Sketch of my rough composition for the upcoming Impostor Factory artwork. Unlike past character group artworks of the series, working out the constellation of the characters in this drawing went pretty smoothly since I had this composition in mind from the very beginning. It's still quite challenging since I have to color a lot.
More updates about my projects later!

Time to keep track of my beach fanart again. This time I want to keep working on it even though summer has ended. I usually drew more bikini-related artworks during the summer, but I eventually ask myself why it has to be like that, since I'm really enjoy drawing girls with bikinis (I can't help but enjoy it!!). So yeah, nothing wrong about drawing bikini art during other seasons, right?
I decided to make two color versions of Sonja's swimsuit. Green and red - like her costumes in Dual ...

Getting quicker with my lineart recently. I'm switching between 3 different outline brushes for different shading and cross-hatching techniques, so drawing feels more intuitive and smoothly now.
I felt like the previous character dialogues of the introduction pages were a bit dull because of the character's designs, so I decided to integrate another OC of mine who was supposed to appear in the later arcs with an interesting design.
Her name is Violess Videllaty. She is a so-called...

A cute looking Taya. This was a header that I drew for my Japanese NSFW fanpage. I like how it turned out, especially her hair and the overall not-to-explicit depiction.
Reminds me that I plan to leave a hint in the prologue chapter regarding her actual age. Since she has experienced Winrow's childhood and adolescence, she must be obviously quite older than him. That trope, haha.

These are the drafts of the illustration for the interior wall at my aunt's new café. Since I will use wall painting colors, the illustration will only consist of clear colors and neither shades nor soft gradient color transitions.

Sorry for my low output this week. A lot of healthcare and family arrangements to do, but I will finally have some more time this weekend for some proper updates then.
Also, it's getting a bit busy since I'm currently building up my new alternative support page.
This guy here is one of my rather sillier creations, but he is also actually one of my oldest OCs that I created around my days at school. Back then, he was also just featured in some random gag comics I did for my schoolm...

Phew... Never thought that reworking on this site would take so much additional time. I noticed that Winrow still had the old design of his jacket, so I add the changes. I also added the new textures and used them for the background as well. For the background, I redrew the futuristic gouges on the walls and made the shapes more simplistic, to make them look more like a hard surface and create a stronger focus on the ice crystal girl (Shariya) behind the protagonists.
All in all, I'm re...

Just a random idea that came into my head when I saw a tweet about Pokémon hats. I have some more ideas. Let's see if have the motivation to make more.

The new redrawn introduction page is almost done!
I am still searching for a suitable texture for the vines.
In an early version of the redraw page the perspective between Chaudine and Tsu-Lin were swapped. Additionally, Chaudine got restrained and tied by the vines instead of chains now. It might be a just little difference, but you will get behind their origins soon enough.

I became faster with my lineart now and the first batch for chapter 1 should be finished in about 1 or 2 weeks I think.
Now I'm practicing with different simple gradient textures to make some elements in the panels stick out more than others. Winrow's jacket for example. Initially, I also used an ordinary chess-like dot texture for it, as I do for the other clothes and the hair. I saw the straight line texture in some doujinshi and really like the visual effect of it, so I tried it out ...

The finished version of my recent fanart of The Great Ace Attorney.
I didn't like Gregson's weird hand holding and the position of the right fish-and-chips bag,so I corrected the height. Now it looks more like he is holding the bag in front of her, I think.
I also added a slight purple shadow for the lower body part which was a common advice of my mentor, an easy method to add some more depth and more eye focus to the upper body part. I didn't use too much hard shades this time an...

Based on the anime YuGiOh! Sevens (episode 55). Romin is my favorite character in the new YuGiOh series, and I'm really satisfied how the anime treats all the heroine characters this time. When Romin commented on the summoning of the Light Dolphin (unofficial name) regarding how cute it was, I really wanted to dr...

One of the first pages which I redid with my new sketch pen. I only took less than a half of the day for this one, so it seems like I'm finally on a good way to speed up the workflow for my pages.
I also used manga-like gradient textures and a harder and clean brush pen for the speech bubbles this time. Hard thin lines look better for the speech bubbles in my opinion.
In the earlier version of this page it was the right girl with the longer hair who took the photo of Taya on her p...

This will be the last randomly picked page for my training session before we can finally go back to the regular page release order.
I used an old brush and did some minor tweaks in the stroke options. I usually tend to switch between different brushes for different kind of lines, but this time I used the same brush for almost every layer, be it for the background or the characters. It is a style I feel pretty comfortable with now. Let's see how it goes.

