Happy GinTaeWeek 2020! My only contribution this year - updated visuals for my GinTae Fic Series ‘Under Cover’ back in 2018 🙊😊

under cover [1+2/4?]

Gintoki wonders if, during an undercover assignment using Tae as a courtesan, he’s the one who should go into hiding. Hijikata might seem to

Happy GinTae Week, everyone!

(P.S. Will post process pics soon!)

SOLDIERS

L-R clockwise: The Scientist, The Captain, The Major, The Heir, The Prince, The Spare

The Scientist: A prodigious genius responsible for a major advancement in magical military warfare. But his research has wrought havoc upon their land; in shame, he became a recluse, intent on finding a way to reverse his work.

The Captain: An up-and-coming captain quickly rising among the ranks of their country’s magical armed forces. His ambition is fuelled by his desire to avenge the mysterious death of his older brother, who was killed in action on a top-secret mission.

The Major: A famed war hero known for his victories on the battlefield - and the mystery surrounding his death.

The Heir: The oldest of three princes and the heir apparent to their kingdom. His thirst for violence is hidden beneath his royal veneer - or is it even hidden at all?

The Prince: The youngest of the kingdom’s princes. He aims to uncover the unspoken tragedy that had fallen on their country thirteen years ago, when he was a mere child. But no one’s willing to fill him in.

The Spare: The second of the kingdom’s princes. Seen as an easy-going lackadaisical fool who doesn’t take his role as a prince seriously - or is he?

Original characters from my story. 😊

Fanart practice! Used my iPad + Procreate combo after a good long while of using traditional media. Good distraction while waiting for episode 2 😁

花見 ft. #爆豪勝己 ＋#緑谷出久 ＋#麗日お茶子 #ヒロアカ Sakura Season ft. (overly excited) Bakugou + Midoriya + Uraraka from MyHeroAcademia

OT3 1 • First time to use gouache on characters! I was so nervous when I first applied the skintone because it looked so dark, but it turned out OK? Except for Bakugou’s too-happy face (compared to the other two 😂) .

[citruspeelart]

Otae making men’s dreams come true 😂

Another practice piece! Was inspired by the episode where Kagura leaves and she tries to take the heroine’s place. Loved her dynamic with Gin haha.

Also took out my Kuretake Gansai Tambi for a test run. These are really different from your usual western watercolors though! They don’t dry the way I am used to.

Watching #CrimesOfGrindelwald made me remember how much I loved Harry Potter (and my OTP, H/Hr).

For me, the period in Deathly Hallows wherein Ron leaves is an experience that makes their bond with each other even closer (and a missed opportunity for JKR, definitely).

I shipped them not because of the lazy ‘hero + heroine should get together’ argument. I really thought they understood each other well, were similar but different, mature with each other, etc. Real groundwork for a good relationship, and not just based on attraction and excitement. They really bring out the best in each other.

Oh well. They might not be canon, but they were compelling enough as a couple that JKR said they COULD have been. At least we got that dance scene in HP7.2 (thanks Yates)

Shipped them since I was ten until forever (also they give me major Newtina vibes huhu)

PROCESS:

Thought it’d be funny to use a British watercolor brand for this, so I used by Winsor & Newton 45s ☺️ + Daler Rowney paper, I think.

Used my revived Grumbacher palette for this. It was fun to make. I also was shaking in my seat when I was applying the window shadows hahaha.

One thing that I found surprising about this pic is that when I posted it on Insta, it seemed so popular to Japanese users. It’s my most-liked post to date. I don’t know what magic hashtag I used, or did they just relate to the picture a lot, but I’m happy it’s being well-received I guess 😂
