In my spare time (of which I unfortunately have far too little as an indie game developer), I work on my own comics, mainly as a writer. My two series, MAYA and DARK ZERO, are currently published by Splitter Verlag and are available in every good comic shop, on Amazon, or directly through Splitter.
Recently, I began working on a new comic series and have been searching for a style that allows me to work on the comic pages conveniently—on my iPad with Clip Studio Paint—while relaxing on the couch with my wife in the evenings. In the video, you can see the style I’m using for this comic: rough blue-line sketches directly followed by inking.
My aim is to achieve a somewhat sketchier, rougher look, as sketches often have a more appealing, dynamic feel than fully refined drawings that focus heavily on details. Ultimately, a comic is primarily about the story! Popular series like Something Is Killing the Children and The Walking Dead show how effective this approach can be.
So here’s LUNA, the main character of my new story, which I’ll be pitching to a publisher in 2025. While I’m keeping the plot under wraps for now, I can share that it’s a sci-fi horror story set in a Bavarian village in Germany.
For more updates and sneak peeks at my projects, feel free to join my Discord channel, where I often share “secret” previews, or follow me on Instagram and other platforms. And lastly, don’t forget to check out my Splitter comics, and please like and subscribe to the YouTube channel. ;)
