Momoko Tsugunaga Krita

In order to continue to test out Krita I decided to do a study of Momochi using one of her photos from her digital photobook vol. 77. I was at first using a really scuffed reference photo until I remembered to search for a high quality version.

The oil brush is still not quite there yet but the blender tool is the best I’ve tried so far. I just wish I had the ability of using the sargent brush in Krita. I really miss it.

Sunset Beach Background Krita

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.

Marin and Gojo at the Beach

With everything going on I forgot that I had another painting I was hoping to upload during the summer but Now is better than next year.

I really love this pairing.

Starting Wednesday (if all goes well) I will start uploading daily due to Inktober.

Momochi Glancing to the Right

I was hoping to upload it on the 23rd but sadly things didn’t work out. This will mark the last Summer painting of 2025. Now I’m planning to do some Autumn paintings and also do Inktober again this year.

Kodachi Kuno Swimsuit V3

The end of summer is finally here. Fall is just around the corner! I wanted to do more summer based art but I was bogged down with other things going on. Maybe next year.

I actually wanted to retry a couple of past paintings but since I ran out of time I will have to end it with Kodachi. This makes the third revision (and probably the last). Although version two wasn’t back I wanted to give it another try. I wonder though if people would even be able to tell the difference? I also edited the background but I kept forgetting that certain details would just get hidden behind Kodachi. With that in mind I decided to also add in the background.

Here is version 2:

Help me reach more people, like and share if you like my work.

Strawhats At The Beach

I decided to work on the Nami painting again. But I felt she was too lonely so aside from reworking her and the background I decided to add the other (official) female members of the Strawhats. For some reason I was having trouble with the colors for Robin and Vivi’s hair.

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.

Nami at the Beach

I think this might be my first Nami drawing and painting. How the heck is that even possible. It only just occurred to me as I’m writing this description. I’m gonna have to remedy that.

After painting Nami I was wondering how I would integrate her to the background. In the beginning I had large splash waves that pretty much covered up the whole background. I contemplated making a matching painting painting with a separate character but decided to focus on coming up with a different way to showcase both the background and Nami. After playing around with the layer effects I ended up using the overlay effect on a separate layer for the splashing and dripping water. This gave my brush strokes a slight transparency depending on how I laid the paint. While I was at it, I also used this layer to add some lighting.

Beach Background

A piece I’m working one and this will be the background. Summer is finally ending, so I should do a couple of pieces before we finally enter autumn.
