Haniel (Marin) and Gojo

I was working on this painting since last year but when I noticed that I wouldn’t make it to Halloween I decided to stop and work on it again before this year’s Halloween… I didn’t make it again due to circumstances in life. But perhaps that was a good things since I fixed some areas that were giving me problems last year and decided to expand the background by adding a forest. With that said I decided to just upload it this year otherwise who knows if other issues stop me from uploading it in the future.

Adding lighting to the trees really made it pop. I really wanted to convey the complicated feelings that Gojo was going through while also tying it together to the Haniel character.

Forest Path

When I first started I was a bit overwhelmed due to all the details. It got to the point that I had to take a week or two after I started. But once I came back to it, it wasn’t too bad.

Snowed Mountain background

I was just about to upload the final painting and completely forgot that I had yet to upload the background. Looking at it now, there are areas that I could work on the details but most of it will be covered anyway. Having said that, playing around with shapes and different planes/layers.

Frieren and Himmel Lake Meeting

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.

Misty Flower Lake Background

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.

Zoro Santoryu RE;do

The first version I painted back in 2021, so two years ago. I felt it was time I gave it another chance. You can see it here:

2021 version

Zoro Santoryu

Here are some pictures of part of the process to start over:

The main idea and composition was there, but I decided to change the background and modify Zoro’s pose a bit lower to the ground. While I was painting this, I was once again re reading the Wano arc. So I decided to use the corresponding outfit. I also changed Shusui to Enma.

In this version of the painting I wanted to play around with the lighting which is why I made two versions, one with light beams on a separate layer and one with my original painting only. I was a bit worried about Zoro’s hair, but I think I made a good balance between how much detail I decided to paint and how much I decided to blend together.

As a side note, I really enjoyed the live action adaptation of One Piece. I really hope they continue making the series. Because of it, I got my dad to get interested in the series and now he’s watching the anime. Now if only my youngest brother would only give it a chance.

Bamboo Forest Background

This is actually the background for a RE:do piece. It has changed quite a bit from my original try. I wonder if anyone will know what I’m remaking?

Guts Frozen Quest Background WIP

Currently working on a painting that I had thought up last year. It’s still a bit rough at the moment, but the main idea has pretty much been painted out using my Surface Pro 5.

So I had bought a used Surface Pro so that I could paint on the go but rarely used it because it couldn’t keep up with the settings I use on my desktop. The canvas size was too large I found out. When I halved the size to around 2500 to 3500 the Surface is actually quite capable. I can’t believe that was all I need to do so that I could use it…

Inktober 2022 30 Meimi Tamura Birthday

Day 30. Today is Meimi Tamura’s birthday! Well it was yesterday if we go by Japan time. To commemorate the occasion I drew Meimi. I have really been into her music lately. I really hope she continues to produce more music. In some of her Instagram posts she has been talking about fairies, thus today’s theme. I was short on time again, but I felt that it wouldn’t be good to upload the drawing as only the line art. So I pushed it rather close to midnight today in order to add line details and inking. There is a lot of detail so I hope that Meimi and the fairy are visible and stand out.

Happy birthday Meimi!

Hasta la proxima,

Internet Today SCP-096 VS Siren Head

My favorite fun news channel Internet Today was recently animated by the channel SCP Explained – Story & Animation. Why were their likeness used? I don’t know but that’s what made it even funnier. I’ve been wanting to make fan art for Eliot and Ricky for a while now. This was a fun one.

SCP VS Siren Head video:

I started with the background to establish the colors. Then I moved on to Siren Head who I wanted to barely start appearing among the trees. Right behind Ricky and Eliot I wanted a manic SCP-096. I have him running and debris and smoke exploding along his path. But that all ended up being covered by Eliot and Ricky. While I was painting I had the idea to have them running just in front of SCP-096, but I want the duo to be the main focus.

I made two versions of this piece, one where they used Eliot’s old hair style and one where he has his current shaved head. The outfits and gear I modeled after the animation video.

Rin Shima Next destination COLOR

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.
