Gojo Satoru and Iori Utahime In Shibuya

Originally I just wanted to paint Gojo. After catching up with the manga I now understand why people love him so much. But after painting him in, he looked so lonely. So I had to contemplate what to do or who to pair him with. Ultimately I knew one thing for sure, I didn’t want Suguru Geto in it. I personally really like the relationship he had with Iori, they look really fun together.

Next was how to pose Iori with Gojo. Seeing as I had already had him curled up, it just made sense to have Iori sitting on his back.

One of the things I worried about while painting this though was the cityscape. The buildings (some of them anyway) seemed to have been new in 2022 based on the Google Street View reference I used. Meaning the landscape would look completely different when Gojo and Iori were younger. But on the other hand, finding interesting locations from various angles would be a bit tough, especially period correct.

Shibuya Day Background

This will be the background for one of my recent favorite characters. Although that series has a lot of characters that I like. Because of the amount of details this felt a bit daunting when I first started working on it. But not much one can do except just do it. Having said that, after I finished working on it I decided to buy some transparent rulers to make long straight lines easier and more uniform. I don’t know why I was so hardheaded and didn’t do so earlier.

The background it self made me appreciate Google Maps so much more. I forgot that I could just use it to get background locations from different vantage points and modify my location to get a more aesthetic shot on the fly. I’m so glad I’m living now.

Hasta la proxima,
