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
Trying to like kisaku but some fans make it a bit hard haha
I was such a kisaku hater when I was younger but I’ve learned to like it, more in GO than in og cause I like their friendship too much
Also I meant to write doomed yaoi but the yuri took over and I think it’s really funny

Sakuma telling Kidou he has better freedom as a part of Raimon and that he knows just by looking at Kidou can be a throwback of Sakuma's lines in Shin Teikoku arc. Sakuma said that "he can't see Kidou's world," but in the ending, it became "I've opened my eyes". Sakuma is the one to reassure Kidou in episode 56, as at that point Sakuma is able to look at Kidou with a clear vision.....
in middle of writing my analysis post, it's gonna be pretty long because i want to tackle as many topics in my to-do as i could in a single post than making short post for each. but honestly the reason why am i not finishing it sooner is because i'm not feeling well lmaooo
currently i'm thinking that sakuma is kind of an unreliable narrator in terms of his insecurity towards kidou. episode 38 and everyday frame it as him feeling like he's not as good as kidou is because sakuma himself mistook it as such. he thought that what he's insecure of is his own ability when it's actually of his place as kidou's friend
but it becomes double unreliable narrator in shin teikoku arc as yes, sakuma's (and genda + fudou but this is not about them) judgement is clouded by meteorite brainwashing but because the emotion he displays is very raw it reveals his Real feelings at the same time. "i can't see your world" = i can't understand you As A Person
even then "sakuma is jealous of kidou's abilities" isn't inherently wrong because he is.. because sakuma's insecurity is deep rooted that he feels bad about every single thing at once, and in ares' timeline where shin teikoku arc doesn't happen you can watch sakuma being left in his issues for a year
current to do list is to write tags because i have a particularly bad habit of using the wrong tags so often and perhaps making an about post. i dont use tumblr for personal posts but i do really like blogging about sakuma and writing my thought process for my arts (i wanted neocities but it's blocked in my country...)
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
Musing about Sakuma being a psychology or any kind of social studies major.. he would want to study more about people and behaviors out of not wanting to repeat his mistakes in S1 era and so that no children will go thru the same thing ever
