Soledad concept

This is a concept for Soledad's new look. Most of the characters are getting new clothes in Aelenium.
The colors are not final.

Heute gibt's eine concept-Zeichnung von Soledad, da sie wie die meisten Charaktere nach ihrer Ankunft in Aelenium neu engekleidet wird. Die Farben sind noch nicht engültig, das letzte Wort hat da noch Sven. ;)

Status - 11. April

From time to time, we will give you a little insight on how far the work on the comic has progressed.

So far, Yann has scripted the first half the second volume (that will contain 92 pages in total). Mana has drawn a big part of the layouts for these 46 pages and has penciled the first 3 pages. Sven starts coloring now.
If you don't mind getting spoilered, here are some of the layouts:

Concept sketches

In the second book, the setting often changes. So lucky Mana had a lot of concept stuff to draw. You can take a look at some of the character and creature concepts here:

Big changes and an unused cover

The comic was originally planned as an album-sized series with 46 pages per comic, each comic adapting half a book.
But after publishing the first volume in March 2006 and scheduling the second for March 2007, the format was changed. Now each volume will be a smaller hardcover and adapt a whole book on 92 pages.
The first HC, containing the already published album nr. 1 and the second album, will be out in October 2007.

And that's how the unpublished second album would have looked like:
Design/Layout by Michael Vogt! :)
