Nihon no Ryū - Hiroshima and Tsukiji

—-

Hello everyone :D 

I hope you are doing well and after a long absence (mainly because of work and last month holiday), I am back with some art :D.

Because I was in Japan for the second time this year and it won’t be the last time, I really wanted to start a little project.

I wanted to design some dragons, based on the location/places, which I visited. So behold, here are the first dragons:

Hiroshima and Tsukiji.

For the design, I tried to cooperated the things, which the places are known for etc.

For example:

Hiroshima has besides the maple leaves, radiation burn scars, because of the bomb. Meanwhile Tsukiji looks like fish like, because of the famous  fish market.

I had so much fun, doing their designs and I am getting excited to do more of them.

Also I hope you like those design so far and wanted to see the next dragons.

Oswin Wildfire and Alphonse O’Neil

—-

Hello everyone :D 

I am trying to getting back to making art and I think, I am getting there slowly.

Finally I finished an idea, that lingered quiet some time in my brain.

Behold, it’s the #genderbend version of my Oc’s Oskar and Alpha. Or should I introduce you to Oswin and Alphonse.

Like their original counterparts they are studying music. But Alphonse wouldn’t be an inspiring singer, he is studying to become a conductor.

Oswin is still trying to become a songwriter and composer, but her band will be more an emo - punk- rock band.

They will have more differences, but I will trying to keep their core characteristics and vibe.

Overall I really like their design very much and their new possible dynamics :).

Sketch Book Entry: Tsubaki Gianola

—-

Hello everyone :D 

I hope you have a wonderful day :). Although I am working on a detailed painting, I still want to do art. Especially something loose, during the week, like after work and such.

So I started to sketch a new character, which I had in mind quiet some time.

So behold and let me introduce you: Tsubaki Gianola. She is the future daughter of my #ocs Pascal Gianola and Ginko Yukawa. The little girl calls her dads Papa (Pascal) and Chichi (Ginko) and like her Chichi, she was found in a carton box in her cat form. Which was very chaotic, after she turned back as a baby and her Papa came home with new cat stuff.

The little girl, knows the members of her dad’s Band and for her it was growing up in big family. Also, her childhood bestie is Max Wildfire, the youngest child of Oskar and Alpha.

Although Pascal didn’t want have kids at first, she somehow changed his mind and she is his biggest princess. 

It was fun, doing her design and picking up my markers again :). I think, I will do more artworks with her in the future.

Blue berries

—-

Hello everyone :D 

I hope, you had some wonderful and yet festive days :). This year, my hubby and I celebrated at home and it was more cozy and comfy.

Anyway, after a few weeks, I finally manage to finish this cute artwork :D. Although most dragons are giant lizards, I draw them mostly tiny in comparison.  Also this painting reminds me a bit of some old school botanical artworks with a bit of art nouveau  elements. For the paintings, I chose the holbein irodori gouache; the winter and the summer set. I must say I really really love the natural looking colors.

My favourite part  of the painting are the blue berries. I hope you like this piece too.

The floating islands in the moon light

—-

Hello everyone :D 

On my japan trip 2 months ago, I bought some art supplies. One of my supplies is a Kuretake #GansaiTambi set.

To test this fancy #artsupply, I had a sketch on my Ipad and because I like it so much, I transfer it on a square format paper.

This kind of art is one of my comfort zones. It reminds me of the 2000 space artworks, with dolphin and such.

I must say, I really like to work with the material. It feels like a mix between gouache and watercolor.

I hope you really like this piece and I hope I can do more traditional artworks in the future :). Because I missed it so much.

Married life

—-

Hello everyone :D I am back from my long artsy pause! 

I hope you are doing all well and I have a cozy art piece for you.

Oskar and Alphas relationship is kinda a cute yet wild ride. Coming from different backgrounds, live style and family, their connection is very closed.

I draw them mostly in their „younger“ years as student. But I really wanted to explore their future as a husband and wife.

Well the thing is, they got married, when Alphas was pregnant with their third child and the twins were like 5 years old. But hey they are married.

In their future family life, Oskar will be the one who is staying home with the kids (thanks to his job as a musician/song writer) and Alpha got a opportunity working as a professor at the music academy, where the both studied.

Well the family life goes well, that Oskar gained a bit weight aka got a #dadbod, after he quitted with smoking. He is a bit self concious about his weight and body, like in this scene.

But his wife doesn’t mind. He is know more cuddly then ever.

star crossed lovers

—-

Hey Ho everyone :D

I hope you have a wonderful week. This week, I could manage to find a small time frame for doing some traditional art and I manage to finish a piece, that lingered on my desk.

Behold, it’s another flowery dragon portrait :3. Maybe you remember these two dragons. This time I drew them in some sort like a wedding. But fate wasn’t on their sad and one day, the bond broke.

For the flowers, I tried to choose some that summaries the fate of star crossed lovers/ tragic love story.

Overall I really like the over all look and their different dragon species.

Teenagers

—-

Hey Ho everyone :D

I hope you have a wonderful day and you had a wonderful weekend. It’s only a few weeks, till our trip and damn, I had a lof of prep work. I am also kinda, starting a lot of new things / sketching, which yeah, I don’t have many finished project :’D.

And I realised, that I forgot to upload an artwork, which I had so much fun with it! I drew Oskar with his colleagues/friends / bandmate as teenagers :D. Well their outfits based really on the 2000s/2010s aesthetic :’D. Which I don’t mind.

And I think they look like your typical teenagers from the show.

I also did (next slide) in their current age and I think they got a glow up (hahaha).

Well my hubby said (because we got together when we were teens), I looked just like Paddy (top right), back in the days. And I am honest with.. I had a similar style :’D.

