nearly thirty hours of planning and sketching and painting later... oppotsu yuuta is done!!

final shots prior to firing~

early sketch work~

this was such a long and wonderful process 😭 i had so much fun painting this piece, and the support and encouragement along the way from friends and strangers alike was so incredibly lovely!

♡ a pair of hand-painted satoru & suguru teacups ♡

note: these are slip-cast bisque pieces; i purchased them from the studio as blank pieces and painted them before they were glazed and re-fired to create a lovely gloss finish. in-progress photos and me rambling below 👇

omg im so happy these are done!!! i know a few people have been patiently waiting for me to get these finished to see the final results, and im so so so happy to finally be able to share them ♡♡

i had a lot of fun putting together various imagery and references into these designs~ satoru's design came together much quicker than suguru's (i debated heavily on if i wanted to do rainbow dragon or not), and i went back and forth on a bunch of designs for the saucers (originally only satoru's was going to have hands reaching, while suguru's was going to be a mess of various curses) but i settled on the symmetrical asymmetric hands on both of them.

theres a lot of little details, and im very pleased with how it all came together ♡♡

thank you so much to everyone who's been following along and encouraging me with kind words! i really appreciate it (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+ ♡

some in-progress pics below, so you can see the difference in colour before they were glazed & fired! ↓↓
