"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Wanted to do a piece that represents the Fall season. As my subjects I chose Goku and Bulma. Bulma is sporting her jacket from the first chapters of the series and I decided to have Goku use the same sweater that Suno (I just figured out that her name is pretty much just snow) wore in the Muscle Tower saga.

Arrived late from work today, so a quick drawing.

Didn’t have time to work on hatching today, a shame. Will definitely come back to it and work more on it at a later date. In any case I really liked this character, haven’t read the light novel so I haven’t learned more of her since the beginning of the story when I watched the anime. I really liked her character design and fighting style. A shame she is a sadistic killer…
Hasta la proxima,

Here’s a little witch drawing following the Pixiv themes. Wanted to work with some new hatching techniques I learned recently but was short on time.

This time I decided to use Pixiv’s prompt of sweater. I’ve really been getting into Momoko Tsugunaga so I used her as the model.
It’s almost 12, just barely made it.

Been a while but I need to keep posting new artwork again. For now in order to get me into gear, I will once again take part in inktober. This is me posing like Kojiro Hyuga from Captain Tsubasa.
No. 1!
Awesome! It seems I can just post pictures from Pixiv.

Sorry I disappeared. Been working nonstop these past few months, and school is just around the corner… ( ；´Д｀)
I have quite a few unpublished paintings and drawing, will hopefully upload soon.
Anyway here’s a piece of the gone out of hand meme of “They can’t stop us all! Let’s storm area 51!” Which will be done by doing the Naruto run in order to evade bullets. It’s quite funny how things turned out, and now it seems like it could lead to a yearly music festival.
In Mexico there was a similar meme where a dad was inviting everyone (meaning his family) to his daughters quinceañera (15th birthday party) and people took “everyone” literally. This led to people not only coming from around the country but even outside of it travelled in order to join the party. It got so big that bands, artists, and even the government got involved in order to give her gifts and make this huge party possible. It’s quite amazing how far we humans can go. Σ(゜ロ゜;)
Here is the final piece:
Color style inspired by TES (amazing artist that also loves Watamote):

It’s been snowing and raining where I live this week. I really love the rain, which is why I decided to make a piece with that as the theme. It’s been a while since I last drew Obscurus Nube so wanted to draw him again. This time I wanted to try a simple AnimeXCartoon style like Sh1tty ‘s. I think if I push it a bit more to the anime style it will look more like the 80s anime style which was more round and soft. By making the darker shades with hatching I can just use one color base and it will still look good. I now know I can emulate real life. There are somethings I still have to learn and master but I think doing stylized artwork will make my art standout more and will be better over all.
Drawn, inked with my G-pen, colored with my COPICs and then made the background with Photoshop.
This is Obscurus from my story “Between Light and Darkness”:

I’ve been really into drawing with my g-pen but I have been trying to develop coloring styles as well. And I want to see how I can color my artwork when I use black ink. Does a detailed painting fit it, or do I have to use a simpler color scheme? This piece was drawn and painted a while ago so sorry about now uploading it sooner. Have been quite busy lately and decided to focus my time to drawing and painting.
One of the things I like about Krita is the ability to apply screentone like a paint (meaning I can paint it on with my pen). This is a great tool. So I decided to try out different shading process, without and with screentones.
Here are the different versions:
Here is the line art and inked original drawing:
Reference, after using the Google image search ability it seems the model is Mami Yamase:

Captain Tsubasa 2018 is over… Hopefully they will continue animating the rest of the story, it would be a shame if they stopped here. The fight between Hyuga and Tsubasa was really entertaining and really pumped me up as I watched it in the gym. When they revealed Hyuga’s Tiger shot I got goosebumps. They did a really good job to show the power and strength behind Hyuga’s shot. No question about it, Hyuga is definitely my favorite character of Captain Tsubasa.
I really like the aesthetic of giving the idea of power and movement by using hatching and rough lines, it really blends well together with color.

Sorry I’ve been gone for a while, but I have a couple of artworks drawn and ready to show. Lately I have been cleaning my files on my computer and categorizing my references so that I can find them easily and efficiently but there were thousands of folders I had to go through. I still have over two thousand I still have to categorize but I’m getting there.
The first artwork I will showcase after this absence is Shampoo from Ranma 1/2. I really like her as a character and love her character design. This is a bit silly, but you know back when I saw this in Mexico when I was a gradeschooler we called anime Chinese cartoons. We were quite ignorant back then … but to be fair, it also didn’t help that a lot of 80s anime and some in the 90s had a Chinese aesthetic (plus we couldn’t differentiate between the writing in the credits which was left in it’s original kanji+hiragana-katakana format). So when I eventually learned that anime was Japanese here in the States I was confused about the fact that a lot of Chinese elements were present in anime. Eventually I learned that Japan went through a craze where they were greatly influenced by Hong Kong cinema and incorporated a lot of Chinese elements to their stories. This fact made me extremely happy since I was a always a big fan of Hong Kong martial arts films. So when I now see Ranma 1/2 and other Anime I can see some of the influences from the movies I have seen growing up. It’s a great combination really, sad that this era has ended…
By the way tirantes means Suspenders in Spanish.
Here is the final piece:
References used I really liked the flat colors of some of the some of the references I had so I decided to give it a try):
Traditional process, I used bristol paper but it seriously doesn’t take copic markers well. It becomes rather blotchy so I decided to color it digitally in the end.
Here is the digital process. I’m currently using krita, it’s so light and versatile. So far it hasn’t made my Xp Pen quit which has allowed me to continue working at my own work flow. The times it has quit, the pressure sensitivity has turned off but the pen still works. And to make it work again I just have to relaunch Krita and it all returns to normal (this is much better than having to restart my whole computer).
Hope you guys are doing well.
