In the end, I am still not sure if her introduction scene was a good idea or not. Looking back at it , Titani's conversation with Roy and Cet was quite a cliche. But I wanted to foreshadow the political intrigue that underlies the Empyrean court in the first episode. Since it will become relevant later on.
Titani serves almost as a stereot...

A lot of work goes into making these pages. But in the end I think it's worth it. Hope you guys found this interesting!
2021-02-19 09:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I hope you have enjoyed episode 1.5 of Sunmakers. This past month and a half I have been sketching the next pages and I have gotten to episode 1.9 out of 12.
The good news is that, for future updates, there will be a lot more content on individual pages. Almost double the number of panels per page compared to 1....

returning to sapient species concepts, most of these creatures have sadly been removed for one reason or another. The last three will likely be recycled for different comic projects in the future.
Older concepts of Empyreans were more wyvern-like. I changed my mind about them last minute after drawing concepts of how they would move ...

There are about 8 intelligent races on the Azure. I experimented for years with each different one, scrapping them over and over because they just didn't fit with the setting or I didn't like them enough. The 'Misu' in one of the above illustrations is one of those that I ended up removing.
One race that was there from the beginning and I ...

A preview of two plant based sapient species for Sunmakers. These creatures are a mix of flora and fauna. Or as I later dubbed them; Flaura.
The chummon, together with the Mau, are the oldest species in terms of when I first came up with them. I wanted an intelligent, squid/octopus based race that would use machines to protect their frail ...

Happy new year everyone!
I just wanted to say that part 5 of episode one is completely finished as well as the sketches for part 6 and 7.
I want to change my work ethic for Sunmakers updates. Before, I used to finish pages part by part in blocks of 4-8 pages. But now I want to finish the whole episode before I start uploading.

I tested a slightly more detailed art style for the new comic pages but I decided I will not use it for now. I can barely draw humans as it is so making them more realistic would cripple production time even more. Once my art skills catch up to my vision I will reconsider.
Part 5 is well underway. All backgrounds are done. they are all in ...
2020-12-17 10:38:19 +0000 UTC View PostHi there!
Sunmakers is back with weekly uploads until the end of the year. This part is only 4 pages but the next one is already in production and will be twice that length. Progress on part 5 was slow because I had to do many character designs, 3D modelling and I'm still very slow and inexperienced when it comes to drawing humans. A...

"Science, protection, freedom"
These are the core values of house Shynn. And I wanted these to be reflected on their house insignia.
I also threw in an old concept for the dragon statue we saw in part three of episode 1. As well as a scrapped map of the comic's main system.

The showpiece of the comic, always in the background of every poster or promotional piece I have made. Everything resolves around the artificial sun Yllunor, as things tend to do where stars are concerned.
I modeled the star and its enterior in 3D, since its rings would be a nightmare to draw over and over by hand.
The entirior...

Straight outta a nightmare I had when I was a child. Though this rendition is not quite as scary.
I remember all my dreams quite well so it’s fun to bring them into reality.

Cet and Roy's home went through a number of design changes over the years. I always knew it would be at the top of the world, standing tall and prideful above the cloud cover. This mysterious 1 km tall structure was build shortly after Yllunor itself, making it close to 9 thousand years old. Being entirely made out of pure solar stone, it still ...
