Waking Up Rei Ayanami

On By Nube ObscuraIn Artist Project, Chance!, UpdateLeave a comment

Here is the final part of this painting of Rei Ayanami. I took many rests as I was finishing it up due to various reasons but I’m glad I did because it gave me a chance to see it with new eyes. On top of that, at some point I finally began experimenting with the blending tool. The soft one is the one I eventually chose to use. For harder blending and separation of colors the sergeant tool is is my best tool. But for certain textures such as the skin I need softer blending sometimes.

Overall this was a fun painting to play around with.

Waking Up Background

On By Nube ObscuraIn Artist Project, background, Chance!, Update, work in progressLeave a comment

Having PC issues again. After a couple of months my PC begins going into restarting fits. And once they start, they start becoming more and more frequent. Looking around it seems like it might be hardware issues. Perhaps I’m using more power than my power supply can give or it’s my motherboard. Hopefully my PC lasts long enough to last this year.

On the other hand, here is a background for a piece that I’m working on. I thought I was done with it, but after coming back to it I felt there were plenty of things that I could fix. Sadly the PC issues kept messing with my progress. So I had no choice but to reinstall Windows and also all my programs. As I’m writing this, I still need to install my art programs but it’s getting late so I might have to finish that up tomorrow.

Hasta la proxima,

Racer Sayumi Honda CR-X

Right now I’m in a Hello Project art mood, I can’t help but want to draw the members whenever I want to try out a new style. But I figured I should try to draw some new subjects, so I was looking through my reference folders and decided on drawing a Honda CR-X which I quite like. Once I had the line art done I decided to try out a new shading style which consists of just laying it down with parallel lines. I quite liked the aesthetic of this style. But once I was done I wasn’t too sure what else I should do with it.
Then I started thinking about maybe implementing someone in front of the car. Then it hit me, I could use that Sayu picture I drew where she has short hair. Once I cleaned up the background I resized Sayu so that she would fit the size of the CR-X and well… I really love the way it came out. I guess things were just meant to be. Somehow that short hair and hat make her fit that racer look.

Hasta la proxima,

Asuka Kato miniskirt

I finally did a painting of Asuka Kato from Watamote. I really like the way she tries to get closer to Kuroki, even to the point of giving Kuroki’s weirdness a pass. I am a bit weary that she will get corrupted by her but I think there won’t be another Kii-chan incident (I’m sure Kuroki won’t let that happen again). She’s just such a nice genuine person. Plus she’s gorgeous.

The drawing was done for the 17th day of Inktober 2019. It was painted with Corel Painter except for the snow which was done with Photoshop using a combination of the scatter brush options and then using a special effects brush. I quite like how it turned out.

This painting has three versions. The original drawing painted of course. And then two versions of her holding an umbrella, one with snow and one without.

Hasta la proxima,
