"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
This is my second attempt at painting this painting of Misaki Shokuhou. Aside from giving it another try at painting her, I also made a few edits to her outfit using the anime as reference for her outfit. Overall, it looks much better now.
Here’s the old version (drawn originally in 2019 and painted in 2020):
Took me a while to learn, but for my style it’s best not to use the pen line art unless I’m using flat colors.

Finally got around to RE:do a painting that I was supposed to have worked on this summer. I’m almost done with the update, but I have to add to it finally.

Today’s upload is of sports stands. It has a lot of details so it took a while. Despite that, it is also simplistic with flat colors. Looking at the past attempt is crazy.
I’m falling a bit behind with new artwork, hopefully I have caught up with other obligations so I will finally have time to put more effort into art.

I was hoping to upload this piece a bit later but here it is.
Here is the first version:
There was potential in the idea but the first version was not quite there yet. I first re worked the background by also adding some more lighting details as well as changing the floor layout. As for Ryo and Mr. Karate I changed their postures a bit as well as the overall color with new lighting. Ryo’s face was a bit wonky so of course that had to be fixed.

I felt that my original painting could look so much better, but at the time I didn’t have the skills yet.
Here’s the original:
This time I went over the background first then started touching up Marin. I changed certain proportions and now with some new screenshots I took I also changed the outfit to fit the one from episode 7.
I’d say it looks much better now.

For today’s update, it is a RE:do of a dojo background. Last time it was a bit flat so I wanted to play with the lighting and shadows as well as detailing certain areas more.

This is another attempt at a past painting. For now here is the background.

I decided to make another attempt at this Usagi painting that I did back in 2021.
Looking back at it again, it looks completely different. I actually had this painting “finished” a couple of weeks ago. But after coming back to it I noticed various areas that I could continue to work on. It’s always great to come back to it with fresh eyes.

Looking at past works, I really wanted to give “Bulma’s Delivery Service” another try. It was so close and yet was still in a very rough state. Some areas were tilted and the background painting was also in need of another attempt with my current skills. I loved working on this painting again. The original artist for the Kiki’s poster is amazing.

For some reason this week I wasn’t able to make any new art. Luckily I have a couple of paintings that I have ready but I like having a good long buffer so that I can keep uploading weekly. I just don’t like eating into it in case something comes up and I won’t have time to work on new paintings/drawings. Hopefully by next week I will have cooled down.
For today’s upload it is a RE:do background of Usagi’s room.

Here is an updated version of Mai and Chun Li. I originally wanted them to be surrounded by Sakura trees. My original idea was a bit different but because of the pose I had to change it to this patio one. But because it felt overwhelming when I first painted it, I left the flowers out. Surprisingly it wasn’t that hard. On top of that, I softened a few areas on both Mai and Chun Li while also adjusting the tone of the whole painting. Personally I think it looks much better now.
Hasta la proxima,

This is actually for a RE:do painting. It hasn’t been a whole year yet, but I feel that I have gotten better to the point of giving another chance to paint what I had in mind. Because of certain limitations and because the season wasn’t appropriate I left it half finished. But I will talk more on that when the time comes.
Hasta la proxima,
