05.) Kikuo is a vocalic producer who started in early 2013, before that he wrote touhou donjin music in a group called Iemitsu. Hanatan is a popular utaite on and and youtube who's produced cover albums under the name YURiCa before collaborating with Kikuo. 06.) This album and its act 2 have very sporadic yet consistently dark themes. I don't think you can put a genre on kikuos music but all it is so distinctly him you can tell immeditaely. 06.) I went with a starry/space theme because of how otherworldly the sound is.

Scum

The Flowers- surrounded by Love, but not in love, a fictional idea of love.

The Water- Cleansing, purity

The Expression- sick, tired, weak, dazed

The Dress- purity

The Candles- burning for a while, reused candles, been here before and for a while

The Flower Petals- unreciprocated love

Red Eyes- Passion

 Lighting

Pink Glow vs Yellow Glow- 2 sides to a situation

Dark Background- submerges her and surrounds the subject in emptiness

Angle- dual perspectives, makes the viewer fall into the picture

 Colors

Complimentary Main Colors

Pink- love

Dirty Yellow- Dirty, Gross

Triadic Accent Colors

Primary colors- to make the flowers stand out from the rest of the piece although I overlaid them with a pink filter to have them be absorbed into the red-black background.

Tone

Desaturated colors- melancholy, fragile, tired, decomposing, jaded, heartbroken

I tried to do something different with an inking perspective but it didn't work too well. I still like how it came out and I did find new techniques well overcoming the inking issue. I really like how I rendered my eyes in this and I enjoyed working off the line art instead of just the picture. I’ve always been fond of loose and sculpted paintings.

I really enjoyed painting this project. I never get to do photorealism or backgrounds digitally so this was a fun project to work on and do something different with.

AAAAAAAAAA

I’m excited I got to do this because I’ve never utilized the smudge tool before. I also am planning to use this for mental reference for rendering pretty much everything now.

[xxstyxivv]

I really prefer textured brushes

[xxstyxivv]

Baper.

my process to painting my face.

[xxstyxivv]

Before my best friend moved away in 9th grade we went to our favorite dollar store and bought stuffed animals together. So my sheep (mili) is a sentimental object to me. I feel extremely limited without blending tools but I think once I zoomed out and stopped really caring about how it’d look printed on giant poster paper I started to become okay with the process.

I did a second self portrait because I wasn't happy with the first one I did. I wanted to work harder and get better at portraits so I wasn’t satisfied with my first try. I’m much happier with this result though I can see a lot of issues I’d like to fix.

You thought you were iconic but it was I Styx

I've never saved selections before but I have done limited palette projects similar to this. It was incredibly helpful to learn how to open multiple selections at once and be able to save them. I tend to be extremely unorganized so this project will undoubtedly help with that.
