Love Note – Photograph – The Way to a Woman’s Heart

🇩🇪 Diese momentan in der Welt zu sehen fällt zugegenermaßen schwer. Entsprechend bleibt mein Eintrag der letzten Woche noch eine Weile oben im PaintLog angeheftet.

Dennoch gibt es genug Ablenkung und tatsächlich Liebe zu entdecken, wenn man sich vom Doomscrollen nicht allzu sehr fertigmachen lässt. Für mich stellt das Zeichnen ebenfalls eine mögliche Art, den Belastungen durch die Weltlage zu entkommen.

Wie ihr euch sicher erinnert, fand im Februar in Arcryla City das Valentins-Event statt. Ein erstes Bild hatte ich euch hier vor zwei Wochen bereits präsentiert, inzwischen sind noch drei weitere hinzugekommen, sodass ich den Arcryla-City-Bereich meiner Webseite nunmehr um das Valentins-Event erweitert habe.

Beginnen möchte ich jedoch nicht mit meinen eigenen Bildern, da nämlich auch meine Kollaborationspartnerin aus dem Sleepover– und dem Zeppelin-Night-Ride-Bild an diesem Event teilgenommen und für Prompt Nr. 2 „Best Friend“ ein Bild bzw. derer zwei gezeichnet hat, auf dem sowohl Crissy, wie auch Paula, Potato und Conway zu sehen sind! Ich finde, sie hat alle ausgezeichnet getroffen!

Mein erstes Bild indessen, Prompt Nr. 1, hätte hier eigentlich letzte Woche bereits erscheinen sollen, musste aus bekannten Gründen aber auf diese Woche verschoben werden. Ein ähnliches Bild, allerdings aus anderer Perspektive, hatte ich schon länger im Kopf, nun bot es sich an, es auf diese Weise umzusetzen. Inspiration war ein Amphibia Fanpic auf Instagram. Dennoch war es eine recht knackige Übung in Anatomie, speziell Kopf und der sichtbare Teile des Gesichts mit Nasen- und Mundpartie:

🇬🇧 At the moment to see this in the world is difficult. Accordingly, my entry from last week will remain pinned to the top of this PaintLog for a while.

Still, there’s enough distraction and actually love to be discovered if you don’t let the doomscrolling get you down too much. For me, drawing is also a possible way to escape the horrors of the world.

As you surely remember, the Valentine’s event took place in Arcryla City in February. I had already presented you a first painting two weeks ago, in the meantime three more have been created, so that I have now expanded the Arcryla City section of this website to include the Valentins-Event.

But I don’t want to start with my own pictures, because my collaboration partner from the Sleepover and the Zeppelin Night Ride painting also participated in this event and did a drawing (actually two) for Prompt No. 2 „Best Friend“, in which Crissy, as well as Paula, Potato and Conway can be seen! I think she did an excellent job of capturing all of them!

My first painting, Prompt No. 1, should have been shared here last week, but had to be postponed to this week for well-known reasons. A similar painting, but from a different perspective, I had in mind for some time, now it offered itself to implement it in this way. Inspiration was an Amphibia fanpic on Instagram. Nevertheless, it was quite an exercise in anatomy, especially head and the visible parts of the face with nose and mouth area:

Love Note

The day Paula had to leave early – but left a note.

Digital painting, comic style: View from above; Crissy (young woman, short purple hair) is lying in her bed on her belly, eyes closed, ruffled hair, ruffled bellyfree pajama, the right hand is holding a hald band (choker), the head is resting on her left arm; to her left a plush water bear clothed like a mechanic, to her right a small letter with indistinct handwriting, the signature "Paula" and a purple lipstick print; there are two pillows (a small one under a big one), the blanket covers only a part of Crissy's butt, it's right side is pulled back; the left side of the painting is covered by faint but warm yellow light, hinting to a pattern of a window's frame.

Das zweite Bild, Prompt Nr. 6, spielt in der Nacht, in der Crissy, Paula, Potato und Conway zusammen auf die Zeppelinfahrt gegangen sind.

