"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Today’s drawing is of the two rival poster girls, Mai Shiranui and Chun Li. Chest vs Thighs. I’ve had this idea for number of years. I did a really rough background for it back in 2021 but I wasn’t quite ready so it lay dormant till now. This time I did the line art first and will probably end up using a different background this time.

I have had this idea for a couple of years and now , I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to finally draw it. This will also be inked and painted. But that will be uploaded at a later date.

Here is a some line art of Tomoyo Harada holding a Toshiba Sugar RT-SW7 boom box. I used a magazine advert as reference. I can’t believe it, but this might be my first time drawing her. Strange because I have so many pieces I had planned for a couple of years now.

Way back in 2018 for Inktober day 11 I drew Athena Asamiya which looked really rough. Here is a RE:do of it. This time I went for a softer more curvy style. I made the shorts a bit smaller than the original design (they pull up higher up to he bellybutton), I fixed that on the digital line art.

Really like Iko-chan’s outfit.

I recently saw this insane edutainment video that was released back in 1989 named “How to Get… Revenge!” with Linda Blair (the lady from “The Exorcist”). It’s crazy. Wonder if anyone was evil enough to follow their suggestions? What made it even more surreal was Linda’s fun attitude throughout the whole video.

Here is the process of a future painting.

It’s funny, now that my skills have gotten a bit better I have been going back to old art pieces and see what I can do with them now. And in Pixiv there is currently a contest where they want us to upload redo’s of old artwork to showcase one’s growth. Somehow this all came together at the same time. I’ll be uploading some more artwork throughout April.
Working with blues is still a bit tough for me so I want to do some more later this year.
As for this art piece, I edited the line art to change the proportions and angles. Once I had that edited I came up with the background so I could come up with the color theme of 2B.
I felt it would be a shame if I didn’t have a version without her blindfold.

Old version:
I wasn’t too happy with the previous version of this line art I made for Inktober 2022 day 17. Although looking at the reference photo I originally used, I now feel I should have exaggerated the angle and the ratio of the head and hips. Because I didn’t, it doesn’t really look like a down to top viewpoint. It’s just slightly implied. But I’ll play with that idea next time.

This was originally drawn for Inktober 2022 day 18.
I didn’t quite like how the face looked so I wanted to update it before I painted it.

Perhaps I will come back to it. But for now, here is Kuga and Replica.

There are so many drawings that I have left unfinished. This is one of them. The original line art had messy and thick lines that I had to fix. So I just went ahead and redid the whole line art using Clip Studio. There are a few additions and modifications. Next comes the painting process.
Speaking of painting, I feel like there are so many painting that I can redo now. But maybe I will wait it out till I have more skills…
