Ranma thumbs up Re:do

On my first attempt I wanted to emulate the anime style coloring, but I was still learning about colors and just using digital art programs.

You can see it here:

It’s pretty rough…

I debated whether to go with the style I’m currently working on or a flatter anime style. I like both so it was a hard choice. In the end I went for something in between. This time I wanted to give some summer vibes.

I’ve been reading the manga, there is so much I want to draw and paint…

Help me reach more people, like and share if you like my work.

Hasta la proxima,

Emil 10th anniversary Celebration

Me and my brothers were waiting for this moment for a while now, and after ten years a remastered edition has now been confirmed in the Nier 10th anniversary event. So to celebrate I wanted to paint a quick piece. I’ve only drawn Emil once before for the Initial D drawing, but I wanted to do another one. Next time I want to do one of him using his magic or something, we’ll see.

I think this only took me a little over an hour to do. I played around with Photoshops blending brush again. I really wish Corel Painter wasn’t as clunky and slow, Photoshop is beating it in this way as well. Corel 2020 is supposed to have fixed that but haven’t tried it out yet.

Hasta la proxima,

Ranma thumbs up Don’t give up

Was working on this last week but didn’t get to finish the painting process till just now after work. The line work was done using my Stabilo pens. It’s been a while since I last used them. I wanted to see what kind of effect it would have when I underlaid it digital paint. It’s not a bad look, especially in the skin tones but, I think the blue is a little too well blue. I’m thinking using a grey pen on most parts except on the skin tones would work better. But at least now I know. It’s a shame they don’t really work well with watercolors (they smear and bleed). Well at least they work with copics. It’s a shame really because when it comes to traditional painting/coloring I now prefer to use watercolors. As for the digital painting process I tried to replicate the anime coloring style which I just absolutely love. Will definitely try doing it again. I’ll also do try doing this using my traditional paints.

Things have been getting rather hectic lately. Stay safe out there, and never give up.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2018 #25 Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong

Recently I have been remembering my time playing Donkey Kong Country back in the day. Of course the main thing I remember aside from the beautiful visuals was the music. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack since the summer. So I decided make a piece for them. I messed up Diddy Kongs star shirt and shaded the inner star… (＠￣Д￣＠；)

I do feel like making another piece for Donkey Kong some time in the future, but this will do for now.
