Hi, sorry to bother you! I just wanted to say your art is so so beautiful, the colors are always so mesmerizing! If it's ok, could you possibly share some tips on how you pick colors//shade//anything else for your backgrounds in particular? Thanks a million, and have a nice day (❁ •͈ ꒡ •͈ )

aaaa thank you so much kind anon!! 😭 I take a lot of inspiration from makoto shinkai's movies, the mangaka kii kanna, and ghibli movies amongst many other things (nowadays I find myself being inspired by harusono shou's art a lot as well), but in general I always try to create very warm and comforting environments like them.

in order to achieve that I emphasize the lighting and liveliness of the environment a lot, which can be seen through these sketches of my digimon adventure 02 summer piece

the first sketch was made in 2020 and the updated second sketch was in 2022 - back in 2020 kii kanna was more of my main inspiration so I didn't apply the same techniques and colour palettes that I do now. while the colours in the original sketch aren't necessarily worse, in general my sense of lighting/rendering/shading was weaker. when compared side by side it's clear that I opt for a much stronger blue shade now with my shadows, and that's because I like the way it contrasts the brighter parts of the background and creates a peaceful yet somber mood if that makes sense. it's definitely a matter of preference in terms of the colours, but I think more importantly I learned that painting different textures + understanding lighting + shading are really important to make backgrounds look more fully realized.

I would go more in-depth but honestly I'm really bad at explaining things SDFJKG but I hope this was helpful in some shape or form!!

just 10 seconds

do you think you'd ever sell physical prints of your art? because honestly i would love to see your digimon and the persona 3 protagonists art physically. would definitely support you if you do ever decide to sell physical prints! oh so pretty!

not atm, though I've thought about making a digimon art book at some point in the future. I have been getting more and more questions about selling prints though, so while I have no immediate plans I'm definitely considering it~
