Dear Supporter,

literally how boring and dull do you have to be to dislike codependent relationships in fiction like where is the passion where is the devotion where is the worship that inevitably corrupts and destroys one if not both of them

My Ina11 powerscaling opinion is that I actually prefer if Genda was in Ares timeline's Inazuma Japan instead of Saginuma.

Like I admit Genda is my goat; but also narratively Neo Japan in original timeline happened because Saginuma was very very frustrated he wasn't even chosen as tentative rep, after Epsilon matches motivated him to get stronger; which didn't happen in Ares so I think Genda being chosen instead of him makes better sense plot-wise... though I'd feel a wee bad on Sakuma if it were the case

Acrylic gouache painting + small review

Sakuma painting I just finished + WIP of him and an older Hiroto I've been wanting to post but I don't have a complementary piece to post him with. More talk under read more

Supplies used:

Holbein acryla gouache set curated by Rebecca green

Art Philosophy gouache (underpainting only)

Daler Rowney and Lyra synthetic brushes

Makeup brushes I no longer use for makeup purpose but performed better than my painting ones

I'm practicing painting again. This time using the Holbein Acryla Gouache set I bought for my birthday this January. I got myself acrylic gouache than regular gouache because my painting style is closer to acrylic and oil's than watercolors' (I'm really not good with watercolor)

Holbein's acrylic gouache performed really well so far. I love how opaque the paints are except for the gold color. I think it should serve a different purpose, like say, for glazing, than the opaque paints.

One complain I have for the Holbein arylic gouache is how quick they are to dry and the stickiness of it, so I had to pick more paint and use a bigger brush to fill a big area. I read a review that the Liquitex paints are less sticky and I wanted their set but they're too expensive in my country (Indonesia)

I really wanted to try the dry brush technique and I'm glad I did it pretty well on the left Sakuma painting. I rely on it to create color transitions because of how the colors laid previously show under the dry brushed paints. Honestly it's not that different than my digital art style where I keep brushing to create a feeling of gradient. Speaking of which it was a painting of this frame but I chose the wrong colors so the vibe ends up different lmao

The Sakuma on the right was rushed because I got too tired to continue further so he looks wonky with muddy colors. He's still my son even if he's a bit fugly. But yeah I had so much fun with this piece, I'm planning to do more traditional arts from now on, maybe I will try soft pastel too? Perhaps

Listing the brushes I have used so I won't forget next time (1/?)

Why was episode 56 titled Endou vs Gouenji when it's literally a Kisaku episode. Whacks the staff with toy hammer

What's also funny is how in game everyone stops Kidou before he gets too far but no one gaf when Sakuma is beefing on Fudou in anime like,

Game

Kidou: shut the fuck up before I -

The others: hey... calm down... he wants your reaction....

Anime

Sakuma: FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

The others, Kidou included: 🤷

My favorite game vs anime difference of S3 so far is how Kidou is the one beefing against Fudou and everyone has to stop him before he punch Fudou's face

Bonus: This scene below happens after Kidou scolds Fudou for making fun of Toramaru saying he can't sleep if not at his home. Hiroto's response is sweet and funny

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.
