Didn’t come out quiet how I wanted it, but I did learn from it. It’s something I want to try again at some point.

Inktober 2026 day 08 Autumn Waves
Ranma Leaning in Pose
The design itself was based from the pose from a reference photo. I liked the force perspective that I want to get better at.
The design of the bikini was from Ranma’s usual clothes, just in bikini form (I still wonder if I should have designed it in a better way). I wanted to play around with water reflections this time. It’s still a bit new to me so it was a bit tough deciding where it made sense to add blue and green hues.
A shame I wasn’t able to finish it before summer ended though…
I’ll try to do more paintings this month along with the daily drawings for Inktober, but we’ll see.

Beach waves and sparkles background
I’ve been slacking a bit… Kinda hard to concentrate with everything that is going on…
This will be the background to a future piece that I hope to finish soon. I’ll upload the line art for it next week. As for this background I wanted to work with the shallow part of the beach which will include the way things look underwater. It was definitely a bit tough to get the idea, but I think I have it mostly there. Perhaps I’ll change things in the upcoming days but in the end the subject will be the focus so who knows how that will change things, or not.

Momochi in the Beach RE:do
I originally tried painting this drawing back in 2020. To keep with the theme of the original attempt, I decided to go with a flat style. Though it would have been interesting to try it with my current style.
I was quite content with the simpler painting but I wanted to add in some lighting to really emphasize that summer vibe.
Original attempt in 2020:

Beach with Waves Background
This will be the background for a RE:do of a past painting that I did years ago.

Momoko Tsugunaga Krita
In order to continue to test out Krita I decided to do a study of Momochi using one of her photos from her digital photobook vol. 77. I was at first using a really scuffed reference photo until I remembered to search for a high quality version.
The oil brush is still not quite there yet but the blender tool is the best I’ve tried so far. I just wish I had the ability of using the sargent brush in Krita. I really miss it.

Sunset Beach Background Krita
I guess I had lost the brush that I remembered trying out weeks ago. This one isn’t lagging like the other smeary brush. I ended up editing the brush a bit and removed the texture it was using. I’ll be modifying it as I use it throughout the year. Next test is when I paint the main subject.

Momochi Glancing to the Right
I was hoping to upload it on the 23rd but sadly things didn’t work out. This will mark the last Summer painting of 2025. Now I’m planning to do some Autumn paintings and also do Inktober again this year.

End of Summer beach background
It’s essentially the end of summer today and tomorrow so I’ll be posting both the background today and hopefully the finished painting tomorrow if all goes well.

Beach Background
Finally got around to RE:do a painting that I was supposed to have worked on this summer. I’m almost done with the update, but I have to add to it finally.

River Cross Section
This background is to recreate a scene that I really like from an anime that I just started watching. But just copying the scene would be no good, so I decided to at least change the vantage point. With that said, I have seen landscape paintings that are done in a cube or in a cross section. I really like the aesthetics of it, so I decided to give it a try for this one. It was actually pretty fun to paint.

Beach Background
A piece I’m working one and this will be the background. Summer is finally ending, so I should do a couple of pieces before we finally enter autumn.
