[Location Scene] Queen Marine Food Court

This is the new panel  that replace the shot of the ship on page 4 of chapter 1. The ship has been renamed again. I think I will stick with "Queen Marine".

This new location consists more tourist sights and plants to make it look more like a hotel.

I took way too long to draw all this so this will serve as a good exercise and lesson for the upcoming redraws with overall shots of other locations.

I have much fun watching the second season of Re.Zero so far. Impulsive and aggressive characters like Garfiel are usually the stereotype easily hate but I kinda like him, can't say why exactly.

And yeah, just felt like drawing both together. Don't ask why, I don't know tbh.

[Illustration] 404 - Under Construction

Oh man, yesterday I spent the whole day and night with fixing a lot of issues on my website which was caused by the new wordpress update. I finally got to the point where the layout of my pages looks more or less okay now.

I drew an illustration just on this occasion.

This girl's name is Metty by the way. She is a passionate builder. It will take a while until you get to see her in the manga but I will showcase her more in the future through other content like my upcoming merch de...

Roll from the classic Rockman series has a simple design, so it was very fun to draw her. I kept the color palette low for, just to find out how the contrast would look like. I must say that I really like it and want to try some more doodles of that kind out.

Typhon the Witch of Pride from the anime / light novel  Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World.

Couldn't resist to draw this little cutie. I didn't use lots of shades as I used to do, but I like the light coloring like this better.

I have gotten into vtube fandom since a while and had much fun watching all the hololive videos. Miko, Coco and Fubuki are my favorites and recently I have grown fond of Aloe Mano, one of the recruits from the youngest vtuber generation. Sad circumstances led eventually to her retirement after only 2 weeks ...

I struggled a lot with the coloration process of this one. The darker colors felt completely off but I can't put my finger on it how it could have been improved.

I changed the angle of Erk's hand because it looks to orthogonal in relation to his body and added Serra's healing stuff.

Phew you won't believe how many versions I made of this one. I am glad that I got another summer related work done at least. I enjoy drawing bikini girl artworks haha.

This one was a redraw of another fanart of mine I drew 4 years ago. I remember how I wasn't satisfied with the overall execution be...

[Character Portrait] Lord Gremorey Malevolus (WIP)

Unfinished portrait of Gremorey the supreme leader of the military nation of Ares and Winrow's and Chaudine's father.

A man with an ambivalent character who is hungry for power and knowledge. Does he care for his family? No one knows for sure...

Hamefura is one of my favorite series of this year. I like young Catarina during the time of her childhood  and loved the scene where she was eating bread. I wanted to draw my own version of it and was pretty satisfied with the outcome.

[HD Manga Page] Chapter 4 - Page 32+32 "Activation"

I put much thought into the depiction of the monster elimination and eventually came up with the idea of the glowing patterns which expand throughout the body of those creatures. They should really look like they are suffering from the burning pain of the magic barrier.

The next page(s) will be tough since it will be a double page. Only two or three more eto go until we reach the end of this chapter!

[Illustration] Shariya - Chaos Mythologist Pledge Icon

The final design for the third Patreon tier.

You can't see it from this angle but Shariya is actually wearing a combination of a hoodie and a scarf. Her ahoge and the hair tails are also part of her new design. I like the revamped look quite a lot, it makes pretty fun to draw her lineart.

The continent depicted on the map is Victorea, the continent where the story is mainly taking place.

By the way, the uploads of all the psds for the atwork database is still keeping me busy...

[Patron Poll Sketch] Emilia (Re:Zero)

A sketch of Emilia-tan suggested by patron Sorarinya from the community thread! I used to draw sketches with rougher lines but somehow this one turned out pretty clean and refined.

The thread is still active and it is an open end poll, so you can always suggest your stuff there as much as you want. 

[Draft] Chaos Prologue - Additional Manga Page: Mud Monster

One of many new manga pages for chapter 1. I don't have a specific order, in which I want to draw the additional scenes and pages for the prologue chapter. I guess it will be a bit confusing for the beginning  to see through the scenes depicted on those pages but I assure you, as soon as I'm done with the changes you will see the bigger picture.

This mud monster is one of many abdominational organic body parts of the giant xenobeast at the beginning. It will replace the strange loo...

[Draft] Shariya - Stormrider Outfit

I drew a doodle of Shariya with her stormrider clothes. The design of her clothes are nor final. I am still experimenting with some patterns and lines. She should look kinda sporty and cool at the end but also should be easy to draw.