In diesem Fall habe ich auf denselben Hintergrund zurückgegriffen und das Bild dann noch einmal separat gespeichert, um es in Sepia umzufärben und dieses dann als Basis für das Foto einzufügen.Kurz hatte ich überlegt, das Foto von vornherein in Sepia zu zeichnen, zunächs die richtigen Farben und Schattierungen zu nutzen, erschien mir jedoch akkurater und wenn man schon ein Programm hat, dass in Sepia umfärben kann, wieso soll man das dann nicht auch nutzen?

Kleines Detail am Rande: Endlich ist im Hintergrund auch Potatos Handtasche zu erkennen, im Zeppelin Ride Bild war diese noch von Potato verdeckt.

The second painting, prompt No. 6, takes place the night Crissy, Paula, Potato, and Conway went on the Zeppelin Night Ride together.

In this case, I reverted to the same background and then saved the image again separately to recolor it in sepia and then to paste it as the base for the photo. Briefly, I considered drawing the photo in sepia from the start. Still, first using the right colors and shades seemed more accurate and if you have a program that can recolor in sepia, why not use it?

A small detail: Finally you can see Potato’s handbag in the background, in the Zeppelin Night Ride painting it was covered by her.

Photograph

The Night they went on the Zeppelin Ride – and Paula nicked the bottle.

On the Zeppelin Night Ride there was a photographer around. After their dance, Paula and Crissy posed but the photographer had bad timing …

Digital painting, comic style: A photograph in sepia colours slightly askrew showing a ballroom inside of a Zeppelin with Paula and Crissy in it; Crissy: young woman, short purple hair, big round glasses, skirt, bellyfree top, toefree kneeboots; Paula: young woman, light green hair, a big bang combed to the left side, knee long dress, parted at the front, many frills, bellyfree shirt, plateau kneeboots, holding a bottle of wine to hide it behind her back; they are standing close together, Crissy looking blushing to Paula, Paula looking to the wine bottle out of the corners of her eyes; chairs, a table and a window showing a star filled night sky in the background; the photo is laid centrally over the (coloured) version of the Zeppelin's ballroom.

Und zuletzt Prompt Nr. 7, „Baking“. Bei diesem Bild wollte ich einfach nur eine kleine, kurze Episode aus dem Leben des frisch zusammengekommenen Paares darstellen. Hier was ich zugegebenermaßen faul, für Crissy habe ich das Template wiederverwendet, das ich von ihr für das Haustier-Prompt der September-Challenge gezeichnet hatte und auch keinen richtigen Hintergrund verwendet:

And lastly, prompt No 7, „Baking“. For this painting, I just wanted to depict a small, short episode from the lives of the newly made out couple. Here I was admittedly lazy, for Crissy I reused the template I had drawn of her for the September Challenge pet prompt and I didn’t use a proper background, too:

The Way to a Woman’s Heart

The day Crissy decided to build the Steamomix 2000 to bake Paula a cake.

Crissy has zero baking skills, so she chose to solve this problem in her own way – she just had to fix some minor adjustments on the prototype.

Digital painting, comic style: Crissy (young woman, purple hair, big round glasses, wearing yellow and black striped trousers and a short-legged dark violet mechanic's coat, a pocket watch dangling out of the back pocket) in side view, sitting in the squat watching a robot labelled "Steamomix 2000", a roughly egg form on three wheels with several hoses, cogwheels and cylinders, on top a funnel with a red arrow facing downwards, there also is a small open oven's door and a conveyor band with a black burnt cake on it, covered in black smoke; a thick black cloud of smoke is emerging from a small exhaust pipe, hitting Crissy straight in the face.
Digital painting, comic style, light background: Crissy Faith, a young woman with short purple hair and big round glasses in a pajama embroidered with bears with eight legs, she is seen from the side hunkering down with a box of algae next to a mechanical bear with eight legs, the core of che mechanical bear is an aquarium, a projector throws a picture on the wall showing a water bear approaching towards some green algae, on the ground a pocket watch

Character Development

🇩🇪 Unverhofft kommt oft. Das heutige PaintLog war eigentlich schon fertig, da inspirierte mich die heutige Episode The Owl House zu einer weiteren Fanart-Zeichnung. Interessanterweise passt aber auch diese unter die obige Überschrift. Um euch nicht direkt zu spoilern, findet ihr das Bild wieder einmal ganz unten im PaintLog. Oder natürlich im OwlLog (🇬🇧) . Dort, wie auch auf Instagram, könnt ihr euch wie immer auch meinen Senf zu Gemüte führen, den ich zu der aktuellen Episode von mir zu geben habe.

