"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Now with all the line art completed I can finally compile them in place. In order to not have the line art clash I added a white backing to help overlay upon their respective layer. With that ready, next comes painting the background and eventually the characters.

I decided to turn the rough draft of Momochi into line art.
Hasta la proxima,

Rough draft of Momochi. I have been tweaking my brush as I have been painting. It still isn’t quite there yet, but it is getting better. One thing I do prefer in Krita is the blender. It softens and merges the colors the best way out of all the art programs I’ve tried.

I guess I had lost the brush that I remembered trying out weeks ago. This one isn’t lagging like the other smeary brush. I ended up editing the brush a bit and removed the texture it was using. I’ll be modifying it as I use it throughout the year. Next test is when I paint the main subject.

This will be the background for Airi’s painting. I switched from Fire Alpaca to Krita.

Line art of Bianca from Loki IRL. Next time I will join them all together.

Another test using Krita, this time with color again. There’s this blending brush that I downloaded that works really well. Just a shame I can’t do it all with just one brush. But I guess if I just add the brushes I use to my favorites it shouldn’t take that much longer than with Corel Painter. The current smeary brushes don’t quite act like I want though, plus it stutters when I paint in the usual large canvas of 9,000px.
Some brushes act like I would expect and others either don’t or lag at the size I need it. Luckily I can make my own brushes so it will take some time to adjust to my style.

Here is Loki’s line art. Decided to go with a “hatching” look to differentiate him from the other characters. I wonder how it will look when I eventually paint it.

Here is another test with Krita, this time in black and white. I chose Airi as the subject. I found more brushes that emulate what I prefer so I hope it works out better once i add in color.

Have been currently busy with a number of things and having to learn some new ones. But hopefully I will be back up and running soon.
In the meantime here is the line art of the Skum Cola Lady.
