"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
This is the background to commemorate a certain collaboration. I actually didn’t think this was a possibility. I’m really glad that more and more collaborations are happening. For now here is the background. I might modify it a bit more when I actually finish it, but we’ll see.

I felt that the previous version I had looked off but I didn’t know why. At some point I got a comment that pointed out the arm and sure enough that’s what it was. My brother said that I should go back to basics, maybe that’s what he meant.

I was a bit worried about this one because the main subject had to be modified first before I started work on the background. I’m finally getting used to working with water and waves. I was using a reference photo that had a different type of mountain that what you normally see in Japan so I had to modify that once I had the main idea.
As a side note, I finally have everything needed to record sounds. Now it’s just a matter of coming up with a format. I do wonder if people would be interested in just watching a real time version as well. I might just upload that on my secondary channel in conjunction whenever I figure everything out.

It has been months that this painting has been waiting to be posted. Although that was a good idea because a couple of weeks ago I made some edits that I feel made it even better. I don’t know why, but I always have problems with Rei’s hair. Something about working with blue hair, or maybe blue in general is giving me problems. I like the contrast of the white and black plug suits.

This is the background for a RE:do painting from back when I was first learning to paint digitally and I was just beginning to understand how to use digital art programs.

We are essentially at the end of autumn. It went way too fast…
In any case, in order to commemorate it I decided to paint K’. One of my favorite characters from The King of Fighters. The idea came to men when I saw the animation of him panting and in pain. Once I have a good idea of how I will edit my videos I’ll upload the process.

Fall is just about to end, so I decided to make one last painting to commemorate it. It’s a shame I didn’t get to enjoy it much this year. Maybe next time…
Those who know, will know who the character I chose for this painting.

I felt that the Iori painting I made back in August 2022 had potential, but was lacking. With one more year of experience I decided to give it another go. Overall I think it looks much better now. I’ve actually started to record my prcesses, but I need to find a way to edit it in a way that isn’t boring to watch. Just a speed paint no longer works if I actually want people to watch my videos. I currently have four paintings recorded. This is the only one that is a RE:do though (for now).
The bonus painting is of me getting flung, that’s my current mood…

Here is the background for a painting that has been in waiting for about a month now. Although that wait time did do so some good in that I could do some final edits after coming back to it. I was wondering what the background for the main subjects of this painting. But looking through the final movie I liked the aesthetics of the rooms with cots.

It’s Reina Tanaka’s birthday! I’ve been a fan of hers since 2009. Here’s to hoping she has a great year. To commemorate her birthday I decided to go back to the past when she sang Memory Seishun no Hikari. I really love her rendition, and the accompanying music videos are great.

After being left in my upload folder for a couple of weeks, it is finally time to upload this painting. Although I’m glad it took this long because as I was getting ready to upload I noticed that the cup was a bit wonky in the opening. After fixing that I felt it was a good enough time to add some steam to the cup. After a long while, this time I decided to paint it in an 80s anime style.
Here is the process,
Hasta la proxima,
