Artifical Magic By exfodes Watch

I always wondered how "imitation magic" works. If fake magic still makes you an anime girl then I would take it. Well it turns out I had time to make a second artwork because the first is easy enough, I guess. It also turns out that canvases don't absorb a lot of water, and when you have wet canvases, the colors flow, and when colors are wet, they dry slower. Who would've known that.



Well this image is based on Yumemi's cross attacks and her portrait with the swirly blue energy thingy. I had limited colors and time, and thought it would fit her palette. Also wet colors looks better than dry colors. All that water and floating and dispersion and whatever gives it depth and life. Which all goes away when it dries. I know all this, because I made faux marbling and paint pouring before. Check my art gallery folders for "school stuff".



Shameless promotion aside, I have coffee and canvas tomorrow, so maybe I may or may not be able to squeeze in a final painting for the year. Painting block should be over and I have no idea what the last meeting is about. These things always looked low quality to me, so there is a certain degree of quantity over quality problem going on. Which is better than no content at all. So given the chance, I will continue to make more and pass off the lack of detail as "impressionism".



ZUN belongs the Touhou.
