"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
The latest piece that I’m currently working on. It’s the castle at a certain amusement park. I was wondering how I would deal with so many details. But once I got into the groove it wasn’t too bad. It’s obviously not one to one to the reference photo, but I feel I capture the essence. Detailed, but not so much that it will overtake the actual subject.

Here is another background. I have the main painting completely done but I want to do some touch ups before I upload it. This background is rough and out of focus on purpose.

Last week I saw a video about the new updates to Krita. And I wanted to check it out. It’s strange how there is a bit of a learning curve when using different programs. It actually feels much better than the last time I used it a couple of years ago. Although at that time I was barely getting into digital painting. Having said that, it still feels a bit clunky. I wonder if I modify some settings it can be made to react the way I want. There are so many settings that I can edit which I like. I’m really glad that programs like these exist for free. These projects are really worth supporting.
As for this background, it is not my design. It is from a quilt it seems like from a reference photo that I’m using to test out Krita. This background helps me test out the tools and the subject will help me test out the brushes.

This will be the background for a painting that I plan to upload in February. It’s based on a scene from a movie I really like. Playing around with the subtle color changes in the snow and the details and lack of them on the trees was somewhat challenging. I wanted a rough idea to be represented, but at times it just looked like a bunch of scribbles.

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.

I was a bit worried about this one because the main subject had to be modified first before I started work on the background. I’m finally getting used to working with water and waves. I was using a reference photo that had a different type of mountain that what you normally see in Japan so I had to modify that once I had the main idea.
As a side note, I finally have everything needed to record sounds. Now it’s just a matter of coming up with a format. I do wonder if people would be interested in just watching a real time version as well. I might just upload that on my secondary channel in conjunction whenever I figure everything out.

This is the background for a RE:do painting from back when I was first learning to paint digitally and I was just beginning to understand how to use digital art programs.

Fall is just about to end, so I decided to make one last painting to commemorate it. It’s a shame I didn’t get to enjoy it much this year. Maybe next time…
Those who know, will know who the character I chose for this painting.

Here is the background for a painting that has been in waiting for about a month now. Although that wait time did do so some good in that I could do some final edits after coming back to it. I was wondering what the background for the main subjects of this painting. But looking through the final movie I liked the aesthetics of the rooms with cots.

This is will be the background for a drawing I did quite a while ago.

This will be a background for a fun painting that I did on a whim.

This is the background for a piece I have ready for Halloween. I want to make more since I am always late in working on seasonal themes.
