"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I’m currently working on a Christmas painting but time has been reduced a bit lately. So although I wanted to leave this painting for later I decided to finish it today. There were a few tweaks that I had to do last minute today to fit in more with Rin Shima’s gear. I had added some falling snowflakes but decided to omit it and only left some lit particles on the fire.
Hasta la proxima,

I want to paint some winter and seasonal art, but due to being a bit busy I was a bit flustered as to starting something new. Specially since I wanted to upload a background or rough draft today. That’s when I remembered that I had a couple of drawing that I made for Inktober that I could use. Looking at the selection I decided to use Rin’s drawing. For some reason it was a slow start but eventually got into the rhythm. I decided to look up Rin’s scooter and tent in the anime and noticed very apparent differences. this time I decided to correct them once and for all. There are still a few details that I haven’t done yet for the background, but the overall feel is there. This is what I will be working with.
Here is the original line art;

I wanted to try another pixel art piece, this time with Momoko. I used a photo of Momochi camping from her “Momochi Zukan” photobook as reference. I started with a 200×200 canvas, but it was a little too big for the effect I wanted. So decided to make it into a 100×100 instead.

This is the colored version of the ink drawing I made of Rin Shima which can be seen here.
I decided to do something a bit different in that I wanted to see if I could just modify some reference pictures. I wanted to convey the feeling of accomplishing the goal of reaching a destination and embarking to the next one. As I was painting the raindrops, I decided to add a drop on Shima’s finger which I felt really fit. Because I decided to follow the reference picture a bit too closely, but I guess it was a happy mistake.

I had been reading the manga for a while now, but was surprised to learn just how big Yuru Camp is in Japan. That makes me rather happy. I actually went camping last summer. I couldn’t help but remember Yuru Camp. For my first artwork of this series, I picked Rin Shima. I quite like how dependable and independent she is.
