"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I’ve been wanting to get back to this painting. Surprisingly only a few things were retouched. I remember being hesitant on adding a shadow to Gojo’s face. I used to be so scared of redoing parts that I messed up. It’s amazing how much growth has happened since then.
On another note, I really loved this scene. I’ve been keeping up with the manga, but I seriously need to go back to rewatching the anime.

Looking back at the original upload, it looks really washed out compared to this version.

The original version was uploaded back in November 2020, but I feel that it was lacking. I now feel a bit more confident to go back to it and update it with my current skills. Not only did I change some colors but I changed the sleeves and chest area. The background was also touched up. The right eye (what appears to us as the left eye) was drawn too far down the face so Athena looked a bit deformed. Aside from that, I also changed the gaze so it appeared that she was looking at us. I should seriously actually render paintings more, I’ve been leaving them too rough.
Original can be seen here:
Aside from seeing the original piece, you can learn what inspired me for this particular painting.
