Frieren and Himmel Lake Meeting

After weeks, I finally get to upload this painting of Frieren and Himmel. I was more worried about getting the right look of the lake and the reflections correctly. But I think I managed to do that. I wonder if I did the right thing making Himmel’s cape capable of covering his head. In the anime I never saw him do it, but all the amount of fabric makes it seem so. Which is why I decided to take some artistic liberties.

I wanted to create a fantastical feel with the setting, color and brush strokes. I’m getting close to what I’m imagining but I haven’t quite fine tuned it. Nothing I can do except to keep painting.

On another note, I am getting tempted to start collecting figures. Not only because they look so cool and beautiful but they would help out a lot as reference material since I could study them from different angles. Perhaps in the future.

Also, since I recently finished reading Dungeon Meshi. It’s time I read the Frieren manga. Can’t believe I forgot to do that.

Hasta la proxima,

Meimi Spring

It’s time to reveal the main subject that corresponds to this background. It’s Meimi Tamura. The reference I used is from her music video Butai. I really love the song and music video it self. There are many scenes I want to give a try in painting but that will be for another time.

Here is the music video, do check it out:

We have come to the end of Spring, my second favorite season. I managed to make a few seasonal paintings to celebrate but I had more ideas that i didn’t get to do this time. Hopefully I will manage to do better next year. Next paintings will be about the Summer (my least favorite season due to the heat).

Hasta la proxima,

Misty Flower Lake Background

For today’s background painting I am continuing the Spring theme (which is getting closer to it’s end). I was worried about whether I could bring to life what I had in mind. I had to take in steps among a couple of days to figure out how to make it work. Not rushing things and taking time off away from the painting has really helped me. Now I understand why other artists do it.

The actual painting is actually now finished, but like other paintings I will upload it at another date. This will help me as well to look at it at a later date with fresh eyes.

Hasta la proxima,
