You may have noticed that the clothes worn by the characters are sl...

[Color Manga Page HD] Chaos Prologue Cover (Redraw)

Hi everyone.

I am working on my newest manga pages at full stretch and hope that I can present you the update soon. I added a new touch to all of them but what exactly it is will stay a secret for now. ;)

In the meantime I also took the opportunity to draw a new cover for the prologue chapter. As much as I love th...

[Draft] Chapter 4 - Additional Pages 2-6

Sorry, everyone. The current pages will still take a while because I'm changing and rearranging the content. This scene above was originally planned as introduction scene in chapter 5. I have my reasons to change the order of scenes which I can elaborate at a later point of time.

So with the newest change you readers wi...

PSD: https://mega.nz/#!YnhnRA6S!N9AE_adXl3TLyEdVu_Y-xO3ochosY-J_h44JPK8Vtbg

The uncensored version of the newest chapter. When I created the sketch it came out naturally. I like the slight erotic note on this composition. It gave the whole 'Art No...

[HD Manga Page] Chapter 4: Cover Illustration

Finally done!

Took a bit more time finishing this one. I spent much time experimenting with my colors and the borders. The biggest challenge were the curved lines. I put much attention to detail into the shapes for the hair and thorns. 

My recent works has many brighter outline edges which I personally like b...

Hello, dear Patrons.

My chapter pages still need some refinement since they will be colored again. I think the cover page will be finished in the next hours and I am al...

[Manga Draft]Chapter 4 Page 2-4

Here we go!

Our starting shoot for chapter 4. I thought a lot the introduction pages of this chapter and how I want to make the transition to the ongoing conflict situation from chapter 3.

I eventually decided to show a scene from the outside where Chaudine is fighting against the giant chaos beast which would pro...

Heyho, dear patrons.

I totally forgot to upload this Christmas illustration last month.

I kept the coloration more simple than usual. ...

[Draft] Chapter 4 - Cover: Taya & Chaudine - Illustration

Hi, dear patrons.

It's been a while and it was kinda hard to get back into the groove after all the New Year's organization and errands.

My private life's overhead got higher and I did a lot of paperwork recently but fortunately also the demands of commission so I will get a bit busier then usual. I won't neglect ...

Special Thanks to You Patrons!

Dear readers,

the end of this year is drawing closer and I honestly didn't expect that we would reach the end of chapter 3 before that but we did! That is only possible because your support and heart-warming feedback keep me motivated over the last month despite all the merciless hurdles I had to face since I started my...

[HD Manga Page] Chapter 3 - Page 21+22 (END)

WE DID IT! Chapter 3 just came to an end.

Dear readers,

We finally reached the next milestone and I can't express enough how proud I am of this achievement. It wasn't easy to find the right time for a cut since there is still a lot groundwork for this murder case to do until we reach the climax of this arc.

[Draft] Taya carrying little Winrow

A quick draft of  Taya and a young Winrow from 10 years ago. Since Taya is a dragon she is aging slower than a common human. Who knows how old she exactly is...? Does she even know her actual age herself?

[Draft] Chapter 3 - Page 20 +21

So we reached the drafts stage for the final two pages of chapter 3!

For spoiler reasons I will hold back about the dialogue scene here. Please stay tuned!

Cornell is the little boy in chapter 1 who has been saved by Chaudine during the first invasion of the floraptors on the SeaLion. I created his profile illustrat...

[HD Manga] Chapter 3 - Page 19 + 20

Whew once again it took a bit longer than I anticipated. I wanted to created a screen-like effect for the surveillance which didn't turn out so bad I think.

This scene serves also as a recollection moment to show that the initial goal was to activate the manadome all along.

Only two pages left until the chapter co...

[Preview] Dragon Twins Boreara & Aurora Lunamaria

I told you once that it became a tradition among my friends to celebrate New Year's Eve with a minigame tournament. For this event each participant has to come up with a creative challenge game that a certain number of teams can play together.

It was always thrilling for me to create a simple little videogame prototype ...

New Cover: Chapter 1 (Work in Progress)

I'm still working on the new chapter of the prologue.

As you know, I planned to rework this cover since the old one looks a bit noisy and filled with too many characters and makes also a bad thumbnail. Another reason is that I learned so much about my own color compositions and therefore I wanted to use more warm contra...

[Draft] Chapter 3 - Page 19 + 20

As you can see, I put the panels with the screens on the next page which cover all the important areas for this case. It will also show how the other situations take place in the different floors in parallel.

My newest speed-painting resulted in a portrait of Louma Dauston. As you know, she already had an appearance in chapter 1 and 3. I'm quite satis...

[HD Manga] Chapter 3 - Page 18

This page was quite a work due to all the different angles. I'm glad how it turned out though.

Maybe you have noticed some differences between the finished page and the draft version. Again I wanted to raise some tension but I also added some mentions which would fit better at the current moment.

There is only one...

[High Res] Chapter 3 - Page 17: Entering the Control Room

So this is the confirmation for the deaths of Manati's team.  I tried to achieve more tension by letting Leroy confirm everyone's death step by step, but it was still important to me to wrap everything up within a page.

I made use of myself-made Unity 3D room again like I did for the perspectives on the previous pa...

[Draft] Page 17+18

So with Leroy finally entering the room we will also get some more details about the room and the four people in there.

At this point I can really say how much fun it is to draw Leroy since his depiction allows me to draw as I also used to draw analogue using a lot of crosshatching.

Since I am currently dealing wi...

Enter the Sea Lion - The Control Room [3D Model] 1.0

Since perspectives are a huge weakpoint of mine I often work with tracing of real photos or 3D models which i created myself with a software. In this case I used Unity3D for the latter to create the control room in the same way I created the lobby hall in the first floor.  The textures consists of free and self-made asse...

[High Res] Chapter 3 - Page 16

Ok, sorry if that becomes a double post but I was certain that I published my newest page as a post here on Patreon already. Don't know why it didn't show up on the blog. How frustrating...

Anyways, this page took a bit longer than usual. I made a 3D scene in Unity again since there will be more shots o...

What once started as a little experiment for my manga became one of my favorite workflows when it comes to creating some quick sketches or story boards.

[Draft] Chapter 3 - Page 16

Don't know where this is going but I want to provide a full view of the navigation control panel room.

Almost forgot to show the floor which will be also an important detail later.  I chose a view which is almost isometric to capture some certain details.

[High Res] Chapter 3 - Page 15 "Break in"

Phew sorry dear supporters.

There is so much going on recently. Tax clarifications, Halloween preparations and many little birthday gifts for my friends to do, since this month is filled with birthdays apparently.

It's tough to find some calm minutes while also keep track on my commissions.

Anyways, it's tim...

[Draft] Chapter 3 - Page 15: Preparation

I guess it will be one last time to show the procedure behind an ultima activation. Also Winrow will hint something about his secret ultima.

[HD Version] Chapter 3 - Page 14 - Precautions

Whew. I made it... 

It felt a bit unnatural that Leroy came to this quick conclusion just from the limited view through the door window, so that is the reason why I let Winrow point it out here. It will also raises the question if they can trust each other or not.

Originally I wanted to make Winrow using a kn...
