Egghead Island

Background for a current painting. I almost have the feel I want, but I can’t really finish the background until I add in the subjects and make everything cohesive.

Bartholomew Kuma

Seeing Kuma override his protocols and just pummel Saint Saturn was such a satisfying moment. All his families hardships at the hands of the five elders/world government was in that one punch.

Athena Asamiya Idol RE:do V3

Another year, another attempt at painting Athena Asamiya. This is the third rendition. I’m getting there. Looking at it know, there are a few details that I may come back to, but it’s a huge improvement from the last version.

A certain amusement park

The latest piece that I’m currently working on. It’s the castle at a certain amusement park. I was wondering how I would deal with so many details. But once I got into the groove it wasn’t too bad. It’s obviously not one to one to the reference photo, but I feel I capture the essence. Detailed, but not so much that it will overtake the actual subject.

Tomoyo Harada ski

It’s finally up. I made some last minute additions to it today. I’m so glad I bought the blu-ray copy of the movie. The quality is amazing. There are so many details that I couldn’t see before on Tomoyo’s outfit. It’s actually a lot more intricate than I thought. I also didn’t notice the Boya print on the gloves. And with the better quality I could zoom into her sunglasses to better define the reflections.

If you haven’t seen “私をスキーに連れてって ” or “Take me out to the snowland” I recommend it. It’s a nice time capsule of the time. Seems like this movie influence many to take up skiing and even now they reference it in advertisement’s. I mainly wanted to see it due to Tomoyo Harada but there are other awesome things such as a nice showcase of Toyota cars racing through the snow and their drivers. I’m pretty sure they must have been an inspiration for the sil-eighty drivers from Initial D. Very fun movie overall even with my limited Japanese.

Oh yeah, this was also a Valentine’s day movie thus the upload date.

Airi Suzuki Chinese New Year 2024

Airi made a cute post on her Instagram promoting CDTV’s New Year Live 2024. I wanted to paint something for Chinese New Year and this was the perfect subject. Her outfit was super cute.

Cirno Snowy Steps

Finally I have decided to upload my painting of Cirno on the steps background that I had previously uploaded. I’m really glad that I didn’t upload it right away. There were a couple of things I decided to change not only with Cirno but with the background as well. If you compare the background from this painting to that of the old upload, you’ll see that I have added a blue hue to the snow shadows and also worked on some rough areas over all. As for Cirno, the main area that had me concerned were her ice wings. I had some blue hues that didn’t look right. Now it looks much better.

Strangely enough, I think this might be my first time doing a piece on Cirno despite liking her design.

Night Train Station Background

Here is another background. I have the main painting completely done but I want to do some touch ups before I upload it. This background is rough and out of focus on purpose.

Checkered design Background

Last week I saw a video about the new updates to Krita. And I wanted to check it out. It’s strange how there is a bit of a learning curve when using different programs. It actually feels much better than the last time I used it a couple of years ago. Although at that time I was barely getting into digital painting. Having said that, it still feels a bit clunky. I wonder if I modify some settings it can be made to react the way I want. There are so many settings that I can edit which I like. I’m really glad that programs like these exist for free. These projects are really worth supporting.

As for this background, it is not my design. It is from a quilt it seems like from a reference photo that I’m using to test out Krita. This background helps me test out the tools and the subject will help me test out the brushes.

Hasta la proxima,

Snow Mountain Background

This will be the background for a painting that I plan to upload in February. It’s based on a scene from a movie I really like. Playing around with the subtle color changes in the snow and the details and lack of them on the trees was somewhat challenging. I wanted a rough idea to be represented, but at times it just looked like a bunch of scribbles.

Hasta la proxima,
