Marisa Christmas Magic RE:do

Back in 2020 I made a piece of Marisa in a Christmas outfit, but it was really rough and I was still using my developing painting style along with my line art which don’t work well together at all. For that reason I believe it would be a good candidate to RE:do with my current skills. Overall I love the new version a whole lot more. I did make some changes to her expression, but I feel that it all still gives the same cool yet cozy Christmas feeling.

Here is the old version:

I recorded the process, should I just make a speed paint video of it? I’ve been quite busy and will probably continue to be so for a while. This means that I probably wont be able to start making the new format for a while. Since Christmas is fast approaching and it would be weird to upload the video a year later why not just upload something now?

If time permits, I will try to make another painting for Christmas. We’ll see.

Hasta la proxima,

Zoro Santoryu RE;do

The first version I painted back in 2021, so two years ago. I felt it was time I gave it another chance. You can see it here:

2021 version

Zoro Santoryu

Here are some pictures of part of the process to start over:

The main idea and composition was there, but I decided to change the background and modify Zoro’s pose a bit lower to the ground. While I was painting this, I was once again re reading the Wano arc. So I decided to use the corresponding outfit. I also changed Shusui to Enma.

In this version of the painting I wanted to play around with the lighting which is why I made two versions, one with light beams on a separate layer and one with my original painting only. I was a bit worried about Zoro’s hair, but I think I made a good balance between how much detail I decided to paint and how much I decided to blend together.

As a side note, I really enjoyed the live action adaptation of One Piece. I really hope they continue making the series. Because of it, I got my dad to get interested in the series and now he’s watching the anime. Now if only my youngest brother would only give it a chance.

Athena Asamiya Peace Re Do Rough Back Ground

Still don’t know yet if I will add a proper background to this painting yet. Now that I have it at this point I have some ideas of what is possible, but I wanted to try this rough background out since I liked it on another painting I saw in my references. To go along with the background, I went for a rough painting style on Athena. There were a couple of changes I made to her face and hair. I wonder if you guys can tell? With this design I wanted a fun, moe feel that emphasizes curves.

Simone de Beauvoir ReDo

Originally painted back in 2020 I didn’t quite like the way it looked. This time around I took off the line art and painted over the original piece until I was satisfied. Also, unlike the original I flattened all layers except two (the background and Simone).

Athena Asamiya Peace Re Do line art

Line art
2018 original line art
RE:do rough draft
pencil line art

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.

Kodachi Kuno Swimsuit V2

Was planning on having this work with the remake contest on Pixiv but the dates didn’t align. Oh well.

Here is the final piece for this painting. Attached will be the old version. I changed quite a few things and also the posture. I painted based on my current memory. Overall I feel pretty good with the end result. Brute forcing the acquisition of skill takes time, but I’m now finally seeing some of the result of my training. Making colors more vibrant really helps make the painting pop more than just trying to mimic reference photos. I know that’s obvious but I wanted to understand why that is the case.

I used to have a tough time blending colors for the sky but using the blending tool makes that super easy. It’s kind of hilarious it took me this long to figure that out.

I just noticed looking at the old painting and the new one, but I flipped the hand position…

Background Beach V2

Here is the background for another one of my RE:do paintings. Recently I started implementing a new technique into my paintings. I’m surprised it took me this long to do so though. I’ll speak more about that later. Perhaps adding more details to the sand would’ve added something more to the painting, but with the subject as the focal point that may not be necessary.

Classmates Tomoko and Yuri V2

Here is another Re:do painting. This one was originally done in march 2022 I think. I had it ready for a while now. But a couple of days ago, after working on some other paintings I made some more edits that I think work better. I’m glad I didn’t uploaded it sooner.

If you look at the first version you can tell just how much my line art was holding me back. without them I can blend areas that are supposed to be receiving light with lighter colors. One thing I have been noticing is that adding more color to my lighting and shading adds more to my painting and makes it look less dull over all. Although I want to try working with a pallet that’s softer but that works well together. At some point I’ll upload examples of what I’m talking about.

Have you guys been keeping up with Watamote? It’s amazing. I really do hope they give an anime adaptation another try.

Hasta la proxima,

Bowsette looking down V2

2023 version:

2019 version:

…. I’ve been kneecapped by my line art…

Because of my painting style using my ink line art doesn’t work well together. And because I was trying to work around it, I kept getting the hues and values wrong. Well, that and brute forcing my growth by trying to paint as fast as possible. Color theory is tough. Unless I want to paint in flat colors, keeping my line art was doing me a disservice.

Today’s painting is of Bowsette, originally painted back in 2019. This time I wanted to draw Bowsette’s whole body. I remember skipping her feet because it would have been a bit tougher, so painting them this time would showcase a growth in my skills. Having only Bowsette looked a bit lonely though, so I added Mario in this Re:do. But that also felt a bit lonely so I debated on whether to add some of that fire I had in my original painting. Depending on how much fire I added though I would be covering up some of my background so I was a bit apprehensive. Adding it was the right move though.

It’s annoying because now that I have done a couple of more paintings I see more things I can change and do differently. Maybe some other time.

Misaka level 6 shift Project V2

This is an edited version of the battle between Touma and Gunha vs Misaka who has been used for the level 6 shift project. I made the colors a bit darker and more vibrant. I also re painted a couple of areas to add more details, lighting, shadows and changing a couple of details.

RE: Drunken Master Jackie Chan Berserk Version 2

This is an edited version of an older piece I made. After about a year of making some type of artwork for every weekday, I noticed that many of them were too rough and unfinished… Every once in a while I will be going back to some of them and see if I can refine them.

Hasta la proxima,
