Updates for the past 3 months (March thru June)
Hello!I haven't posted much from the past few months, I had been really busy with a lot of things, mostly commissions and stuff.I did made some personal artworks on top of it despite being swamped with a lot of projects.Right now I'm still finishing off my commissions but also, I've been really hard at work with another Bocchi the rock fan animation featuring Toe from last time.This time I have a drawing tablet company to sponsor/help me with it by sending a review copy.So I'll d...
Activity update and Illustration for Dec 2024
Hi! It's been some time, I've been busy since last post, which was around September of this year.A lot of things have happened that made me busy and occupied regarding art as well as irl serious things like calamities.About calamilities, the past months has been seriously ridiculous as our place and country in general experienced back to back to back typhoons, that was about 4-5 typhoons in a span of 3 weeks, and our area personally has been hit 3 of those with the last one being a super...

Illustration for May and Updates on Activity | May 2024
Hello! I'm finally back after a few months of hiatus.I was off mainly due to making and finishing my art course in coloso.It was very tedious and took me away from doing personal artworks and stuff but its worth the hassle.If you are interested on what the art course is about you can see the link here: (frame embed) So as you can see, its all about my process on illustrations and background work.Those techniques I will be sharing for all who take the art course.And since this is my fir...
BTR ⨉ Toe Animation
At long last, finally, I can put this mini project to rest.It took me a lot of time, 15 weeks to be exact, to finally push through and finish this idea of mine.When I first thought of doing this, thanks to a little idea planted on my mind by a friend, I didn't know what I was signing up for.The line art/ sketch alone took 177 individual keyframes, a total of 1252 frames for a 52 second animation. On top of the multiple backgrounds and other things I had to do.Naively, it is actually my first...
Kessoku Band ⨉ toe (high-res png files & more!)
Hello again! Thank you for the love and support you've given to my recent illustrations featuring BTR. I truly loved the series and I am truly a fan of j-bands, math rock and much more, especially toe.So I thought why not combine it.And so this illustration series was made. Well, I initially drew Ryo as a one off illustration but gradually, thanks to some of my friends, I dived into animating it, as a tribute to BTR and toe.Here you can view high resolution images of the band members which y...

HOLOctober pack! [Oct. 12-31]
I had been busy prior october, and STILL havent finished Warcouncil Maids, but I decided I'll give Holoctober a try, to breakaway from commission works.Even though I missed the first 11 days, I did not fail of what's left, from oct 12 to 31,20 artworks, back to back, everyday for 20 days.I still wish I had joined during the first days but alas.The backbreaking challenge thought me how to be efficient at my process time-wise, and help stabilize my style. The sleepless nights were worth it...

Quetzal | Gacha-like Illustration (Blender and more!)
Tried to do gacha-like illustration, and tried my hands on creating the background in blender!I went on to find a motif that interests me, some sort of an exploration of ancient civilization, since my OC was supposed to be an early 19th-century-meets-modern explorer/archeologist.So I got to working on a sketch:I wanted to emphazise the mayan stone face totems as well as the stone sun disc on the floor. After that I went on to blender.As artists, blender can be a powerful tool, depending on the u...

Ina | March 09 2022
Here's the gif showing the process in which i paint backgrounds.I paint from the back to the foreground. But generally it is sketch -> base colors -> and then refine, refine and refine.It will help painting if you have already established the values and the colors you want to use. For this reference photos with colors you like would help.bg studyHere's the clip file for those who want to see the layering.And that's all. Thanks as always!

[TIME] Post-production notes, storyboard and .clip file. | Jan 12, 2022
My recent artworks featured a simplistic yet elegant style, which marks a return to my preferred workflow; animation-style cel-shading.I find the charm of this workflow more appealing and expressive, simple yet elegant.It's the story, the lighting and the background that carries the artwork.I had initially not intended this to be a 2-part illustration, but it felt kinda awkward to leave the viewer without a rewarding feedback for viewing the illustration.The lighting becomes more intense on ...

Private Background Scenery Commission | 11042021
This is a background that was I was commissioned some time ago. Two characters having tea on a private manor overlooking a large pond.This is probably gonna be used for their game I think.This painting is a culmination of all the techniques I've learned so far. But still I always strive to improve further. You can see the foreground grass to be hastily drawn.I spent about 12 hours in total for this artwork.As you can see the color mood and palette I used is similar to Makoto Shinkai's Ga...
Mumei | Oct. 4, 2021 Illustration notes
The inspiration for this artwork just came out of nowhere. But anyway this is another paint on top of image.The background image was sourced from Flickr. As you can see, color correction, balance and lighting changes the mood dramatically. I also painted and removed some things before blurring the background.Here's the somewhat unblurred version of the illustration:Sadly I haven't saved the modified unblurred version of the background.Also here's a little guide to draw plants and som...
Smol Kronii | Procreate Sketch | 090321
I'm still getting used to painting in ipad. For this I just used the default brushes included in procreate.The layers system in the app is not as robust compared to desktop painting programs like Clip Studio or Photoshop, so I just compromised. I think it still turned out great. I might try out Clip Studio on the ipad but I'm not a fan of subscription only.Anyway enjoy the timelapse!IMG_0245https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/92482330

May 20, 2021 | Ina's Birthday
The illustration provided is in full-resolution.For this piece I had considered rendering the bookshelf in Blender, but I ultimately decided to paint over a stock photo I had found online.I listed the process of how I painted the illustration: The initial sketch:The painting-over process:The blue sky painting canvas behind Ina:イラストはペイントするのに少し時間がかかりました
Illust. panel: Amelia | 04242021
Pre production sketches and logs.I initially had this idea a few weeks before. Panel-style illustration.The above were initial sketches of the storyboard.And before painting the character, I did the background first.I intentionally left the center kind of devoid of details, since it will be covered anyway (an excuse to be lazy, lol). Then I did the character. Painting the background actually gave me more trouble than painting the character three times. For this post, I removed the captions in th...