[Lineart] Shariya (Pledge Icon) (WIP)

Currently preparing the icon illustration for the Mythologist Pledge. It is kinda sad that she won't get a proper introduction until the end of this story arc but I decided to keep her back because the roster is already crammed. I like her newly added ahoge though.

I tried my best to stay productive at the hottest day of the week and wanted to start at least a little doodle at morning for a smoother warmup.

The heat of summer is really my biggest nemesis when it comes to my drawing process. Not only because my graphic pad gets quite hot but also because it is...

A video of my Cirno doodle. Despite just being a doodle it still took me a while to draw it also because my computer couldn't handle the heat and my drawing software crashed once.

I changed her eye at the end and got rid of the shine because I think Cirno looks cuter thsi way.

[Draft] Chapter 4 - Page 32 + 33

The next pages present a transition to Louma's and Tsulin's current location where the activation is going to have an impact on the creatures on this floor.

[HD Manga Page] Chapter 4 -31"Key Activation"

Page 31 is finally done. I honestly give it a lot of thought how I want visualize the manadome activation and eventually decided to go with filigran patterns, also because it would give me some artistic freedom for the glowing lineart.

I tend to forget the fact that the floor is flooded.

This page took also a bit longer than the previous ones because I tried several new texture and hatching elements out. This is also the first page where I used the same brush for the hair and the ...

Drawing this cute  little witch for the warm-up after I got almost drown in my paperworks. It was pretty satisfying how smooth this draft turned out.  She also hasn't too many details on her clothes and items so she was the perfect choice for a short drawing session.

I found the time to record another smooth drawing process. It took me around 45 minutes. I always wanted to draw that cute little witch. Maybe I do a colored version in the future, but I wouldn't mind honestly if this work stays as it is right now since I am really satisfied with the outcome.

[HD Sketch] Erk & Serra (Fire Emblem)

Erk and Serra from The Blazing Blade. Poor Erk. Thought he could delve into some old books in the library  for his studies.

I used to love either the goofy and the quirky characters in the Fire Emblem games the most since their dialogues were always more entertaining than the ones of the other more seriously written characters.

[Character Portrait] Cpt. Helenore Manati

Haha who would have thought that she would turn out to be the first character that gets revamped in my new style. Well, I have never shown her old portrait before, so I guess it is kinda a premiere.

Manati knows her friend Tsulin from her time at university and was a part of the famous hunter guild Wilde Jagd (German for "Wild Hunt"). At some point in time her guild boss who is also the manager of a big luxury hotel chain (named after their devoted guild) offered her a job in one of his...

It took about 40 minutes for the Malon doodle and I damped it down to 15 minutes. The pose came out pretty naturally, I am really glad that it went so smoothly. I only needed to correct the size of her hair afterwards a bit.

More practice with my new pencil-like style. I think I am on a really good way to refine my new style. I feel comfortable with it and I can clearly see that I got faster with it.

I also recorded another video of my process for the 5$ Patreon tier. My low work memory of my computer makes it hard to ...

[HD Manga Page] Chapter 4, Page 29 + 30

Hey, everyone. We are close to the end of chapter 4. I guess 3 more pages are left. I am really looking forward to Chapter 5 already since there are many scenes which I already came up with long ago before I started to draw the first pages of the prologue.

It was crucial to shine some light on Leroy's character. He is highly loyal to Chaudine but in comparison to her he would never be ruthless and sacrifice other people's life just to fulfill his duties.

Character Sketches - Request Thread

My new more dynamic and smooth pencil brush gives me some new opportunities to practice, so I thought it might be a nice idea to so some monochrome and quick sketches once in a while which you, my dear Patrons,  can request here.

I don't think that I can deliver on a weekly basis since my schedules are still kinda packed and as I said... it will be just sketches for now, so don't expect too much. I just think they make a nice change of pace and it could be also an interesting appro...

[Concept Design] The Ocean Queen - Turtle Island

I am working on my redraws of my first chapters in parallel and one of the major changes will be the location. While the events still take place at sea, the setting changed  from a futuristic warship to a giant mechanic turtle which serves as holiday place with a luxury hotel.

There are many reasons why I made this decision. One of them was to convey a stronger impression for the prologue with a more interesting location. A more crucial reason was the setup for the general escalate...

More practice with my new rough and hatching-heavy style.

I still need some routine but I am satisfied with the result and think that I am on a good way.

I am a big fan of the YuGiOh franchise in general. The GX series was just ok though. But I think Rei/Blair was the cutest! I want to draw her ...
