"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
A winter background for a painting that I pretty much have finished. But I might edit certain details when I come back to it. For the last couple of days where I live has been snowing and going below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It really feels like winters this year.

For some reason I had the urge to draw Komi. It’s been a while since I last catched up with Komi’s manga. Last I remembered they went to New York I think? I think it’s time I go back to reading it.
I have a number of paintings waiting to be uploaded but I need to space them out between background and the finished painting. Which helps me rest my eyes on them so that I can give them a look over and edit as needed. Plus I really should do some more drawings and line art.
Because they are simpler to do I can create some time buffers so that I can practice and work on longer projects. My brother was telling me that I should do some traditional art, and I do want to. But it takes longer so I have been neglecting it lately. It’s sad just seeing my Nicker Poster colors cake up.
We’ll see.

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.

I was fighting this painting till the end. I made so may edits at different times and now I’m not even sure how I feel about it. Did I push it too far? Not far enough? Should I simplify more? perhaps at a later date I will know the answer. But for now I will leave it as is.
I really like Memcho, I hope I did her justice. Either way I want to paint her more in the future.
For those who follow me here you get to see the old version I had ready to go a couple of weeks ago before I began editing it this week:

We’ve somehow made it to the end of this year. It sucked. Here’s hoping this new year brings better things. On the plus side, I made progress in my artist journey so it wasn’t all doom and gloom. This will be my final drawing for 2023. If I feel like it, hopefully tomorrow’s drawing will be more positive.

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.
Here is the original painting:

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 guess at this point I should just expect that any collaboration is possible. I mean Night Tempo has made collaborations with Sayumi Michishige and Airi Suzuki. It’s crazy how a lot of the things I like are coming together from time to time. We truly are living in the future now.
I wonder what special attacks Yor will have. Wait are these collaboration events only temporary or are they going to be left in the game forever?
In this fight I’m team Yor by the way. Who do you guys think would win?
Hasta la proxima,

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.
