"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I’ve been wanting to get back to this painting. Surprisingly only a few things were retouched. I remember being hesitant on adding a shadow to Gojo’s face. I used to be so scared of redoing parts that I messed up. It’s amazing how much growth has happened since then.
On another note, I really loved this scene. I’ve been keeping up with the manga, but I seriously need to go back to rewatching the anime.

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.

Here is the completed painting of Goku and Suno. I wanted to keep it simple but also add some more details. So I tried balancing both ideas as much as possible.
Here is the original painting:

Mountain Snow Man Background
This is a RE:do of an old painting that had some really good potential but was quite rough. I changed the aspect ratio and added more details that I thought would work well. The mountains were quite different than the anime in the old version. I wonder why I changed them? So in this version I made them closer to how they are supposed to look like.

After being left waiting for a couple of weeks now, here is another RE:do with a painting I tried to do way back in 2018. At this time I was still learning to do digital. Even then I had already decided that Corel Painter was my preferred art program. As opposed to last time, I added a background. But even then it felt like it was still a bit lonely so I added 2B’s pod. I was a bit worried that it would be too intricate. Surprisingly it went by much smoother . I’m so glad I decided to add it.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! With these two uploaded it’s finally time for me to try and rest for a bit. (And of course it would fight me till the end, had to re edit a couple of times before it allowed me to render it.)

Vegas kept crashing on me so I decided to change to Adobe Premiere. Now I have to learn how it all works but at the very least I can do most of the basic functions. Although I had to learn what I needed looking online. Things are not as intuitive as Vegas but oh well, I’ll learn. This is just a really quick speed paint. I’ll work on the new format for future paintings. I’ll upload Fubuki and Tatsumaki’s speed paint as soon as it’s done rendering.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Somehow I managed to finish the second Christmas painting. This is another RE:do. This time it’s from a really rough piece from back in 2018 when I was barely getting into digital painting. Thus it was quite rough. Five years of practice really shows.
Here is the original painting;
Mmmm…. I kinda want to rest for at least two days, but I also want to make and upload the making of videos. We’ll see if that happens.

Back in 2020 I made a piece of Marisa in a Christmas outfit, but it was really rough and I was still using my developing painting style along with my line art which don’t work well together at all. For that reason I believe it would be a good candidate to RE:do with my current skills. Overall I love the new version a whole lot more. I did make some changes to her expression, but I feel that it all still gives the same cool yet cozy Christmas feeling.
Here is the old version:
I recorded the process, should I just make a speed paint video of it? I’ve been quite busy and will probably continue to be so for a while. This means that I probably wont be able to start making the new format for a while. Since Christmas is fast approaching and it would be weird to upload the video a year later why not just upload something now?
If time permits, I will try to make another painting for Christmas. 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 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…

Last year I painted Yor, but I didn’t like the way it came out. Which is why I wanted to try it out again. It’s amazing how much my skill have increased in one year. Hopefully I keep getting even better.
You can se my first try here:
