Clouded Grassland Background

It’s strange going back to Corel Painter. One of the things that Corel Painter just can’t do as well as Krita is the blender. But being able to work with only one brush is amazing.

This background will be for a future piece. I wonder if any of you know what scene I’m depicting. I’m currently re-reading the series so I can have a better experience with the newer chapters.

I’m still not too conviced with the clouds so I might retouch them at a later date. Currently I’m working on the subjects, there are a couple of them so it’s taking a while for the rough drafts.

Hasta la proxima,

Spring Roses

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.

Autumn Lake

There is an illustrator by the name of fjsmu (ふじしむ) that uses some beautiful colors for his paintings. I wanted to give it a try. I believe it uses the concept of color theory. It really makes it pop. I will try to keep this in mind for future paintings.

Lips test

I’ve seen other artists painting eyes and lips. It not only looks really aesthetically pleasing but it also seems like a nice way to practice. I’ll probably be doing more. It was rather relaxing and felt like learned a bit.

Nico Robin’s Sacrifice

Somehow last time I uploaded an unfinished version of the background. This was actually the version I was supposed to have uploaded it.

I’ve been re-reading One Piece. And I’m enjoying it more as an adult than when I was a kid. What’s amazing is that as the series goes on, it just gets better and better. This also goes with the emotional parts of the story. I forgot just how tough Robin’s life was growing up. Oda did a great job of making us understand why Robin would do her best to distance herself from the Straw hats during this arc. Truly a great character and addition to the crew.

Background Beach V2

Here is the background for another one of my RE:do paintings. Recently I started implementing a new technique into my paintings. I’m surprised it took me this long to do so though. I’ll speak more about that later. Perhaps adding more details to the sand would’ve added something more to the painting, but with the subject as the focal point that may not be necessary.

Airi Rescue Beam Saver COLOR

Here is the Colored version of my Airi Rescue illustration. I’m uploading two versions. The second version has some static added to it to replicate the quality of a magazine print. One things I like in old anime are the glow effects they do with beams, so I wanted to incorporate that in this illustration. Adding some outer glow to the beam and adding some noise to the glow gave it a cool effect.

I want to convert this drawing to an anime frame at some point. You know, like those mid point frames when the anime had to go to commercials.

Hasta la proxima,

Airi Rescue Soldier Manga

I actually had a version of this drawing ready to go, but I’m glad I never uploaded it. Since I had a chance to rest on it and reflect on what I could do with it, I ended up adding some new ideas to it which I think look better. Before it was a bit flat but now it now looks like a title page at the beginning of a chapter. The beam saber looked a bit bland too, so I added some outer glow to it and also some grain so that it blended roughly with the background. Clip Studio has some cool stuff to draw manga, but it also lacks in others which is why I like combining it with Photoshop. The only bad thing about that is that the screen tone layers get screwed up and I can’t edit them again. There are ways to just make a quick new layer to edit if necessary, but that’s a real pain if I have to do multiple.

I wanted to download a stars brush to do them quickly but I ended up just painting them by hand. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I like that rough look to them that the real g pen from Clip Studio gives it. The font it self I ripped from the music video.

Here’s the music video by the way. It’s a really fun one, I love it:
