being interested in SNUFF, and I hope you'll still be there when the story is out! You can leave some feedback on my guestbook too!!
