Not sure if I will finish it this year or just focus on other paintings. This is a RE:do of a past painting. I should probably focus on some Christmas paintings and artwork.

Snow broken Ice Background
Snowed Mountain background
I was just about to upload the final painting and completely forgot that I had yet to upload the background. Looking at it now, there are areas that I could work on the details but most of it will be covered anyway. Having said that, playing around with shapes and different planes/layers.

Kana Arima Cat Sweater with Mem-cho
I finally finished the Oshi no Ko manga a couple of weeks ago. Personally I liked the ending. But that’s all I’ll say so as to not spoil anything.
On another note, I’ve recently been playing around with lighting effects. These really change my paintings and help out in ways that would take me too long to figure out and paint by hand. I wanted to learn how to do it by hand first though to build the fundamentals. Although I still have a ways to go but it should be ok to try new tools.

Frieren Winter Sky
I finally finished the painting of Frieren. The original drawing was made for last year’s inktober for day 13.
You can see it here:
I decided to change a couple of details not just for Frieren but also for the background since the last time I uploaded it. I just finished it at the time of uploading, so hopefully I won’t regret not giving it some time to rest on my mind.

Memcho peeking line art
A certain painting felt a bit lonely so I decided to add in Mem-cho. Here’s the line art and rough draft.

Kana Arima Cat Sweater Line Art
There’s a couple of new brushes I downloaded for Clip Studio which of course included pens. There is one that emulates translucent ink which I wanted to try out. It’s pretty realistic. I like it.
Now that I’ve done the line art, I cleaned up the lines and finalized sections that I was still planning out. The next step is figuring out how I want to paint it.

Winter in the trade city of Warm
This it the background for a line art I did back in October. I decided to try out a red sun this time. Might play around with the lighting a bit later, but who knows. I do wonder if this port city gets snow at all, seeing as it is called Warm.

Airi Jacket RE:do
It’s about to get even colder where I live so I wanted to paint something to reflect that. Looking at some references I remembered a painting I made back in 2021 that I wanted to eventually get back to and give it another try. So I decided to RE:do my Airi painting of her in a jacket. I also decided to try out a couple of new brushes aside from the sargent brush. I’m glad I did so because some of them fought me less when I was spreading paint and mixing. My plan is to continue practicing until I understand them better. This time around I was also more confident in giving her mitts a try.

Winter Lamp Background
I saw this beautiful photo of a lantern lighting up a tree and snow that I wanted to try and paint. Perhaps in the future I might use it as a background but who knows.

Marin and Gojo’s Christmas
I’m running a bit late with this painting. I was hoping to make two Christmas paintings, but oh well.
I was having a hard time on how I should decorate Gojo’s room. The idea was to have them both watching either some Christmas videos or planning their next costume. One thing I knew for sure is that I wanted some snowman so I added them on the window. In terms of the decorations I wanted them to be quickly put together as this would be a new thing for Gojo and Marin would most likely bring them for him. So I wanted it to be minimal. That in turn though made the room a bit barren so I decided to have some tea/coffee or hot chocolate cups present. It’s not much but it made it much cozier in my opinion.
As I was painting I was contemplating whether to have the monitor in front of them or not. It’d be a shame if I didn’t upload that version either since I spent quite a bit of time on it as well (especially Gojo’s sweater design).
Merry Christmas, hope you guys have a good one.

Winter Camping at Night Rin Shima
I’m currently working on a Christmas painting but time has been reduced a bit lately. So although I wanted to leave this painting for later I decided to finish it today. There were a few tweaks that I had to do last minute today to fit in more with Rin Shima’s gear. I had added some falling snowflakes but decided to omit it and only left some lit particles on the fire.
Hasta la proxima,

Winter Finger Gun
Here is a special upload. Happy Velentine’s day.
Just had to paint the iconic scene.
