I briefly saw your recent sketch as I was heading out the door, without getting a chance to more closely look at the context. So I'm just out there the whole day on the slopes, wondering why Douman was haunting an Italian chef 😂
Hareno !! 😭😭
I didn’t think I’d get to see peppino and douman together again so soon & from someone that wasn’t me because of how silly the idea is — Super adorable art!!! Thank you!!! Douman making a eloquently put (in Italian no less! ) reservation request from a failing Italian business is .. something I can see happening 😂
I’m heading to work right now and the idea of a random skier bein like “huh I wonder what that was all about” while tackling slopes is super funny

You went to tour an apartment.
Even with the struggle of really bad artists block, I'm really happy I was able to finish a painting. This is a continuation of my liminal series of paintings. I was thinking of Level 94, but from the inside. Though I think it ended up leaning into the dreamcore genre. For some reason the scanner didn't register the last character in my signature. I'll have to look into that.

I had an event recently and amidst my very terrible artists block, my goal for it was to at least make one painting and one fanart piece. I wanted to try out my new gouache set that my friend @siribunbun gifted me, and since she's a huge fan of Genshin Impact, I thought my first work with the set should be from that! I really vibe with this Neuvillette guy so I chose him.

Working on some new art for Otakon and drew Miss Crane! I love her character design and the event she debuted in. I wanted to draw her like being on a fashion magazine cover and based it on the style of Vogue covers from the 1920s. The croissant was in my initial sketches, and I was originally going to change it but then it grew on me. It made me think of how in the event, Miss Crane was playing up her French and trying to hide her identity. So it ended up being a little bit of a humorous detail.

A Familiar Place
It's been a while, and I'm excited to show what I've been working on since February in preparation for my first convention! I've always had a love for liminal spaces so it brings me joy how much attention they've been getting as of late!
I wanted to do a series of drawings of such spaces based on my own travels. Though, I didn't think my usual mediums were going to cut it to create what I wanted, so I ended up having to learn how to paint with gouache. Gouache was totally new to me so trying to create these illustrations and learn at the same time was definitely a challenge!
I've made these into letter size prints and postcards, and will be available this weekend at Awesome Con!

I thought I'd finish my gouache painting and put it up before leaving town, but I still have a few more finishing details to do first. For now, here's some from the sketchbook. Still trying to get out of my massive artists block and a bunch of other things, but hoping I can get back to drawing lots again.

A Dream from Last Night: Second Anniversary
The night between the seventh and eighth of April marks the anniversary of my first and very unexpected Douman dream. These drawings were actually supposed to be for the first anniversary last year, but I didn’t have time to do anything in time. I made these sketches later on,and held onto them for months to post for the second anniversary. I put the rest of the description in a read more because I have much to say!
For the theme I went with a part of the first dream that was influenced by a book I read about graphic design in Cuba. The first three images depict a scene from the first dream I regret not drawing, the segue from the reveal to the mambo montage of Douman in Cuba. Edit, tumblr doesn’t like external links so I’ll have to just mention to see “Que Rico Mambo” by Perez Prado. The song in the montage was indiscernible, but the one mentioned is the closest I could find to it. Douman dropped their disguise via walking past an arcade column.
The other images were for the anniversary, where I had some fun doing studies of the graphic design book that influenced the Cuba segment of the first dream. The “Visit Cuba” image is the only one I referenced directly, with some edits of course, while the rest are inspired by a bunch of different things from the book. (there was no credit in the book for the referenced image other than it was a luggage label)
I like to think that once Merlin and Dantes are summoned, as individuals who watch dreams, they also see all of Pilar’s encounters with Douman in her dreams. So for the anniversary drawings I wanted to make a sort of comic depicting that in some way.
The last drawing I had this idea that suddenly came to mind, something like a welcome poster. I had a lot of fun conceptualizing and drawing it.
I never got to finish some of these and sadly don’t currently have the time to do so, but I wanted to post them anyways since I’ve been holding onto them for months. While I currently have other higher priority art to do, I’m looking forward to continuing drawing all the dreams! The most interesting thing is that after I finished 5.5, I stopped having them. I do like that it worked out that way, the final dream was a perfect last dream encounter before finally seeing one another in 5.5, and plus the dream count is capped and not a growing list anymore lol.
