"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I thought I was done last month but I’m glad I waited to upload because I ended up working on it and making a good number of changes throughout this last week.
It’s been a while since I last played the game but it definitely left a great impression. The gravity dynamic was really fun to play with.

When I painted the flower background I decided that I wanted to have someone frolicking through the fields. I didn’t really have anyone in mind. Then while playing Battle Cats I came to the realization that I have been playing the game for about a decade now. That’s crazy. I also can’t believe I haven’t really done much art of it either. I felt Red Riding Mina would be a good option since she fits the scenery and she is always frolicking. I could have just had her in the painting but decided to also add in her animal companions as well. I also thought it would be fun to add in a cat in the foreground.
One of the problems though when I was planning where to add in Mina I noticed that I made the scene to cropped so I decided to add in more to the surroundings… if you look at the background I uploaded you will know what I mean. Hopefully I get to make more Battle Cats artwork in the future.

I decided to make another attempt at this Usagi painting that I did back in 2021.
Looking back at it again, it looks completely different. I actually had this painting “finished” a couple of weeks ago. But after coming back to it I noticed various areas that I could continue to work on. It’s always great to come back to it with fresh eyes.

I learned about the using the filter abilities that Photoshop offers, one of the options is grain, which really gives off old analog TV vibes. I’ve done something like this before when I painted my Saki Shimizu drawing.

For this painting wanted to do something more flat, but in the end I felt it would look better with some shading. I feel that if I did want to use super flat colors, I need to make a simpler design for the line art. I think I will make that my goal for tomorrows piece.

I’m a little fatigued and wanted to do just a quick and fast drawing today. Decided to go with a drawing of Kiki and Jiji based on this reference photo: https://bbs.ruliweb.com/hobby/board/300095/read/26133755
Don’t know where to find her account, but it seems like the cosplayer goes by the name Rain.

This is a painting for the drawing I did for inktober of this year (day 30). I wanted to do a parody of Kiki’s Delivery Service with Bulma as Kiki. Most of it uses the same style and colors but I incorporated elements from Dragon ball. Such changes are substituting Jiji for Tama, changing the font to Capsule Corp in the window reflection, using a mitsubishi car transporting Muten Roshi and Goku and Lunch as the woman walking in the street. Colors aren’t quite the same but look similar enough. I quite like how it turned out.
What do you guys think?
