MAYA #2 is OUT NOW!

It's here! The second installment of my science-fiction superhero comic series MAYA, developed by me (I'm the creator / writer) and published in album format by Splitter Verlag in Germany, is now available! Both the first and second volumes are available as stylish hardcover editions in comic shops, online, or directly from Splitter Verlag. The interior art is done by Ricardo Silva with cover art by Tina Valentino. The colors are done by VAGRANT and Arif Prianto.

What many readers don’t realize: MAYA is a German original production—not a licensed comic from the USA or the Franco-Belgian market. And because it’s an entirely new series, it needs your support! Many comic shops and fans may not know this yet or could be waiting to purchase the books until the series is complete (the first story arc will consist of three parts).

This is where you come in:
To help MAYA gain the recognition it deserves, we need to spread the word to all comic fans out there! Building a small but dedicated fanbase for MAYA—and for my second comic project, DARK ZERO—will make it easier to convince comic shops and publishers to continue supporting these German comics. This, in turn, will allow me to bring you even more stories from the world of MAYA and the DARK ZERO universe in the future. And I have big plans for both! ;)

So please, help share this message with all the comic lovers out there!

Thank you so much for your support!
Your Chris

Chris Perfect Pencil Brush for Clip Studio Paint – Free Download!

As a comic artist, I’ve been experimenting with creating the perfect pencil brush for Clip Studio Paint. I needed something versatile for sketching character designs, laying out comic pages, and even working on light and shadow greyscales—all directly on my iPad.

After a full day of trial and error, I finally developed a brush that works like a dream. It’s now my go-to tool for everything:

• Thumbnailing layouts
• Drawing detailed page designs
• Adding shading and greyscale tones

While I’ve tried other apps like Procreate on the iPad, Clip Studio Paint remains my top choice for digital drawing—whether I’m working on my iPad or my Wacom Cintiq. There’s just something about the flow and feel of Clip Studio tools that makes it unbeatable for penciling.

Do you want my new brush? It is easy to get... just help me spread the word about my comics MAYA and DARK ZERO (available in Germany as we speak) and then DOWNLOAD the brush HERE! ;)
Or just click on the sketch image below to start the download. On how to use and install a brush in Clip Studio Paint check there help pages.

Have fun and do not forget to share your works.

Supergirl

Did I ever mention that I’m a huge Superman fan? ;) ... But you know what… that’s exactly why I’ve rarely dared to bring him to paper. It’s intimidating! So, I always end up sketching Supergirl in my “Drawing by Imagination” sessions instead. :) Hehe.
But I love this character just as much and would love to officially draw her one day. Did you hear that, DC Comics? :) Hehe.

BTW: If you want to see a video of the drawing process you can go to my TikTok and later YouTube.

🎨 New Beginnings in Digital Sketching! 🎨

I've decided to take most of my practice sketches digital from now on! 🖥️✨ While digital drawing (especially in comics) has its downsides—like not being able to sell original comic pages—there are so many benefits to explore. One of them? Sharing my work with you in a whole new way! 🌟

I’m planning to post most of my sketching videos on TikTok 🎥—showcasing my process and creative journey. Most of this sketches exclusively! So, if you’re a fan of comics, sketching, digital painting, or tools like Clip Studio, Photoshop, or Procreate, be sure to follow me here:

Millarworld rocks!

I have been a huge fan of Mark Millar for years and proudly call myself a Millarworlder since the early days of the Millarworld forum.
Today, I’m excited to share my take on one of his most iconic characters… Hit-Girl!