I beat The Great Ace Attorney just yesterday and this was one of my earliest ideas that popped up in my head. I like generation-gap mentor-apprentice-relationships like that of inspector Gregson and Gina in the second game.
There are still some things to tweak here, so I want to take a bit more time for it.

This is kinda a WIP because I wanted to draw an expression sheet with a character from The Grad Ace Attorney but I felt like barely having time to do it full-colored. So I decided to draw Susato, the lawyer assistent of the protagonist Ryunosuke.
I am currently playing the game and I'm really intrigued by the story. Pretty certain that there will be more fanarts of this game series by me in the future.

So... you are probably are wondering what the hell a traffic wizard is...
To be frank, I don't know. I just saw a road cone on the street and came up with this silly idea. I already know how I can incorporate this old dude into my story as he would fit in my second story arc.

I'm going to finish some character portraits which I want to use for my character file descriptions this month. To get my first batch of manga pages and portraits done within just a few days I will be using a rough but hard clean brush for more loose linearts.
Kiliarna was the first character that serves as my warm-up doodle with my 'new' brush. She is the new maid who will be one of the eight involved characters and a witness in the first murder case.

Gina Lestrade from the Great Ace Attorney. A pickpocket girl who lives in the slums
of London. I like her design a lot. Maybe this will get a full-body version in the future. I want to add Iris Watson too.
A first look at the redesign of the giant turtle xenobeast that is going to attack the ship where the prologue chapter takes place.
I ultimately decided to give the fortress on its back a Japanese stylized design because the mob monster enemies in the prologue chapter are also based on Japanese folklore.
This tower took a crazy amount of time and work. I'm still thinking of a good way to recycle the designs for other panels, so I can hopefully save some time. I'm glad I found suit...

Lately struggling with getting my outlines and brushstrokes right, so I tried to draw something completely rough, including an old man character, namely Duessel from FE, since old men are always a good simple warm-up doodle for me. In the end, I'm glad this one it turned out nicely. It helps a lot to get slowly into the groove again.

Sorry, everyone. I deal with some issues with my work schedule and mental health lately, so I have to postpone my relaunch for my manga a month later, which was supposed to be at the end of July.
I will upload most of my WIPs of my projects on the way, to make up for it.
So speaking of which, Floraptors will play a completely different role in my new prologue as they did before. I wanted to create a new concept draft of them, although I still think the old artworks aren't bad, but...

Currently experimenting with my color style and did a particularly rough line at of Winrow's cousin. She is a plant adept and can summon vines similar to Winrow's Ultima. She has a different Obolus to fulfill the summon condition, but you will witness it in the prologue chapter soon.

Took an eternity to finish this one! I reached a point where I always kept correcting and adding elements, until my roommate (who commissioned this work) had to stop me, haha.
The biggest challenge of the whole process was the size of all characters in relation to their distance to each other. I realized that there was quite a lot about perspective theory that I didn't know before. And I still struggled a lot with the colors. This composition was tough in particular because it is a scen...

The raw 10th page without speech bubbles. At this point, I want the reader to realize that those two characters are talking about the same mysterious girl who can be seen on page 2-4, also implying that this is the same location as depicted in the introduction scene.

I'm done with the main composition work on it, but there are still lots of things that need some improvement. Lighting and general color tweaking for instance. I always feel like my senses for colors is a bit wrecked because there are spots on my bigger artworks that feel off. One of them are they skin colors that don't seem to correspond well with the light sources and red and yellow tones. Additionally, I want to achieve a cold and warm contrast to make the different ...

A decent fanservice scene... °x°
A scene that will take place between around page 10-25. Manati wants to follow up a complaint that was seemingly made by one of her customer guests from a certain room according to the maid from my previous posts days ago. It turns out that this was just a false pretense to lure her into an isolated room, where she finds one of her co-workers being held captive.

More progress of my manga. One of many changed scenes. I wanted to keep the numbers of characters generally low this time, so I reduced the amount of bridge crew members too in this scene.
In this scene, we learn from the vice-captain and his assistant coordinator that there is some kind of threat and for some reason they can't take any countermeasures.

A test page where I want to try out different color combinations that have to harmonize with the sepia-looking background.
It is a changed version and an expansion of Tsu-Lin's dialogue with Captain Manati in the café. A mysterious maid (Audrey) approaches Manati and tells her, that a guess want to talk with her in their room.
