art blog for @kardboard-koka! | im a silly little guy whos trying to settle into an artstyle :) i go by too many names like miyo/pippa/koka which i am trying to reduce. i will keep my initials, and "koka" alias but otherwise i need only one for internet social presence.

as it turns out i have to actually make art if i want to post it so heres my funny bottle girl

i think this piece really taught me the concept of making it exist first and making it look better later. i completely lost the plot with the lightsource and my values (ironically what this entire piece is supposed to help me learn) did a prety poor job at guiding the eye, you kinda jsut end up looking at her funny tassle ring thing and her hairtie and not her face . which is sad but im happy how it turned out for the most part, i did spend a year on this because i just like i dont make art anymore and tht kinda freaked me out because i made the astounding realization this december that i hadnt made a piece since january. art has been with me all my life so i figured i should probably finish this one up.

made this to submit to a shtingamobob due today and im lowk unhappgy with it but idc anymotre

kind of inspired by likeee the porcelain gagas????

im really unhappy with the butterfly bit esp,,and the skirt. i had no idea how to go about that so i just didnt?? and i think i hjust really have trouble with committing to my vision if thngs get too hard. i just expect the post editing to carry me hehehe

looking forward to makng somegthing new>>>???? also ave NO idea how accurate it is to like ballerinas but idgaf

this was for like dynamic poses and i think im p good at referencing but i realize actualy hbave no idea how necks work and i ve been like so wrong abot this wthe whole time

look wat ya girl cooked up

mmyuyhm this drrawing came to me in a vision in class. some day i will make a SICK remake of this drawing since id wanna render it but it jus wasnt working out lol. the goopy is inspired by arcane hehehe

here is theee real life struggle speedpaint: (i edit the colors in post bc my tablet makes things more vibrant, i usually dont draft/sketch inclass but i had spare time so the sketch bit couldnt be captured hehe)

i wanted to put like rhythm in my work which is why you get like that curevd line of just her body across the whole piece,, and movement and just also i was like man i dnt really use these colors often lest throw them in ther.e

promise ill improve :)

dinner is served...

tumblr is wher i yap about my art so here i gom,,,,

this is a lighting and composition practice, also for colors and actually making nice backgruonds and adding detail... and also spamming every texture on the planet

theres the sense of flow w the hair,, general framing w the lighting and bright whites, high contrat (black) w the violin and then desaturated colors all over. I KNOW ITS PROABALBY NOT PROPORTIONAL BUT ITS OK BC I PLA Y VIOLIN

but im framing the subject with the bright whies and guiding the eyes with the direction of teh hair, and placement of bright white as well as using light to highlight the subject which is why i wsa yapping about lighting (back to the whites is three main subjects to surround it -> bow, plants, and funny circle thing that looked cool asf) and then my signatuer but thats easier to ignore

i just wanted to do something with like based around an item (violin!!!!!!!) and also like two characters but they're the sam eguy just one is in the background, bc i saw lk e a piece abt aa guys inside aum. picky uppy machine?? grabbing machine... claw game thing i had to look that up so i wanted to do a guy inside a thingso here is said guy inside said thing

for the main background colors i used the ambient light color + the saturated edge color (which is used for the pop against the more muted tealish which is suppose to happen) but they have the same value when put in solely values.. so mixes nicely toegether.

literally BEYOND appalled and devastated at Meta's AI data theft. no longer gonna post on insta ig. :( this breaks my heart.

tried to use nightshade but it literaly took up all my memory and would take like a day to render so im not doing that.

anyways this is a dynamic pose/values/composition/anatomy study

find me on cara at @ cwanklebiter

FUCK META AI

subject is clearly defined using lighting, silhouette defined maybe? i used an airbrush behind the body to add a light emanating effect so that it catches the eye more, give depth to the environment, and just look super uduper cool heheaheha

[cw-art]

my submission for enameka's bnuy dtiys :D

anyways yippee!!1 enjoy i loved rendering nd working wt the clolors,, aaahhh and im doing way better with cloth :)

[cw-art]

silly me i forgor to post this for like several hours so th day will be off but it is 1:30am. anyways heres suletta with the quality all crushed up apparently.

i was rly inspired by the seeason 2? ending animation w the funny effects and stuff but this became less stylistic as i worked on it and th e rough effects did not work w me

im learning to render better and rely less on blendingg modes while focusing on colors. i ove the hair here sooso much. trying to also incorporate characters into the background but she's still moreso ontop of hte backgrond rather than in, it. was inspired by yeureirei for tge shading/rendergig
