"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
This is both a study and a RE:do of an old painting I did that had potential but was definitely left very rough. I remember struggling back in the day, but now it was very relaxing giving it another go.

As mentioned last time when I uploaded the background, this has been a painting that I had planned months, years ago? I’m glad I waited this long to make it though, now that my skills are at this level. I was contemplating putting Zechs Merquise in the veranda. On top of that, I recently got the idea to add Releena next to Noin. Perhaps next year.
I believe this is the first painting or even drawing of Noin, which is surprising since I really like her character. Much like G Gundam, Gundam Wing was my introduction to the Gundam fandom. If time permits I want to make some more Gundam Wing paintings.

This is actually for a RE:do painting. It hasn’t been a whole year yet, but I feel that I have gotten better to the point of giving another chance to paint what I had in mind. Because of certain limitations and because the season wasn’t appropriate I left it half finished. But I will talk more on that when the time comes.

I’ve been wanting to do a fan art regarding a photo of Momochi hiking. But I wasn’t sure what painting style I should go with. I rarely do flat paintings lately so I wanted to try an anime style this time. But now that it’s complete, I want to try it with my style as well. Perhaps at a later date. Hopefully in the future I will understand why it currently it doesn’t please me.
So many ideas I want to draw and paint, so little time…

Been wanting to paint this for quite a bit now. This week has been quite rainy and tomorrow it will apparently be raining all day so it also fits the occasion. The background itself wont be finished till I add the main subject though.

Was just reminded by my brother later in the day that today was G Gundam’s 30th anniversary. That being one of the first Gundam series that I saw as a kid. On top of taking a lot of influences from Hong Kong movies, of course it is still one of my favorite series. With little time I had to come up with something quick to paint to celebrate the occasion. Thank you for all these incredible years.

I finally got to see Frieren last month (thanks to my brother for recommending it). I’m a bit late, but I’m glad I was because I got to binge watch it. The concept felt very fresh to me. What would a being that lives longer than humans feel in terms of time, activities and the importance of the relationships one develops or lack thereof. Now I need to start reading the manga.
Although seeing Frieren in the river was only but a small moment in the anime, I really liked the calm aesthetics of it. But to change it up a bit I wanted to try and get a different vantage point. and also try doing a cross section piece. I really enjoyed and learned a lot while working on this painting. Obviously I want to do more artwork based on the series in the future. There’s so much I want to paint and draw but only so much time available.

This will be the background for one of my recent favorite characters. Although that series has a lot of characters that I like. Because of the amount of details this felt a bit daunting when I first started working on it. But not much one can do except just do it. Having said that, after I finished working on it I decided to buy some transparent rulers to make long straight lines easier and more uniform. I don’t know why I was so hardheaded and didn’t do so earlier.
The background it self made me appreciate Google Maps so much more. I forgot that I could just use it to get background locations from different vantage points and modify my location to get a more aesthetic shot on the fly. I’m so glad I’m living now.

I’ve been wanting to get back to this painting. Surprisingly only a few things were retouched. I remember being hesitant on adding a shadow to Gojo’s face. I used to be so scared of redoing parts that I messed up. It’s amazing how much growth has happened since then.
On another note, I really loved this scene. I’ve been keeping up with the manga, but I seriously need to go back to rewatching the anime.

This is the background for an artwork that I had planned for a couple of years now. I finally got to it.

A while back Meimi had this cute hairstyle that I wanted to try drawing and painting. This time I went for a mixture of my style but also a flat anime style. I need to play with this style more.

A rocky background for a future upload. Might edit further at a later date.
