Building a New City

Hey! This is a bit out of the ordinary for me, but I'm going to be trying to blog a bit more than usual again. Hope this sticks. Anyway, I'm almost caught up with the manga pages that I have done. Which means the pages after that will involve a new kingdom. The set for the rest of the chapter and the next is Icenoz.

Big huh? Yeah I know it's lacking in the buildings and trees but I hope to have that resolved by next week. That said the next update after this might be late because I also have some homework due that week. But rest assured it will be done and it will be big. Bigger than Ulus in fact!



I already have the castle finished so the rest is all buildings and trees. I have about 8 different buildings so far (10 if you count two of the guilds from Ulus) but I need a lot more. Wish me luck!

Chapter 6 Pgs 10-12- The Third Warrior

Hello! It's time for another three page Friday update of ThunderKid! The conversation between Strato and Blizzana continues as the leader tries to cool her down a bit. But there's a new mission and yet another Warrior ready to show his face! Enjoy! I will see you next time!

Chapter 6 Pgs 7-9- Meeting at Brashan

Hi! It's update time again with three new pages of Chapter 6! While Denki and Flarai bear with the facts, back at Brashan a recovering Blizzana gets a surprise visit from Strato. And something seems to be eating at her other than failing her mission. Enjoy! Next week we'll have more! See you then!

Chapter 6 Pgs 3-6- Nighttime Sightseeing

Hey hey hey! How are you all doing? Well it's that time again and this week Chapter 6 takes off with four pages! Denki and Flarai are taking in some sights on their way to Icenoz.



Meanwhile a random (and blunt) little girl spots them. Enjoy! In other news there is some new fanart of Denki by reader Sakura Chu! Thank you again Sakura! And please try to watch my blog sometime next week. I'll be doing some updates then. See you next week!

Hey! I am pleased to announce that the ThunderKid forum has been reloaded and renewed! Hopefully this forum will be more active than the last one. It already looks nicer IMO.

Chapter 5 Pgs15-17- A Cinderella Moment

Hi everybody! It's that time again and I have three more pages this week as the story continues. Try as she might, the little Vaploud girl can't hide who she is from Aki. But a quick reenactment of a fairy tale ought to allay her fears! Enjoy! See you all next time!

Warriors of the Storm: Blizzana of Snow and Ice

In Chapter 3 you readers were introduced to the lovely Warrior of the Storm Blizzana. She’s on Hurrican’s side so that makes her a villain but as Chapter 4 shows she has a much, much deeper and softer side. I’m happy that people like her so much because I did my best to make her interesting.

Here’s the character sheet. As Strato’s second in command she does her best to do what is not only right by him but also honorable as a warrior. Unfortunately she’s a bit unbalanced because of what Hurrican does to empower his Warriors. (We’ll see what that is later) This probably goes without saying but she has a huge crush on her leader.

This is Blizzana’s very first sketch back in 1999. Weird looking right?

The second sketch was taller but she still has a snarky look about her.

When I went full manga on ThunderKid I tried making her look more regal.

Here’s a pic I did after I rebooted the manga for the final time. I was going to turn this into a color pic for a future cover. I still may.

Finally, I’ll send you all off with a mini manga. Enjoy!

See you on Friday!

Chapter 5 Pgs12&14- And down will come Clode

Hey kids! It's that time again and this week's three pages puts the new little girl as well as Aki in a bit of a spot. Imagine suddenly waking up in a high tree and then losing your balance. How will Aki handle this? Read on and see. I'll see you again next week!

Vaploud Kids of Volume 1 PART 2: Ula, Cume, and Clode

Hello! Starting with the last post I’m going to be posting little things like this in the blog. So I thought I’d do one on the kids of the Vaploud that we’ve been introduced to so far.

Here’s little Ula sans her pitchfork. Around 6-7 years old she’s a bit of a fireplug as you’ve seen from Chapter 4. No stranger to the troubles of Atmos but she still maintains some of the innocence found in girls her age. She wants to be a great defender someday.

Cume is the older brother of age 11-12 making him the oldest kid of the cast (so far). He’s a lot more level-headed and mature than Ula and even the rest of the kids (Aki and Haruka included) so he appears laidback. He’s also a bit of a workaholic when the parents leave him in charge.

Here are some of the first sketches of the two from around 2005. They were around the same age when I made them and were more typical in character than they are now.

Here’s an early picture of Clode who was just introduced. Hair’s about the same but her uniform is a little different. A bit more about her is that she goes to an academy around Ulus. She’s around 9-10 too like the rest of the kids.

Another Ula and Cume sketch.

This picture of Cume is like the one I did of Ula. I plan to color it someday.

Finally here’s a pic of little Ula, Clode and the new baby dragon. Clode as per usual is giving herself first aid to her latest skinned knee while Ula plays with the dragon. ^^ This is one that I also plan to color soonish. So please keep an eye out for it!

Vaploud Kids of Volume 1 PART 1: Introducing Clode

With page 11, Clode is introduced to the ThunderKid cast. She's kind of a guest right now but she may show up again in future chapters. You'll also notice the new Atmos dragon. I won't give away too much but just know that she's a little bit clumsy as evidinced by the band-aids. ^_^ If she looks familiar then you probably saw her somewhere in the middle of Chapter 2. Her model's a bit different to when she appeared but it's the same girl. I'll post more soon.

Chapter 5 Pgs10&11- Rock-a-bye Clode

Hey all! I'm back! At last I have two new pages for Chapter 5! This week Aki takes a look to see who's in trouble outside and he's pretty surprised at what he finds. Enjoy! I will see you next week!
