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.

Lighting background

This will be the background for a certain painting that I will upload in the future. Surprisingly I kept having trouble with something so simple. I kept painting and repainting both this background and the actual subject. All I’ll say is that I’ve come to really like the sponge brush.

Sayumi Ski Goggles

Here is the final painting, there are two versions. One with lighting and one without. And despite the effort I put into the background, most of it is covered up. Hehe.

Dojo Background

For today’s update, it is a RE:do of a dojo background. Last time it was a bit flat so I wanted to play with the lighting and shadows as well as detailing certain areas more.

Usagi’s room background

For some reason this week I wasn’t able to make any new art. Luckily I have a couple of paintings that I have ready but I like having a good long buffer so that I can keep uploading weekly. I just don’t like eating into it in case something comes up and I won’t have time to work on new paintings/drawings. Hopefully by next week I will have cooled down.

For today’s upload it is a RE:do background of Usagi’s room.

Lucrezia Noin by the Balcony

As mentioned last time when I uploaded the background, this has been a painting that I had planned months, years ago? I’m glad I waited this long to make it though, now that my skills are at this level. I was contemplating putting Zechs Merquise in the veranda. On top of that, I recently got the idea to add Releena next to Noin. Perhaps next year.

I believe this is the first painting or even drawing of Noin, which is surprising since I really like her character. Much like G Gundam, Gundam Wing was my introduction to the Gundam fandom. If time permits I want to make some more Gundam Wing paintings.

River Cross Section

This background is to recreate a scene that I really like from an anime that I just started watching. But just copying the scene would be no good, so I decided to at least change the vantage point. With that said, I have seen landscape paintings that are done in a cube or in a cross section. I really like the aesthetics of it, so I decided to give it a try for this one. It was actually pretty fun to paint.

Waking Up Rei Ayanami

Here is the final part of this painting of Rei Ayanami. I took many rests as I was finishing it up due to various reasons but I’m glad I did because it gave me a chance to see it with new eyes. On top of that, at some point I finally began experimenting with the blending tool. The soft one is the one I eventually chose to use. For harder blending and separation of colors the sergeant tool is is my best tool. But for certain textures such as the skin I need softer blending sometimes.

Overall this was a fun painting to play around with.

Waking Up Background

Having PC issues again. After a couple of months my PC begins going into restarting fits. And once they start, they start becoming more and more frequent. Looking around it seems like it might be hardware issues. Perhaps I’m using more power than my power supply can give or it’s my motherboard. Hopefully my PC lasts long enough to last this year.

On the other hand, here is a background for a piece that I’m working on. I thought I was done with it, but after coming back to it I felt there were plenty of things that I could fix. Sadly the PC issues kept messing with my progress. So I had no choice but to reinstall Windows and also all my programs. As I’m writing this, I still need to install my art programs but it’s getting late so I might have to finish that up tomorrow.

Hasta la proxima,
