Contributor's list april 2018 on thaumana.com

So that's how the contributor list on my website looks like which can be seen at the end of several upcoming articles and manga pages. :)

There is still much room for refining the look and layout, but I just wanted to get over with the integration since it was one of my earliest plans to add a list of contributors on my homepage.

Weekly Content: Chapter Cover (Page 3) Redraw

Since I thought that the old manga cover wasn't represantive enough I created another one which contains Chaudine and other key characters at least. It is also the cover for the chapter thumbnail on the homepage: www.thaumana.com

I wish I could draw all day. T_T Since my new study semester had begun I will have not the time to work on two whole pages.

The interface of the scanner was actually very fun to design. on the next page Tsu-Lin and Lero will also use one. If you take a closer look and mirror the interface you can see Chaudine's Jobclass.

Folks, I messed up with the numbers of pages and actually all page numbers from the last cover on page 42 were labelled incorrectly since they all are actually a number below. So we are actually see the development of page 55 now.

Just noticed it while uploading all the pages on my homepage.

Redraw Page 9 & 10


 A while ago some of my patrons mentioned that the tryst scene on page 9 made a strange impression. It was not clear enough that Taya's tattoo is burning slowly so I made it more obvious. Since the double page cover of page 3-4 has been scrapped has been replaced with a single page now, I changed the page numbers from this cover page to p.9.

p.54-55 (completed)


 This pages gave me a rough time again, haha. I got the feeling that I need to outline and design the whole ship on one illustration already. It would be good reference for upcoming scenes and also a nice bonus for my website gallery. Oh besides, I will launch the site on sunday. Random info drop, nyoh.

This week's pace is a bit slowly. It is also my last week for my internship and I already can't wait for the weekend to start with all my project stuff.

Sketches p. 53-54 (Monster Assault)

The situation is getting tense after Tsu-lin brought up how carelessly Chaudine has acted during the fight against the floraptor, since the boy could have been hurted by her ultima, although it was  her duty as soldier to protect civilians (what a sentence lmao). Chaudine ignores the assertion and wants to know the r...

Haha sorry for being late again. The last two weeks were stuffed with work and crunch times. Can't wait for the end of my internship to get more free time again. °_°''

With this pages we draw nearer to the upcoming encounter of both teams and, of course, the gigantic boss monter from the ocean.

I thought it would make the relationship between Winrow and Taya more dynamical if I let them have an argument about the not fully controllable thorns. Also we continue with Chaudines view of the plot which is also an introduction of Leroy.

It is just a little funny moment to ease the serious tone. But I love how this scene turned out because I planned the conversation between those two long time ago and now I am glad that I could finally finished it.

Page 48-49 Outlining

To be honest... I am still not sure where it goes regarding Taya addiction to the aphrosodiac drink but since I have some story key scenes in mind I am excited myself to build the whole thing up until then.

Page 46-47 (Done)


I wasn't satisfied with the early pose of Taya  on page 46 so I tweak it a lot and even need multiple references to get an optimized perspective.

Page 48-49 (Sketch)

Taya was going to sip a bit of the aphrosodic bottle since she is an addicted but Winrow prevented her from drinking. Then she confronted him with the question why he didn't already untie himself, which put him on the spot, because...

Taya noticed that the manadome seem to be deactivated and get dressed to clean the monster mess up.

Never get tired to draw Taya, I admit it. These and the next pages will demonstrate a bit of Winrow's thorn ability.

There are some important details hidden on this page, but I don't want to tell which one beforehand.

Page 42-43 (Lining)

My internship has arrived at the final step and we plan to release the first build of a learning app for the google store tomorrow. It got a bit rough because of that and I supposed to get faster at drawing but i admit the whole crunching slows me down a bit. Regardless, still excited anyway to begin with the second half of the prologue since my two main characters are finally going to act out.

Page 42-43 Sketch


Finally the actual introduction of the two protagonists Winrow and Taya.  I am feeling nostalgic regarding the second page because there were soooo many versions of this one in the past. I will feature some of them in the next days after my new versions get finished.

Red Facts #1 - Ultima & Obolus

So we finally got to the first red facts section. I am excited to create something like this because in my part as a reader I am always interested in all kind of trivia facts which the creators and comic/manga artists provides. The red facts section is also a wrap-up version of the more detailed article which will be featured on my future blog.

Phew... sorry for the long silence.

my internship has gotten a bit stressful recently and I am still trying to get out of my rut after the exhausting contest thing.

But good news... If everything works out fine the next days I guess my website will finally launch during february. Until then I am going to present some preview stuff here on patreon.

Happy new year everyone. i did it. I was in time and could finish my contest manga.


And I want to start with my new drawing style asap since this contest thaught me a lot of new workflows. Maybe you will see a difference, maybe not. For my part, I noticed how fast I am now when it comes to outline the characters with ther pose.

Added some sparks and damage particles to the older pages for a better visualisation of the impact. The toning part actually cost the most time because I have to fill out every little gap of each single canvas. That's why I thought it would be better to come up with a new toning style beginning from page...

Page 35 (Complete) + Ultima Data

So in order to cast an Ultima a specific condition, the Obulus, has to be met. It is possible to enhance the effect by fulfilling the condition mutliple times. The more chilli peppers Chaudine would eat the stronger her attack would become.

I am working on my newest articles at my website and the current topic is about the Ultima. Ultima are special magic skills and each of them require a fulfilled Obulus which i mentioned earlier. As I said, Chaudine's Ultima is eating chilli peppers.
