"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
It is the end of Spring. This will be the final Spring painting for this year. Since the last time I uploaded the background, I decided that it just didn’t look right. It became super apparent when I added Shiro. This time I decided to go for a flat anime style.

I want someone to run through the field, I just haven’t decided who.

After weeks, I finally get to upload this painting of Frieren and Himmel. I was more worried about getting the right look of the lake and the reflections correctly. But I think I managed to do that. I wonder if I did the right thing making Himmel’s cape capable of covering his head. In the anime I never saw him do it, but all the amount of fabric makes it seem so. Which is why I decided to take some artistic liberties.
I wanted to create a fantastical feel with the setting, color and brush strokes. I’m getting close to what I’m imagining but I haven’t quite fine tuned it. Nothing I can do except to keep painting.
On another note, I am getting tempted to start collecting figures. Not only because they look so cool and beautiful but they would help out a lot as reference material since I could study them from different angles. Perhaps in the future.
Also, since I recently finished reading Dungeon Meshi. It’s time I read the Frieren manga. Can’t believe I forgot to do that.

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.

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.

This is going to be the background for a future piece. But I decided to take a bit of detour and come back to it a little later. I’ll decide then if I want to polish it a bit more (the background) or not. I am still thinking of the composition of the actual subjects though, so I might have to edit this background quite a bit. We’ll see.

Ahh finally, my favorite season has begun. Some days have already started to have lower temperatures but it’s still fluctuating quite a bit. Any way, things have been quite busy lately so I just made a quick painting to commomerate fall. Although I wish to make more. Oh wait Inktober starts tomorrow. I guess my time will be taken over by that for a month. The painting is a study of this photo of Sayu: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFE1mDOlsl4/
Hope you guys like it.
