"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I was thinking of what I should have done as my first art piece of the year. I was looking at some references from Oboro Muramasa and when I saw the food paintings I decided to do just that. In our household we make tamales for Christmas and New Years, usually accompanied with an egg and a coffee. I tried going off memory.
Things don’t look too promising but hopefully this isn’t too bad. Hope you guys have a good one.

Today is the final day of 2024. This year sucked and the coming years don’t seem very promising. But despite that I hope me and my family can overcome what ever comes our way.
Drawing is just a quick sketch that I then finished with Clip Studio. Hope I can put more effort on future art, we’ll see. I’m also planning to draw something for the first day of the year, but I guess that depends on how I feel.

In focusing on painting and trying to understand color I started neglecting form and proportions. So it’s time I go back to basics and start drawing again. I’ve notice I find it much easier and natural to do so traditionally. I’ve been feeling a bit off so hopefully I can get back in the groove soon.

I seem to be a little burnt out so today is just a practice painting of an eye that I found online.

I’m running a bit late with this painting. I was hoping to make two Christmas paintings, but oh well.
I was having a hard time on how I should decorate Gojo’s room. The idea was to have them both watching either some Christmas videos or planning their next costume. One thing I knew for sure is that I wanted some snowman so I added them on the window. In terms of the decorations I wanted them to be quickly put together as this would be a new thing for Gojo and Marin would most likely bring them for him. So I wanted it to be minimal. That in turn though made the room a bit barren so I decided to have some tea/coffee or hot chocolate cups present. It’s not much but it made it much cozier in my opinion.
As I was painting I was contemplating whether to have the monitor in front of them or not. It’d be a shame if I didn’t upload that version either since I spent quite a bit of time on it as well (especially Gojo’s sweater design).
Merry Christmas, hope you guys have a good one.

This will be the background for a future painting. There are certain details that I have yet to add. I also haven’t started painting the actual subjects but I do have a general idea of what I want. Hopefully it works out.

I’m currently working on a Christmas painting but time has been reduced a bit lately. So although I wanted to leave this painting for later I decided to finish it today. There were a few tweaks that I had to do last minute today to fit in more with Rin Shima’s gear. I had added some falling snowflakes but decided to omit it and only left some lit particles on the fire.

I want to paint some winter and seasonal art, but due to being a bit busy I was a bit flustered as to starting something new. Specially since I wanted to upload a background or rough draft today. That’s when I remembered that I had a couple of drawing that I made for Inktober that I could use. Looking at the selection I decided to use Rin’s drawing. For some reason it was a slow start but eventually got into the rhythm. I decided to look up Rin’s scooter and tent in the anime and noticed very apparent differences. this time I decided to correct them once and for all. There are still a few details that I haven’t done yet for the background, but the overall feel is there. This is what I will be working with.
Here is the original line art;

Although there are still a few days till the end of Autumn, it is also Christmas time that will be coming up. With that in mind, this will be the last painting of the season so that I can start working on both Christmas and winter paintings.
Although I like most of Ranma 1/2’s characters, Shampoo is definitely fight for the top spot (it’s always fluctuating among girl Ranma, Shampoo and Ryoga).
This time I decided to add some backlight with Photoshop. I don’t know which version I prefer more.

Since we have entered December I will start working on some winter paintings. So I want to speed up the final Autumn painting this year. Here is the background.

I was supposed to have uploaded this yesterday but somehow I forgot to do it.
Today’s painting is of Accelerator and Last Order. This time I wanted to play with more red and blue hues as well as lighting. Perhaps adding some light glare would do well, but I really want to see what I can do with just my brush which is why my art looks the way it does. Last minute I decided to add in a certain other pair.
Hasta la proxima,

Here is a rough draft for a future painting. Perhaps it will end this year’s autumn art.
