Melancholic Momoko Tsugunaga

Today is Momochi’s birthday. To celebrate that, here is a painting of her. I first did a drawing of it back for Inktober 2023 day 17.

You can see it here:

Inktober 2023 Day 17 Melancholic

I debated whether to keep the line art or not. And it clearly became clear that with this style of painting, it wouldn’t work. Obviously remnants of the line art are still present but I eliminated them where necessary. I wanted to play with values and also soft colors. Despite being finished a while ago, I still like the way it turned out. It will be a good style to play around with.

School Evening Window Background

I can’t believe that this painting has been waiting for weeks now. Seems it’s been ready to go since January 4th. I tried making the straight line by hand but of course they were really off. So I used the rectangle tool to guide me for the hard lines and softened areas as needed. Looking at it now, I would probably play with the colors a bit. But I might come back to it at a later date. Overall though I like it.

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.

Hasta la proxima,

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.

Hasta la proxima,

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.
