"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Crazy but Spring is coming to a close, I have one more Spring painting before we move on to the Summer.
The original idea for this painting was from an Inktober drawing I did back in 2024 day 8. I was a bit overwhelmed throughout the whole process but eventually got into the flow of things.
I wonder how long it took Ryoga this time to get back home?

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,

Although there are still a few days till the end of Autumn, it is also Christmas time that will be coming up. With that in mind, this will be the last painting of the season so that I can start working on both Christmas and winter paintings.
Although I like most of Ranma 1/2’s characters, Shampoo is definitely fight for the top spot (it’s always fluctuating among girl Ranma, Shampoo and Ryoga).
This time I decided to add some backlight with Photoshop. I don’t know which version I prefer more.
Hasta la proxima,
