I had to do a composite of two locations for this background. I’m always glad that Google street view exists.

Convenience Store at Night Background
Hot Springs Background
For today’s upload it is the background for a painting that is currently in progress.
Tomorrow is October which means that Inktober will also be in effect. Hopefully I can draw on all days again this year. Hopefully I will be able to paint on top of that as well.

Summer Park Background
Due to certain circumstances I’m falling a bit behind have art ready to be uploaded. But hopefully things get better soon. This painting I decided to work on today after I was done with other obligations.
This background is actually a RE:do of an old painted I made years ago. I think it looks much better now.

Tennis court Background
Today’s upload is a tennis background. I will edit it as needed once I add in the focal points.

Beach Background
Finally got around to RE:do a painting that I was supposed to have worked on this summer. I’m almost done with the update, but I have to add to it finally.

Dojo Background
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.

Marin’s Room Background RE:do
This is another attempt at a past painting. For now here is the background.

Usagi’s room background
For some reason this week I wasn’t able to make any new art. Luckily I have a couple of paintings that I have ready but I like having a good long buffer so that I can keep uploading weekly. I just don’t like eating into it in case something comes up and I won’t have time to work on new paintings/drawings. Hopefully by next week I will have cooled down.
For today’s upload it is a RE:do background of Usagi’s room.

Misty Flower Lake Background
For today’s background painting I am continuing the Spring theme (which is getting closer to it’s end). I was worried about whether I could bring to life what I had in mind. I had to take in steps among a couple of days to figure out how to make it work. Not rushing things and taking time off away from the painting has really helped me. Now I understand why other artists do it.
The actual painting is actually now finished, but like other paintings I will upload it at another date. This will help me as well to look at it at a later date with fresh eyes.

Cherry Blossom Patio Background
This is actually for a RE:do painting. It hasn’t been a whole year yet, but I feel that I have gotten better to the point of giving another chance to paint what I had in mind. Because of certain limitations and because the season wasn’t appropriate I left it half finished. But I will talk more on that when the time comes.

Cloudy Lake
Been wanting to paint this for quite a bit now. This week has been quite rainy and tomorrow it will apparently be raining all day so it also fits the occasion. The background itself wont be finished till I add the main subject though.

Shibuya Day Background
This will be the background for one of my recent favorite characters. Although that series has a lot of characters that I like. Because of the amount of details this felt a bit daunting when I first started working on it. But not much one can do except just do it. Having said that, after I finished working on it I decided to buy some transparent rulers to make long straight lines easier and more uniform. I don’t know why I was so hardheaded and didn’t do so earlier.
The background it self made me appreciate Google Maps so much more. I forgot that I could just use it to get background locations from different vantage points and modify my location to get a more aesthetic shot on the fly. I’m so glad I’m living now.
