Thank you :) Come enter my DMC! Winners get free art hehe Edit: on the art trending page!! Thanks so so much everyone <3 Edit: WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS LOVING AGAGA TYSM WOAHAH Follow @hanakai- too <3 If you're on PC, this is best viewed in full screen! ^^ YALLL I GOT MY FIRST COMMISSION WOO I know I haven't posted in about 2 months beyond a goofy lil animation (perfectly reasonable explanation down here :>) BASICALLY I did this thing where I made a new manga concept every week for 10 weeks straight! I've wanted to do this since June last year but never plucked up the motivation lol so y'all get to see my other characters drawn along with Iris for once :) ALSO I ENTERED AN OFFICIAL CLIP STUDIO PAINT CONTEST AND SO IAHHABFN idk if i'll even get an honorable mention but guess what I'LL KNOW THAT I TRIED AND THATS WHAT MATTERS <3 1. bored - Iris playing chess cuz shes grounded :( I fr have wanted to make this piece for like- nearly a year?? AND I FINALLY DID WOO WOO 2. forest encounter - my two twins <3 I've been really trying to learn backgrounds! I tbh didn't really do much studying on it lol just drawing and hope it looks good 3. poolside crush - I drew a new character (her name is Kayni isn't she gorgeous) with Lucas, and they're just having fun on this floating island :0 for this piece I made custom foliage brushes (devin elle kurtz as inspo) and it actually worked out pretty well! I think as these progress my background work is becoming a bit more natural, cuz in the twin pic it looks a little choppy ya know 4. into battle - Iris is on a crumbling bridge, shes off to fight someone :) this piece literally took me nearly 10 hours and I scrapped the original background idea I had halfway lol I'm almost certain at least 4 hours or more were spent on the background (dang am I proud of that crumbling bridge behind her IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE HOW I WANTED IT TO if it wasn't blurred I think it'd look messy :'0 5. with you - Eli and Lilly together cuz I feel like I don't draw any other characters other than Iris lol but ANYWAY AREN'T THEY SO CUTE (I made Eli’s hair too purple and out of proportion I’m crying) they’re at a party and they just stepped out together to look at the stars <3 (Eli reminds me of Venti from Genshin impact and I’m such a venti stan) actually learned how to do different face angles, genuinely not sure how?? Like I've practiced side angles for idek how long, but different angles, like the in-between of front facing and side angle, like I've practiced it but suddenly my hand just listens to my brain lol and badabing badaboom I can do different angles which is good cuz I have same face syndrome uwu 6. My CSP contest entry :0 the theme was music, wish me luck - also, this is Ace :) the contest entry ideal canvas size was different from my usual so this one lost its quality :c I PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS PIECE, I think it took me about 14 hours? 7. we’ll meet again - climax moment with Lilly, what will happen?? 9. OLD ART PIECE, NEXT IS REMAKE 8. finale - 1 YEAR REMAKE!! I made this ALMOST EXACTLY A YEAR AGO, it was a contest entry (that lost, I had no chance against a bunch of coders lol) SO I REMADE IT YAYY 10 waiting for you - Eli chillin after some big battle in a field of hyacinths, mourning someone (I wonder who) I RENDERED EVERY SINGLE DANG FLOWER IN THE FRONT. The background flowers were a breeze after that lol for this piece I tried the more clean thin lineart style instead of my usual make a sketch and clean it up type thing :0 I TRIED SO HARD with blending modes man, tutorials make it look so easy ;w; I KNOW the lighting doesn’t really make sense but I tried, oh well lol TW: purple goo 11. sharp inhale - Peppei fighting someone, but dw she’s part monster so she’ll be alright :0 this piece was a bit of a relaxer, easy coloring, easy lighting, easy background, I just got to enjoy drawing it <33 And that’s it!! I did one new piece a week, so this took a couple months, which is why I haven’t posted in such a while! Hope y’all enjoyed a look into my lil world and all my silly lil characters, this makes me very happy :) I think this was a great learning experience for backgrounds! (And the best upside, now I can post a bunch on IG for like 3 weeks straight and get my engagement up hehe) and now that summer vacay is coming up, that means I can work on my manga story, woohoo!1!1! peace out friends <3
