This will be the background for Airi’s painting. I switched from Fire Alpaca to Krita.

Another test using Krita, this time with color again. There’s this blending brush that I downloaded that works really well. Just a shame I can’t do it all with just one brush. But I guess if I just add the brushes I use to my favorites it shouldn’t take that much longer than with Corel Painter. The current smeary brushes don’t quite act like I want though, plus it stutters when I paint in the usual large canvas of 9,000px.
Some brushes act like I would expect and others either don’t or lag at the size I need it. Luckily I can make my own brushes so it will take some time to adjust to my style.

Crazy but Spring is coming to a close, I have one more Spring painting before we move on to the Summer.
The original idea for this painting was from an Inktober drawing I did back in 2024 day 8. I was a bit overwhelmed throughout the whole process but eventually got into the flow of things.
I wonder how long it took Ryoga this time to get back home?

When I first started I was a bit overwhelmed due to all the details. It got to the point that I had to take a week or two after I started. But once I came back to it, it wasn’t too bad.

Due to certain circumstances I’m falling a bit behind have art ready to be uploaded. But hopefully things get better soon. This painting I decided to work on today after I was done with other obligations.
This background is actually a RE:do of an old painted I made years ago. I think it looks much better now.

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).

Mountain Snow Man Background
This is a RE:do of an old painting that had some really good potential but was quite rough. I changed the aspect ratio and added more details that I thought would work well. The mountains were quite different than the anime in the old version. I wonder why I changed them? So in this version I made them closer to how they are supposed to look like.

I wanted to try coloring in the anime style again. This time I chose Noriko Takaya from Gun Buster. The original line art was done for inktober 2021 day 18.
It can be seen here:
For that version of the drawing I was going for a fall scene, but since we are now in these sweltering heat. I changed it to a summer scene instead. I changed Noriko’s outfit and leaf to fit the new theme.

This is the background for another painting in progress. I want to do more pieces that capture the rainy weather we are experiencing where I live and the green foliage that has bloomed because of it.
This has been painted with Corel Painter.