Das Arcryla City (🇬🇧) Sommerfestival geht in die letzte Woche. Vorab also hier schon einmal die Ankündigung: Der nächste Showcase findet kommendes Wochenende in der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag deutscher Zeit statt. Wie üblich heißt dies, dass ihr meinen Beitrag zur letzten Challenge am darauffolgenden Sonntag an gewohnter Stelle (🇬🇧) finden werdet.

Dank zahlreicher Unterhaltungen und Brainstormings in den Chaträumen des Discord-Servers habe ich meinen Charakter Crissy (🇬🇧) in der Zwischenzeit soweit weiterentwickeln könnten, dass es Zeit für ein Update des Charakterbogens wurde. Der alte ist nach wie vor gültig, stellt sie aber „ready to work“ dar, der neue sie als Person:

🇬🇧 Always expect the unexpected. Today’s PaintLog actually already was ready as today’s episode of The Owl House inspired me to another fanart art piece. Interestingly, this episode also fits under the topic you can find above. To not to spoiler you, you will find the painting right down at the end of this PaintLog. Or in the TheOwlLog, of course. There as well as on Instagram you also can take the two pennies which I gave to today’s episode.

The Arcryla City Summer Festival is heading into its last week. Therefore the announcement in advance: The next showcase will take place next weekend in the night of Saturday to Sunday (German time). As usual this means you will see my entry to this last challenge on the following Sunday at the usual place.

Thanks a lot of discussions and brainstorming in the chats of the Discord server my character Crissy developed in a way that there was time for an update of the charactersheet. The old one still is valid but it’s depicting her „ready to work“ while the new one shows her as person:

  • Character sheet of a young woman, digital painting, comic style on light "paper": She has got short purple hair and is wearing big round glasses. She is also wearing a leather coat, leather boots, yellow and black striped trousers, belts and a brown (leathery) safety helmet with gadgets, in the right hand she is holding a driller like tool, in the left hand an adjustable screw wrench, the background is a diffuse grey cloud encompassing her silhouette. There are background information on the sheet: Centre: Crissy Faith - Steam Engine Mechanic; Left: Strengths (good with anything mechanic, straight thinking, work gives her focus easily); Flaws (doesn't have a grasp of people, gets insecure easily when in company); Fears (being rejected, afraid of heights) Right: Full name "Cristallina Coralia Faith (She/Her), 23 years old, height 1.66/5'5'', pan (didn't figured it out yet), Likes (Water Bears, Machines, Mangoes, pizza, fish cocktail), Dislikes (Crowds, Interacting with people, Unreliability), Trivia (chaotic at home, pocket watch being a heirloom, neat handwriting, wobbling when feeling insecure)
  • Character sheet of a young woman, digital painting, comic style on light "paper": She has got short purple hair and is wearing big round glasses. She is also wearing a leather coat, leather boots, yellow and black striped trousers, belts and a brown (leathery) safety helmet with gadgets, in the right hand she is holding a driller like tool, in the left hand an adjustable screw wrench, the background is a diffuse grey cloud encompassing her silhouette, on the ground letters are forming the word "Arcryla City". There are background information on the sheet: Cetre: Crissy Faith - Steam Engine Mechanic; to the right: Safety helmet with handy gadgets: Antenna, Hinged Googles, Ear trumpet; Cross belt with water refill capsules; adjustable screw wrench. One the left: Clockwork and steam driven Multi Tool; Toll belt; Leather coat; Leather boots

In der letzten Woche angekündigt war außerdem das zweite Kollaborationsbild. Diese erfolgte mit hyeonart von Instagram. Jede*r von uns hat ein Bild zum allgemeinen Prompt „Fireworks“ (🇬🇧) gezeichnet. Legt man beide Bilder aber nebeneinander, entsteht ein neues, größeres Bild. Selbstverständlich habe ich auch diesmal wieder die Erlaubnis, es hier zu posten, hyeonarts Bild findet ihr in groß ebenfalls auf Instagram.

