"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
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 really like Yamucha and his Soukidan was so freakin cool when he first revealed it.

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 summer is unsurprisingly hot… As soon as I step outside and move any movement I begin to melt down. I really don’t like the summer. But luckily Fall is next.

I still need to refine it, but for today’s upload it is line art of Nefalia and Twain Foney. The lovely Tennis powerhouse couple.

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

It’s getting really hot, it’s that time of the year…
It feels like an oven in my room. I decided to pull the trigger on an A/C. Hopefully that will ease this summer’s heat.

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.

I’m really enjoying the complicated emotions being showcased by Gojo. I wonder if he will become more assertive.

After weeks, I finally get to upload this painting of Frieren and Himmel. I was more worried about getting the right look of the lake and the reflections correctly. But I think I managed to do that. I wonder if I did the right thing making Himmel’s cape capable of covering his head. In the anime I never saw him do it, but all the amount of fabric makes it seem so. Which is why I decided to take some artistic liberties.
I wanted to create a fantastical feel with the setting, color and brush strokes. I’m getting close to what I’m imagining but I haven’t quite fine tuned it. Nothing I can do except to keep painting.
On another note, I am getting tempted to start collecting figures. Not only because they look so cool and beautiful but they would help out a lot as reference material since I could study them from different angles. Perhaps in the future.
Also, since I recently finished reading Dungeon Meshi. It’s time I read the Frieren manga. Can’t believe I forgot to do that.

About one or two weeks ago I finally got the chance to read Dungeon Meshi, after my brothers both high recommended it.
I loved it. I can’t believe I already finished it. I really loved the world and the characters. (I’m also currently watching the anime, so far they have done the series justice).
This line art was done after I read through the ghosts section. I can’t believe Laios would say something like that. But having read the whole series now… Yeah this guy definitely has said and done many things that I think I can incorporate to this piece in a future update.
Till then.
