"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
In the rough draft I had a simpler brick layout but after looking at some reference photos I decided to redo it all again before converting it to color. Choosing what the contents of the gachapons actually took me a while to decide on.

This is actually a RE:do from 2022. I decided to re-paint not only Misaki but also the whole background. From there I then simplified my painting all over. This time I also decided to actually add in a sports bra this time. There were also other details I changed but you can compare it if interested. Here is the old version:

I’ve had this rough draft waiting for quite a while, was it months now? Don’t quite remember. The folder says it was created back in 2024… But as of today I have yet to make any progress, I’m currently working on some other paintings. Hopefully I will go back to it soon.

It is the end of Spring. This will be the final Spring painting for this year. Since the last time I uploaded the background, I decided that it just didn’t look right. It became super apparent when I added Shiro. This time I decided to go for a flat anime style.

Crazy but Spring is coming to a close, I have one more Spring painting before we move on to the Summer.
The original idea for this painting was from an Inktober drawing I did back in 2024 day 8. I was a bit overwhelmed throughout the whole process but eventually got into the flow of things.
I wonder how long it took Ryoga this time to get back home?

In the end to fit in with the background I had painted before, I chose to resize and crop the model Shiro.
On another note, I feel conflicted about drawing the line art digitally with Clip Studio. I really love drawing with dip pens and actual ink, but drawing it digitally is great for when I paint or add want to modify things digitally at later processes. Be it painting or adding screen tones and hatching. Although when I think about it, I could always do it traditionally and then just redo it digitally when I have a better idea of what my plans end up being. Luckily by this point I have gotten used to just redrawing it all.
