This page took a bit longer. I wanted to draw the Sealion from another perspective. The holycopter was the most time consuming part, especially the front view.
This holycopter is already an updated version with slight changes of the holy water tank design and the missile launcher positions. The problem about the old one was that it ridiculously looked like a smiling face and I wanted to a...

I dealt with my migraine quite a lot these days, so work was not that fruitful as I originally planned for this weekend. Kinda frustrating.
This is my first official draft of the holycopter, an air combat vehicle, associated with the theocracy of the St. Gloriya Church. Since it will get its first appearance on the next manga page I had to work out the overall design at this p...

Checkmate for Chaudine...?
As far as I know, although she is always showing hostile attitude towards several characters she is still comparatively popular among my readers. I'm quite happy about this fact since I consider her one of the most interesting characters of my current cast who still has many different facets to offer in the near future.
Drawing this explosion was qui...

Page 12 will introduce a new faction: The church. An air force unit has been sent out to eliminate the giant chaos beast. However Chaudine already managed to kill the alpha invador before the missiles of the fighter could hit the monster unbeknownst to the pilot. This leads to a chain of misunderstandings which will be crucial for the development of the next events.

A redraw of one of my oldest monster creations. In an early version of the prologue chapter which take place in a dungeon deep underground the miner troll was supposed to be the first chaos creature that the protagonists would have encountered.
Thanks to its mechanic helmet it is able to see in the dark and to shoot a deadly laser beam.
Although I had to change the locations and the...

It bothered me that I could not find a consistent coloration style over the last weeks which also safe me the trouble to pick the right values for every color while maintain a good contrast of dark and light. I ultimately decided to go back to the stronger sepia tones since my older style during the first chapter was inspired by the concept art of Marcos Mateu-Metre. The only two main dif...

I think on of my big weaknesses is to convey the visualization of explosions, of destructive fire power. So this was one again a page to challenge myself regarding those effects.
The other problem wich I always have is to decide where to place the balloons since they can be a good tool to narrate the viewer but can be also confusing by covering essential sections of the panels. Ther...

Still experimenting with colors, light and darkness... I think I'm on a good way and it didn't take too many days to finish this.
I 'm using a lot of stroke and crosshatching brushes lately. It makes it easy to convey dynamic movements and keep the overall style simple, I guess.

Two pages to go until we return to our intricate situation at the bridge again. This two pages will serve as test ground for my new style since it will be interesting how dynamical action scenes can be conveyed on this canvas texture together with all the characters and movement. We'll see how long it take this time. Hopefully not too long.

Damn headache doesn't want to go away... makes it hard to focus on my work, it kinda pisses me off.
So this is the page which features a new style which is closer to the sepia style and makes the composition look more drafty. It is particularly not so time consuming like the general colored pages, so I want to give this style a try for the next few pages.

Whew, page 4 is finally done. I decided to experiment a bit longer. My goal was a new style which makes it easier to color and outline within a short time span. Ironically it took a lot of time to figure it out after several try and errors. But I think I reached a point where I found the brushes and the coloring style that would fit my workflow best.
I value consistency so I will most lik...

This is an illustration which I started to draw last year around the time shortly before Halloween and I'm about to finish it.

Yeah fanservice heavy pages incoming.
Usually I have problems with giving a scene the right contrast when I work with monochrome tones. However with colors it feels somehow a bit easier to adjust the nuanced contrast for the darker and brighter areas which helps to add depth to the overall composition.