Last week I also announced a second collaboration painting. This one was with hyeonart from Instagram. Everyone did theirs own painting for the general prompt „Fireworks“. But if you put both paintings next to each other, they will become a new painting, a bigger picture. Of course I got permission to share it here but you will find hyeonart’s painting in full size on Instagram, too.

Fireworks

Crissy went to the lake in the park to watch the upcoming fireworks. This time she even did not had to be talked into it. Looking out for a spot aside from the big crowds she met Lynux, a tailor (as she learned to know), and they had a lot of fun.

  • Digital Painting, comic style: Crissy Faith, a young woman with purple hair and big round glasses, seen from side view, sitting in the grass in front of a lake at nighttime, fireworks in the sky. She is wearing her casual clothes: A blue short legged overall, purple and orange striped leggings, toefree boots, a wrench in her back pocket, a pocket watch attached to her side. Between her and the lake are some rows of rocks, on the other side of the lake trees (in the middle and to the right) and some buildings (to the left), reflecting in the water. In the foreground to the left a piece of paper with the letters "Arcryla City Fireworks Fe...l" (the last word not completely readable).

Und dann war da noch ein weiteres Bild für das Sommerfestival, das ich zum Thema „Balloons“ (🇬🇧) eingereicht habe:

Last but not least there were another picture for the Summer Festival, this time for the prompt „Balloons„:

„Chasing Rainbows“

Going on a balloon ride with the person who is able to talk you into literally anything didn’t went as expected for Crissy. She is (slightly) afraid of heights but if your crush suggests to take a ride in this big, colourful balloons, you don’t say „no“.

  • Digital painting comic style: Crissy Faith, a young woman with short, purple hair and big, round glasses, wearing an overall, sitting on the left corner of a the metallic cabin of a gas balloon, the right hand holds on the chains which are holding the balloon. She is peeking nervously over the edge of the cabin. In right corner there is another young woman seen from behind with short ruffled blue-green hair. She is wearing a green and turqoise coursage over a semitransparent shirt, both bellyfree, a skirt of the same style, a chain around her hips and black bracelets and wristband on wrists and neck. She is throwing the left leg in the air behind her (wearing green lace boots) and waving the right hand, holding with the left one onto one of the other chains. In the centre of the cabin is a big kettle, attached to the actually balloon (of green colour). In the background the sky and three other balloons, a purple, a blue and a turquoise one.

– SPOILER –

Amity Knight

  • Digital painting, comic style: Amity Blight, character of the tv show The owl house, purple, hair, black dress, red trousers, seen from the front, a medallion with a descending moon's sickle, holding her staff in the air. She is wearing a round bottle at her belt. On her right side ist floating the form of a sword, purple striped and glowing, lilewise a form of a shield on her left side. Staff and Amity also are glowing. A darker shadow and sparkles hint the way from the bottle to the sword and the shield. The background is of tones from green and dark green

The Spirit of Collaboration

🇩🇪 Die vergangene Woche war in zweierleich Hinsicht bemerkenswert, das Arcryla City (🇬🇧) Sommerfestival betrachtet. Wie letzten Sonntag angedeutet, habe ich an gleich zwei Kollaborationsprojekten gearbeitet.

Eines davon kann ich euch heute hier auch schon präsentieren, das zweite ist zwar ebenfalls bereits fertig, wird aber erst im Laufe der nächsten Woche veröffentlicht. Hierbei handelt es sich um die dritte Haupt-Challenge, deren Ergebnisse gestern im dritten großen Showcase präsentiert wurden.

