"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Today’s upload is of sports stands. It has a lot of details so it took a while. Despite that, it is also simplistic with flat colors. Looking at the past attempt is crazy.
I’m falling a bit behind with new artwork, hopefully I have caught up with other obligations so I will finally have time to put more effort into art.

I was hoping to upload this piece a bit later but here it is.
Here is the first version:
There was potential in the idea but the first version was not quite there yet. I first re worked the background by also adding some more lighting details as well as changing the floor layout. As for Ryo and Mr. Karate I changed their postures a bit as well as the overall color with new lighting. Ryo’s face was a bit wonky so of course that had to be fixed.

I felt that my original painting could look so much better, but at the time I didn’t have the skills yet.
Here’s the original:
This time I went over the background first then started touching up Marin. I changed certain proportions and now with some new screenshots I took I also changed the outfit to fit the one from episode 7.
I’d say it looks much better now.

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.

This is another attempt at a past painting. For now here is the background.

I decided to make another attempt at this Usagi painting that I did back in 2021.
Looking back at it again, it looks completely different. I actually had this painting “finished” a couple of weeks ago. But after coming back to it I noticed various areas that I could continue to work on. It’s always great to come back to it with fresh eyes.

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.

This is both a study and a RE:do of an old painting I did that had potential but was definitely left very rough. I remember struggling back in the day, but now it was very relaxing giving it another go.

I’ve been wanting to get back to this painting. Surprisingly only a few things were retouched. I remember being hesitant on adding a shadow to Gojo’s face. I used to be so scared of redoing parts that I messed up. It’s amazing how much growth has happened since then.
On another note, I really loved this scene. I’ve been keeping up with the manga, but I seriously need to go back to rewatching the anime.

Another year, another attempt at painting Athena Asamiya. This is the third rendition. I’m getting there. Looking at it know, there are a few details that I may come back to, but it’s a huge improvement from the last version.

Here is the completed painting of Goku and Suno. I wanted to keep it simple but also add some more details. So I tried balancing both ideas as much as possible.
Here is the original painting:

Mountain Snow Man Background
This is a RE:do of an old painting that had some really good potential but was quite rough. I changed the aspect ratio and added more details that I thought would work well. The mountains were quite different than the anime in the old version. I wonder why I changed them? So in this version I made them closer to how they are supposed to look like.
