Here's a look at my quite chaotic process for this piece "Vertigo" I made in September!

It was my first time really trying hard with a city environment, and I used a little bit of Sketchup and the 3D tools in Clip Studio Paint to help, which you can see in the video. I'd like to get better at cities this year! ^.^

Music: Time
Musician: ASHUTOSH

✦ The Storm ✦⁠
⁠
I had quite a nice time painting this, especially those clouds. This features my 2 characters Taaru and Kiru again, passing by the remains of another ancient creature. The ribs reaching to the sky seem to cause "St. Elmo's Fire", which would indicate they conduct electricity...⁠

My art summary of the year showing my 9 favourite things I've painted (other than studies).

It's been an interesting year - I feel as though I'm closer to where I want to be now. Next year, I want to continue exploring different subjects and experimenting! Have a great new year, everyone 💖

A wintery study I did as part of @abigbat 's studybuddies stream! This was fun, and took about 3 hours.

Swipe for the original photo, which is of Crystal Mill by Willa Wei (@wei_willa on flickr)

✦ Remnants ✦

The kaiju remains are a common feature of the landscapes in the north, even though many have been mined for their bones, which have superconducting properties. They are a large contributor to the current technology of this world. But nobody knows where they came from. All that is known is that they are not natural creatures - they were made, a long time ago...

Here you can see Taaru and Kiru enjoying a sunny day. I restarted this about 4 times, it was very hard to get it to where I felt okay with it! I struggled to get the feeling of scale with the skull, hopefully it comes across 💀

✦ Vertigo ✦

Taaru and their canine companion Kiru are travellers, going from city to city and never staying too long. Here they find themselves somewhere new, and they're worried about the authorities finding out who they really are...

.

Don't zoom in on this, lol. This was WAY outside my comfort zone and I'm not too pleased with the result but hey, it's a step on my art journey, right? So I'll upload it here anyway for posterity's sake. I do really like city paintings, and I'd like to improve my skills there! Maybe one day I'll return to this with my skills levelled up and redo it.

✦ At the Crossroads ✦

Another character from my story (which is mostly just in my head at the moment and doesn't really have a name yet oh no). This is Taaru, who is stuck defending themself at the "Crossroads", somewhere in another universe... More about them later - I'll be making more paintings with these characters and exploring them as I go!

I find it so difficult when I can see what I want to paint in my head but it just doesn't come out how I want it. I suppose all artists have this problem! Strangely, though, the face of this character did come out how I intended. :)