Dieses fand unter dem Motto „The Spirit of Collaboration“ statt. In diesem Sinne wurden wir in Teams zusammengewürfelt, um gemeinsam an einem Bild zu arbeiten, das unsere jeweiligen Personas zeigt, wie sie miteinander interagieren. Beide sollten zudem mehrere Elemente gemeinsam haben.

Das Bild (🇬🇧) , das ihr hier unten sehen könnt, wurde zusammen mit _.zer0._ von Instagram erarbeitet, die Erlaubnis, es hier, auf Twitter und Instagram zu veröffentlichen, liegt vor:

🇬🇧 Last week was remarkable in the double sense of the word regarding the Arcryla City Summer Festival. As mentioned last Sunday I worked on even to collaboration projects.

One I can show today, the other one is already finished, too, but will be presented only in the course of the next week. The painting I present you today is the one of the third main challenge which already has been presented during the third showcase yesterday.

This challenge’s topic was „The Spirit of Collaboration“. Following this topic we were drawn into teams of twos to work together on one painting which had to show our personas interacting. They also had to have several elements in common.

The painting you can see below is a collab with _.zer0._ from Instagram. I’ve got permission to share it here, on Twitter and on Instagram:

„Bumper Cars“

Before Crissy went to the festival, a friend of hers (yes, the same as who didn’t turn up at the Masquerade Party) talked her into going to the tailor with her to get „some more modern clothes“ and ended buying some quite popular ones and with a pony tail in her hair. While waiting to meet her on the festival, Crissy spottet the Bumper Cars and since she already waited a whole hour she decided to investigate them further. She still was admiring all the rotating, steaming and moving parts as another Citizen, Lilo, bumped into hers.

    No Time For Leisure Time

    🇩🇪 Das Arcryla City (🇬🇧) Sommerfestival dauert an. Der nächste Showcase ist für nächste Woche Samstag angesetzt, das zugehörige Bild ist bereits fertig, kann gewohntermaßen aber erste nächsten Sonntag gezeigt werden. Aber auch ein zweites Bild ist bereits in Vorbereitung.

    Grund genug also, hier nächste Woche wieder vorbeizuschauen. Für den Moment kann ich euch nur so viel sagen: Es handelt sich in beiden Fällen um Kollaborationsprojekte.

    Trotzdem hatte ich auch in der vergangenen Woche noch ein Bild fertiggestellt, diesmal zu dem Sommerfestival Prompt „Leisure Time“ (🇬🇧) – es hat mich mehr Zeit gekostet als ich eigentlich gedacht hatte, doch ständig kamen mehr und mehr Ideen für Details hinzu. Wenn ihr genauer hinschaut, findet ihr übrigens Crissys ausgeschriebenen, vollen Namen:

    🇬🇧 Still the Arcryla City Summer Festival is going on. The next showcase will take place next Saturday. The respective painting already is finished but as usual will be presented next Sunday but there also is another painting in preparation.

    This already are two reason to see you again here next week. For the time being I only can tell you: They both are collaboration projects.

    However, there actually was a painting I finished last week. This time depicting the general prompt „Leisure Time“ – it took more time than expected but the ideas kept coming along during the drawing process. If you look close, you will discover Crissy’s names in full:

    „Heading into Leisure Time“

    Crissy coming home after work. At home she is a little bit chaotic, though.

    • Digital Painting, comic style: A young woman, short purple hair, big round glasses, black/orange striped trousers, leather jacket, orange strapless bellytop beneath, taking off the jacket, a pocket watch dangling from the left sleeve, slipping off boots and purple socks, stumbling over her own boots while standing with the right foot on the left boot's tip, spots of oil and dirt on the clothing and the cheeks. In the background a door with gear and cogwheels and a big lock, on the left a device and a pipe leading to a lamp above the door and a pneumatic post delivery device. On the right on the wall her helmet and belts, on the ground below two pizza boxes and a tool box, covered by her tool belt. Foreground to the left a couch with pillow, the "Arcryla City Steam Magazine" and a purple plush water bear mechanic, to the right an oval desk with a plate of mangoes, an invitation letter, a slate and a piece of chalk. Couch, desk and ground are lightened by three windows.
