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,

Sprite Lightning background

This year I learned about lightning sprites and found them to be quite pretty and surreal. It also reminds me a lot about Evangelion. Don’t know what I will do with this, perhaps nothing but practice. We’ll see.

Today I was working with the pen and tablet settings and things seem to be working much better now. I should have installed the XP drivers a while ago. Playing with the pressure and opacity seems to be more responsive in the way I have been craving. I’ll have to try out more scenes and subjects. It’s taking me a while but Krita is pretty good. I just have to approach things a bit differently.

Rei Ayanami grass nap RE:do

I was hoping to edit this painting a bit more after giving it some weeks till I got back to it. But due to certain things going on I think this will have to do. Perhaps in a couple of months or years I’ll come back to it. Having said that, overall it captures what I was intending to do.

Aside from the lighting, I also redid the grass and made some edits to
Rei’s proportions and repainted some of her facial features.

Krita Test 3

Another test using Krita, this time with color again. There’s this blending brush that I downloaded that works really well. Just a shame I can’t do it all with just one brush. But I guess if I just add the brushes I use to my favorites it shouldn’t take that much longer than with Corel Painter. The current smeary brushes don’t quite act like I want though, plus it stutters when I paint in the usual large canvas of 9,000px.

Some brushes act like I would expect and others either don’t or lag at the size I need it. Luckily I can make my own brushes so it will take some time to adjust to my style.

Journal Sylvia Sherwood

I finally get the chance to upload this painting of Sylvia. It’s been waiting for weeks. But because of that I was able to do edits along the way. I tried playing around with various lighting techniques on this one.

Snow broken Ice Background

Not sure if I will finish it this year or just focus on other paintings. This is a RE:do of a past painting. I should probably focus on some Christmas paintings and artwork.

School hallway background

I made some last minute touchups to it just before uploading. It was waiting since before October. I wonder is anyone can tell what school this is?

Intangible Tangible

It is now finally time to upload my color painting of Meimi Tamura. I’m glad I waited on uploading it because I made a few touches today. I think it’s time to read books about color theory so that I don’t just rely on instinct. Like last time, I also want to edit a video of the process for this painting. I’ll probably do a short and eventually figure out what I want to do for the longer video.

Akane Side Profile

Now that it’s Spring, it is finally time to showcase the painting of the main love triangle (Akane, Ranma, Ryoga). While painting I was wondering what sort of style I would go for. I’m always split between flat anime styles or more realistic painterly styles. In the end I went for an anime style. After that I decided to add some lighting glare that really brought the background and the subjects together. One thing I leaned from this painting was that it looked better when I added separate lighting for each character on top of the main glare that covers the whole painting.

Hasta la proxima,
