Künstlerisch

Hi! I'm QU, an animation student from Brazil, currently living in Los Angeles, California. This is my digital art blog. I mainly use Photoshop, but also occasionally Paint Tool SAI, Corel Painter, MS Paint, and TegakiE. Posts are all tagged with the program used. Please also check out Numa Folha Qualquer if you're interested in my traditional art/pencil sketches. I am not open to free requests at the moment, but if you are interested in commissions, see here!!

I haven’t used this brush in a long while.

Are you ever going to update A Study In MS Paint again? ;n; I check it every day to see if you've updated...

Okay, I have absolutely no idea how old this ask is because apparently I never got a notification for it (thanks tumblr) but just on the off chance that you’re still around, or that anyone else cares about this:

short answer: prooooobably not? but not a hard no

long answer: I stopped updating A Study in MS Paint because a series of really horrible things happened in quick succession and I was very mentally unwell. One of the things that happened was that my tablet’s motherboard fried and as I was then living in a foreign country it would have cost me over $2000 to replace it. I ended up being unable to draw digitally for over six months before I moved back to the States and bought a new tablet, and by then I was too harrowed and embarrassed to think about continuing the comics.

That being said, I genuinely loved doing them, and I think about continuing sometimes. I have other things happening in my life now, but my love for Sherlock Holmes never faded, nor did I ever removed the flagged passages from my books that I intended on drawing. I can’t guarantee I will ever get back to them because, life is wild and you never know. But I do think maybe someday it might happen.

my submission to @thewanderersguidetothegalaxy !!

It’s rather loosely based off my home town (Curitiba). Of course I had to draw some Capybaras!

I tried my best to hide a 42 in there somewhere... but I failed orz

More character designs- this was a lineup I did for my Visual Development class a year ago, but I wasn’t happy with it then so i cleaned it up and fixed it a bit.

The prompt was to create a new version of Cinderella. Mine takes place in 1820s Rio de Janeiro, and the art style was inspired by both Jean Baptiste-Debret’s paintings, and northeastern Cordel literature. (yeah, I know Rio isn’t in the northeast, but I kinda got pushed in that direction)

Character designs to beef up my portfolio :V

This is Curupira, both a Brazilian mythological figure, and a character in my last year’s NaNoWriMo novel, “Jaguar Lady”.
