Raining Ginza crosswalk Background

I was wondering what the background would be for one of the next paintings. Luckily there are those walking in the rain videos that gave me plenty of locations and reference materials to choose from. In the end I chose this crosswalk in Ginza. The street reflections were something I was worried about, but after trying it out a number of ways it all started to work out. Some of the proportions weren’t really working out once I started to compare it to the subject of this painting but it was something I could fix as I went along.

Rainy Lonely Bus

Even in the last minutes I was making some last minute touch ups to the hues and values. I also went back to the window to repaint all the raindrops since they were too big. I should have noticed that before when I painted the background but it became really apparent when I painted in Karin. Speaking of Karin, despite my instincts I tried adding in more blue/green hues to the shadow areas on her skin. I’m still rough but it definitely made the colors pop.

Rainy Bus Window Background

I love Spring, I love rain and I love raindrops on windows. But man does it take a long time to paint every single of them. I believe the last time I painted them was for my Momochi study I did years back. Hopefully I get to do some more before Spring ends.

K’ Pain V2

With a bit more experience I decided to give my K’ painting another try and fix areas that I felt needed work. I’ve also added a couple more details such as lights and steam. Pretty soon I will start working on some winter artwork. Shame I couldn’t fully enjoy this fall season.

Kana Arima Cafe Visit V2 RE:do

I felt that the previous version I had looked off but I didn’t know why. At some point I got a comment that pointed out the arm and sure enough that’s what it was. My brother said that I should go back to basics, maybe that’s what he meant.

K’ Pain

We are essentially at the end of autumn. It went way too fast…

In any case, in order to commemorate it I decided to paint K’. One of my favorite characters from The King of Fighters. The idea came to men when I saw the animation of him panting and in pain. Once I have a good idea of how I will edit my videos I’ll upload the process.

Fall Background

Fall is just about to end, so I decided to make one last painting to commemorate it. It’s a shame I didn’t get to enjoy it much this year. Maybe next time…

Those who know, will know who the character I chose for this painting.

Kana Arima Cafe Visit

I watched Oshi no Ko quite a few weeks ago. I loved it. By far my favorite character is Kana. I really want to make make more paintings of her.

The weather is finally starting to change and so are the colors, even if ever so slightly where I live. I wanted to portray a cozy atmosphere with this painting. Thus the colors and location I chose.

In terms of the painting I liked playing with different lighting colors that happened due to the light sources coming from all around her. Lately I have been debating whether to keep the big anime eyes, or making them more realistic. Personally I like both but often do wonder if my art style works better with more realistic proportions.

The window looked a bit too simple and empty so I decided to use the skill I learned from painting Momochi a while ago and add some raindrops. I think it’s a nice touch.

By the end I decided to make the painting into a sequence.

Here is the process:

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.

Rei Hino Miko

Here’s a quick painting of Rei Hino in the rain. It has been wanting to rain where I live, but the rain keeps going over us… At least the temps have gone down a bit.

Lynn Minmey Rainy MR2

It’s been a while since I last made a painting of Macross. I came upon a reference picture of Akina Nakamori which I felt would translate well as a Lynn Minmey painting. I thought about changing the outfit but quite liked the aesthetic, so I decided to keep it. The reference picture I have didn’t allow me to find out what the car is, which made me decide to paint an MR2 in it’s stead.
