Tomoyo Harada ski

It’s finally up. I made some last minute additions to it today. I’m so glad I bought the blu-ray copy of the movie. The quality is amazing. There are so many details that I couldn’t see before on Tomoyo’s outfit. It’s actually a lot more intricate than I thought. I also didn’t notice the Boya print on the gloves. And with the better quality I could zoom into her sunglasses to better define the reflections.

If you haven’t seen “私をスキーに連れてって ” or “Take me out to the snowland” I recommend it. It’s a nice time capsule of the time. Seems like this movie influence many to take up skiing and even now they reference it in advertisement’s. I mainly wanted to see it due to Tomoyo Harada but there are other awesome things such as a nice showcase of Toyota cars racing through the snow and their drivers. I’m pretty sure they must have been an inspiration for the sil-eighty drivers from Initial D. Very fun movie overall even with my limited Japanese.

Oh yeah, this was also a Valentine’s day movie thus the upload date.

Hasta la proxima,

Cirno Snowy Steps

Finally I have decided to upload my painting of Cirno on the steps background that I had previously uploaded. I’m really glad that I didn’t upload it right away. There were a couple of things I decided to change not only with Cirno but with the background as well. If you compare the background from this painting to that of the old upload, you’ll see that I have added a blue hue to the snow shadows and also worked on some rough areas over all. As for Cirno, the main area that had me concerned were her ice wings. I had some blue hues that didn’t look right. Now it looks much better.

Strangely enough, I think this might be my first time doing a piece on Cirno despite liking her design.

Hasta la proxima,

Snow Mountain Background

This will be the background for a painting that I plan to upload in February. It’s based on a scene from a movie I really like. Playing around with the subtle color changes in the snow and the details and lack of them on the trees was somewhat challenging. I wanted a rough idea to be represented, but at times it just looked like a bunch of scribbles.

Snowy Steps background

A winter background for a painting that I pretty much have finished. But I might edit certain details when I come back to it. For the last couple of days where I live has been snowing and going below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It really feels like winters this year.

Komi Shouko Winter line art

Rough Draft
Pencil Line Art: I quite like the way pencil flows
Line Art

For some reason I had the urge to draw Komi. It’s been a while since I last catched up with Komi’s manga. Last I remembered they went to New York I think? I think it’s time I go back to reading it.

I have a number of paintings waiting to be uploaded but I need to space them out between background and the finished painting. Which helps me rest my eyes on them so that I can give them a look over and edit as needed. Plus I really should do some more drawings and line art.

Because they are simpler to do I can create some time buffers so that I can practice and work on longer projects. My brother was telling me that I should do some traditional art, and I do want to. But it takes longer so I have been neglecting it lately. It’s sad just seeing my Nicker Poster colors cake up.

We’ll see.

Hasta la proxima,

Mem-cho Winter stroll

I was fighting this painting till the end. I made so may edits at different times and now I’m not even sure how I feel about it. Did I push it too far? Not far enough? Should I simplify more? perhaps at a later date I will know the answer. But for now I will leave it as is.

I really like Memcho, I hope I did her justice. Either way I want to paint her more in the future.

For those who follow me here you get to see the old version I had ready to go a couple of weeks ago before I began editing it this week:

In this version I was following the line art more closely that I drew for Inktober 2023 Day 16.

Freezing Background WIP

This week has been something… Somehow I was able to make progress on this painting though. Here is the background for now. We have been having waves of strong winter storms lately where I live, and it seems like more are coming on the way. Winter this year has been living up to it’s name (and the end of the last).

I’ll upload the finished painting on Monday if all goes well.

Hasta la proxima,

Guts Frozen Quest

The original idea was to have Guts in a frozen scenery, but as I was painting the background I decided to add in Casca and Puck. This scene would be taking place right after their encounter with Griffith and Zodd, I was wondering if adding more layers would slow down my tablet but it had no problems what so ever. I guess it was just the canvas size that was giving me problems…

Hasta la proxima,

Happy Birthday Momochi 2022

Momochi in her winter outfit was super cute.

Momochi is the first painting on my new clean install. I started with the sergeant brush which was a bit rough (looking). When I painted Momochi it became obvious that it definitely didn’t fit well together. So I used the tapered oil to soften the edges and blend things together a bit. This also helped give the feeling of distance. Momochi’s outfit was a bit tough at the beginning since I had to come up with different shades of white for each piece of clothing. Then there are slight shades of blue and greens that interact with the reflections and shadows from the snow. I left the face and hair for the end. With the surrounding colors finally figured out, working for these last colors was much more straight forward.

In computer news. So far so good, while painting I encountered no problems what so ever. So I should be able to just paint without any problems from now on.

Hasta la proxima,