Be calm

—-

Hey Ho everyone :D

I hope you have a wonderful day and you are excited for the weekend :). I am trying to upload more regularly, but with work and preparation for our future holidays, I am kinda busy at the moment 😅. 

Well, anyone out there with #ocs know, that some of your characters have some „theme songs“ and I am not an exception. 

So, I did an artwork in my Wildfire #oc sketchbook, with Oskar in black and white coloration and a yellow background.

Not just a yellow background, the background has also the first part of one of his theme song. Technically he has 2 major songs:

Be calm by fun.

Life less Frighting by Rise Against.

I think, the first song fits slightly more than the second. Especially if you read the song text and knowing about his character.

I must say, I had really much fun doing this kind of style and coloring. It looks great and it pops. So I decided, I will do more character in the future :).

Waiting for the boyfriend

—-

Hey Ho everyone :D

I am back! I hope you didn’t mind my absence. It’s not like I didn’t do any art, it’s mostly I was so busy and it was also so hot here, where I live so yeah. Another factor is, that I working on to many #wips at the same time so yeah.

Well luckily, I could finish one artwork! And it’s one of my #unicorn #oc: Alpha. Okay I was inspired because of a certain, pin up meme, but  anyway.

Now about the artwork: Alpha is waiting for her boyfriend Oskar, to coming home in his apartment. Meanwhile, she is eating some of his cinnamon rolls and reading a book (that she lend from Pascal). It didn’t take long and her boyfriend is coming home.

What I really like about this artwork, is her expression :).

Character Sheet: Oskar Wildfire
 —- I hope you had a wonderful Sunday. Today is my relaxing day, after the eventful tree days :D. Luckily, I put my stuff away, so I don’t need to bother.

Well during the convention, I finally finished with Oskars character sheet (horray!!). After two unicorn girlies, why not the main character :D.
Designing the outfit was fun - but coloring was eh… Well it’s a bit general with me and digital art.

My favourite outfit is the sun fest and the Dad TM. Because, after he got his kids and married Alpha, he turned into the biggest dad. Although he rocks on the stage, alone or with the band, at home he is biggest softie.

What is your favourite outfit? Do you also like to design outfits?

Blood related

Hey ho everyone

I hope everyone have a good day :D. Finally, I finished one artwork of the many many wips, which I have.

This time, it’s a bit of my #ocs #lore! 

Because: I finished Oskars bio-parents (finally, yay).

So here are the parents:

His father (left) Pavel Korv‘drakona. A very very rich man, who thinks money is everything. His family owns a trading company and the father is the youngest of the three brothers. But because one dies, because of an „accident“ and the other is in some sort in a scandal, that his father decided that Pavel should run the company. This man, sees as righteous and loyal man, who‘s moral compass is always good (which is clearly not). He has 3 other childern with his late wife.

As a certain musician became more and more famous, he slowly remembered that he has unfinished business or a little accident, that happend 23/24 years ago…

His mother (right): Béatrice Rougerie. A single mother, who‘s life wasn’t always easy. Before she was nurse (her dream job), she was fille de joie ;). And Pavel was one of her clients. After some events, she got pregnant with Oskar. First she didn’t want the child, but during the pregnancy, she slowly warms up. But luck was not on her side und through some circumstances, she has to give up her son. Always wondering through the years, what happened to her child. After 23/24 years, she is moving with her teenage daughter Geraldine to the same apartment building, where Oskar lives. When she sees him the first time, she couldn’t believe with her owns eyes….

It was very fun designing the parents and I think, Oskar looks really like his father and mother. But slightly more like his dad.

Fun fact: If one of the parents kept Oskar they would give him a different name. Béatrice would named her son Hector and Pavel would named him Nikolai (like the name of his father).

The maiden and the unicorn

—-

Hey ho everyone

I hope you had a good day :). During the weekend, I had hyper focus and finished this painting.

I think, it looks so gorgeous and the colours are vibrant. The idea came from the sketchbook entry of the unicorn, which I made weeks ago. Because I like the tiny sketch, I decided to do a fully fledged artwork and I must say, it was worth it. Now about the painting:

 The artwork is heavily inspired by medieval - renaissance paintings. It’ not just the pose and subject of painting, I also thought about the colours. For example, I used for dress, the color ultramarine. Which was used a lot in the paintings of the Virgin Mary. For the paint media, I used #gouache, because I think it’s the most similar paint media from this time period so yeah.

Overall, I like the painting very much and I think, it’s one of my best gouache of this year.

I hope you like this painting too. Also artist out there: Which paint media do you like to use? Let me know in the comments.

Easter surprise

—-

Hey ho everyone

I wish you happy #easter. I hope you have beautiful day :3.

For this day, I thought I could a small, fitting artwork of my unicorn #oc Alpha in a bunny suit 🐰. Although, the coloring is more messy and #sketch like, I kinda like it. Because she looks cute in her outfit.

And there is Oskar, who is all flustered again. The poor guy…

Oh well, anyway, I wish a great Sunday everyone!

Trapped

Hey ho guys 

I hope you are all doing well :). Finally, I finished my unicorn acrylic painting. For this piece, I was heavily inspired by the medieval unicorn manuscripts. Which, I think, it shows in this artwork. I also incorporated flowers, that symbolize the overall scene of the art.

I must say, it was fun, working with acrylic again and I think the piece looks so gorgeous and the colors are rich. The favourite part, is the blue background.

Moonlight

Hey ho Folks :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Well yesterday, I went with my hubby to our shared garden and picked my oil pastels again. Outside, I did this cute fella :3. I must say, I missed a bit working with oil pastels and although, this artwork is simple. I think it is cute :3. Especially with oil pastels, I can achieve this soft children books look, which I really adore.
