Haven't been posting on here an awful lot, but I'm still around -- just elsewhere. Hope everyone is doing well
I am a little obsessed with all of hc’s tinkling accessories, especially as they must appear at night. Confession: I hadn’t even read the novel, but the description of hc’s boots tinkling as he walked during the bride arc sold me immediately. I think my goal is to paint that specific sound...
Summary of Art 2020 (favourites from each month), plus the collection of digital master / photo studies done this year. A bunch more in the old sketchbook (mainly Bargue plates) but this isn’t supposed to be exhaustive.
Following in a friend’s footsteps, I recorded the process of this one and made a speedpaint (warning: it is a flip frenzy :P) https://youtu.be/L0M81nhMqfk
XL is such a beautiful soul

Your Hua Cheng with an umbrella? An absolute stunner and we can't even see his face! But what caught my attention is actually your rendition of blood rain: very simple, yet so astoundingly effective that I can almost hear it drip.
thanks so much for the love, anon <3 aye, sometimes simply letting the mind fill in all the details is the most effective!
I have an unfortunate tendency of overdoing the post-processing, so here’s the original version I painted before the contrast filters.
Tbh I don’t get the hype around Alexandre Cabanel’s ‘Fallen Angel’, but of all the hxh characters, I reckon Kurapika’s the best fit. Thank you twitter prompt. Stretching the painting muscles after a long hiatus~
Well, this is a throwback! Done for a draw-this-again challenge, plus been catching up to the svss donghua & tgcf manhua, which inspired the style.
I think over the years, my idea of ‘improvement’ has changed a lot. It’s less about correct anatomy etc, but more about exploring and figuring out the best way to convey the image & feeling you have in mind. That means having a wide artistic repertoire so that you aren’t limited by technical skill, but it also means that some artworks can’t be ‘improved’ because they are already so successful in conveying what you had in mind.
