Added 2025-09-27 11:36:01 +0000 UTCI'm taking a break from drawing....by drawing!!!!!! o wo)b
Here's a timelapse!
I was going to clean this up the usual way, but I thought maybe just painting over the rough would be closer to the feeling I was going for in the end....(totally wasn't lazy or anything ehem)
The colors changed quite a bit during the editing since I wanted more green/blue hues to give a more eery(?) feel...I kinda like both though so it's hard to choose!
I feel like it's getting cold relatively fast but I don't have any winter clothes...._(:3/ L)_
Stay cool/warm/healthy everyone!! Thanks always for your support!!

I like overpainting because it allows to preserve the "energy" of the rough draft better, but in my case it's probably due to lack of skill otherwise. Stay warm too, Nagu-sensei! Thank you for another amazing art to study from!

2025-09-27 15:40:14 +0000 UTCLove the look of the drawing and the colors used for fading the character into the pitch black. Thank you for the timelapse too!

2025-09-27 15:14:51 +0000 UTCAlso i don't see any laziness here at all(they're called efficient ☝️(= w=) )But fr tho, i see you still paid so much attention to the details, like those dots around the flower(they are fireflies i think?) It's quite interesting that you combined the dark background with your intention. When you said taking a break from drawing, by drawing, i interpreted as you drawing in the way you like, instead of drawing in the way commisioner want(just my thought, so i could be wrong..) Anw take care, Nagu-sensei, hope you can always find enjoyment in the things you love (= w=)/💛 Can't wait for the incoming Chainsaw man movie too!!

2025-09-27 13:37:09 +0000 UTCAnother thing i actually like the most is the lighting. Not sure if this was your intention, but that's a Rembrandt lighting right? It's the triangle of lighting that crosses half of the face and drops down to the shoulder. I did some photography as hobby, and Rembrandt lighting is used a lot too, so i can somewhat recognize that. That's why i really like this drawing, it feels like an old painting and gives out mysterious vibe too!! I think blue or green hue matter a way, but it's the lighting that creates the eery feel for me, so i think you conveyed that well, Nagu-sensei!! Also when looking at the flower, it also reminds me of the promotion art from Silent Hill f too. And it's cool that you turned the concept of flowers in Reze poster into something mysterious and eery( i think the act of covering one of the eyes also did the job here (= w=)b ) So that is a beautiful art, Nagu-sensei!! The artwork really has the depth in it. (Word limit again..One final passage for this i promise)

2025-09-27 13:33:54 +0000 UTCLazyness is mother of progress or something like that~, jokes aside a nice mixe of beuty an eeriness and the contrast of light and shadows and how the some parts blur into darkness are my favorites. Winter is nice, we started spring here, mornings are still cold but the day is close tp 30C° again, you know a good way too eep to next fall season Sensei??

2025-09-27 13:17:08 +0000 UTC10Q for the amazing art and timelapse, Nagu-sensei!! Yeah, the weather's going into fall now, so it's getting chilly(no more melting weather, yippy \(= w=)/) Anw i heard Uniqlo in Japan has some of the pretty cool articles with reasonable price, so i think it's a good temporary solution(｡ゝᴗ•) Anw i really love this artwork of your(not because i really like Chainsaw Man tho..heh)And i'll try to give out my opinion as best i can!! Don't know but it's just me, but you applied so many tradition painting techniques in here, and that's so cool!! I know it's your style recently of using dark background for portrait drawing, but it also aligned with the style that many painter used back in Renaissance(since black pant was cheapest so they just used that for background i guess..) So i think it's alright for the rough sketch, Nagu-sensei, because your brush and painting style looks quite fitted to the traditional painting methods too. So ehm..word limit problem..so yeah..i'll continue below..

2025-09-27 12:35:58 +0000 UTCI really love the warm orange light on the flowers and the character, it really make the painting have more feelings! Also, Happy Birthday Nagu-sensei! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) I hope you’ll always enjoy doing what you love, without feeling too much pressured that you have to keep drawing even when you’re not in the mood (mental health is important). I also love hearing your thoughts and stories about games, anime, movies, or just new experiences in the industry ( ∩´͈ ᐜ `͈∩)

2025-09-27 12:33:09 +0000 UTCBeautiful illustration as always, both versions look great! I’ve had the song on repeat these past few days, and this really fits the vibes! I can't wait to watch the movie Take care, you too, Sensei! And happy belated birthday! I hope you had a great one!

2025-09-27 12:19:42 +0000 UTCNice to see you can have a bot of a break with a fun drawing! I like how the overpainting of the rough gives softer colours, espacially in the shoulders and the flower. Fits the "eery" vibes really well Winter also came really fast for us here, 30°C in august turned into 10°C in late Septermber...

2025-09-27 12:08:41 +0000 UTCLovely art as always, Nagu! It gives a cool vibe, aesthetically as well as temperature wise, or is that just the outside temperature influencing me? Or maybe it's influencing you! *gasp* Stay warm and healthy! :)

2025-09-27 12:01:29 +0000 UTCI think it turned out really pretty. I don't think skipping on cleaning up is laziness, if it helped go for the feel you wanted it's called efficiency! Stay warm! Thank you for the update!

2025-09-27 11:59:28 +0000 UTCI can relate to the "taking a break by doing the same thing" part haha. Switching to another game to take a break from the first game in my case. Lovely art per usual. I like plants on people even when they come out of them. Stay warm and cozy! ( ˊᵕˋ )

2025-09-27 11:55:07 +0000 UTCレゼのちょっと怪しい感じというか、雰囲気出てて素敵です！ Nagu先生もチェンソーマン観たんですかね...？ アニメ作画も雰囲気もめちゃ良くて最高でしたね...！(自分はずっとチェンソーマンのナユタをアイコンにしてたくらい好きでw...最近変えちゃったけど...) 最近ちょっとずつ絵の練習をしていて、イラストレーターさんの配信とかタイムラプスすごく勉強になります！Nagu先生のタイムラプスもしっかり観てみますね！
