Radiant Photoshop: Mirai Fan Art
Sat 2009/11/07 06:13 JST
Well, it’s Friday again, but instead of a figure photoshop this week, I decided to do a fan art of Mirai. Hot off the press, just finished 10 minutes ago, radiantdreamer brings the latest news to you!
Like my art? Have some questions about how it's done, or the techniques I use? Ask away!
And there's always more of my art on my blog.
Very very sweet pic of Mirai <33 Your art is so lovely, I love the way you color!
Thanks! The youtube video is up now, if you want to watch how I color this piece. :)
I love your artwork. I always enjoy viewing your posts.
Thanks! I'm glad I'm able to create things you can enjoy! ^_^
Awesome, will have to pilfer this to my hard drive once I get hoem =)
ha ha the way you say it makes it sound like a bad thing! ^_^
I'm a sneaky sneaky bastard xD
just watched the video (couldn't earlier since teh youtubes are blocked at work ><) and I must say that you are amazing! HUGE PROPS!! Σd(>口<)
XD Thanks very much!!
Though I'm a little sad that Danny hasn't commented yet. :(
It's already the second most popular post now! =_=
Beautiful, wonderful, marvelous, etc! Love the artwork and the video
Thanks! (etc)?
etc. = et cetera

Forgot to say, very nice work. One of my favorites of Mirai
Thanks! Et Cetera is a manga too! :D
Mirai looks great! i like how you make the progression videos for each project, very interesting and educational! ^^
Thanks! I used to take snap shots and explain each snap shot, but that took way too much time, and didn't really show anything "in action", so "video diary" of my works is probably going to be a routine thing from now on. (and you can spot my mistakes in the videos too! ^_^;)
RadiantDreamer ROCKS :D love it man
lol! I love you too. :D
The pose somewhat looks familiar... but either way she looks good! Almost like a water paint.
hee hee it's a common pose. With so many anime illustrations and works out there, it's bound to look like something else. :P
Gorgeous!!!
After seeing the video, I think we are seeing the work of an artist
*blush* thanks! ^________^
No no!!! Thanks to you... for show us your great work!!!
^^ I will continue to provide, then!
I feel like I can really appreciate the art after watching the video. Mirai looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure Danny would be proud. :D
Thanks much! I hope Danny likes it too! :D
Brilliant!!
thanks!
Looks good. Good work.
Thankq!
W this thing!
W for Warm....because when I stare at it too long it gives me a warm sensation....^^
A warm sensation? ha ha! Is it a warm sensation in your heart? doki doki!
>:3c Wow Good work chief!
Can't get the hang of having that much color shades and the water/airbrush feel :D.
Interesting, i have lots to pick up >w<. A lot more :3c
And, yeah, i'll get back to doing that alternate dark style i have put on hiatus before T_T.
Thanks! Good luck with your work! ^_^
Nice. I was surprised to see that you only used 4 layers. Usually I will end up with 50+ layers.
Actually, it's not "really" 4 layers. I used one sketch layer, and then a base color layer. I duplicated those two and merged them into one layer and hid the rest. So I'm essentially doing one layer.
I typically use about an average of 10-15 layers for my work, so this was more of a fun experiment.
Wow, great job, Mirai looks so sweet and pretty. I love your work!
thanks! I had trouble deciding what sort of facial style I wanted Mirai to have - cute and bubbly, or sweet and gentle? In the end I went with sweet and gentle, since the lighting and everything seemed to call for that sort of mood.
Always like your work.
I love The shirt creases around her oppai. And yes, drawing long hair to your right hand side is difficult, when I draw on a paper, I usually turn the paper upside down to draw that part ^^
You noticed! ^_^
I'm starting to like drawing clothes a lot. It's fun to do! And yeah, hair thing is hard to draw going the other way. Plus flipping the canvas helps you see things from a different perspective and pick out your flaws to fix! :)
Haha, it looks like those water/oil-based painting you see in art museum. Great job!
thanks! a lot of it has to do with the brush type. If anyone wants to know - it's hard brush round 0 spacing with shape dynamics minimum 0 value, opacity between 50% to 75%, 100% flow, airbrush turned on.
Oh yeah, those brief half seconds where I zoom out, and pause, that's when I stop and massage my hand because it hurts. ^_^;
Just like a real art paint eh..Tip..massage your hand about 5-10 minutes (or depend as you like).Don't wash hands when feel unwell..
^_^ Thanks for the tip!
With the playback rate, I basically massaged my hand for 15-30 seconds every so often.
I don't understand "Don't wash hands when feel unwell..." ?_?
i know that,it happen to me when working job & got massage myself (streching) then i wash it, the effect is hurt & numb a little.
For instant recovery "Hand spa", Lukewarm water+one Spoon Salt..then massage it than going to a massage service,instant WHOA!! ^|||^
ooooh! That sounds pretty good! I will try that next time. Just thinking about it sounds so comfortable! ^///^
Beautiful work! I wish I could do stuff like this, thing is I don't have much talent for art. Haven't been to figure.fm much but ever since I saw your work with the GSC moka figure I think I've become your new fan, love your work! and will also be visiting your blog \(^o^)/
Thanks very much, memoriesoffaddict! It's people like yourself that keep me going and doing what I love to do. I love to share my work with people, and it makes me feel very happy that I'm able to give you guys something fun to enjoy!
Wow, gorgeous work man, great style you've got...
...I hear you on the hurting hand thing too, I figure when after every stroke you're having to stretch and shake your hand a bit then it's time to go do something else for half an hour (says the man with an RSI in his right index finger ^^;)
Thanks! I'm still trying to get a style that I can be satisfied with. I think I need to try harder. ^^;
Definitely gotta take breaks more often. I was so focused on painting this that I didn't realize I missed breakfast! It was near lunch and I was like "I feel a lot hungrier than usual... why is that? ooooh..."
Haha: headache, faintly ill feeling... forgetting to eat, been there, done that too oddly enough I never forget to caffinate myself though =P My personal favourite however is: "wait a second, why is it dark?" or more usually "wait a second, why is it light?"
As for finding a style you like: it'll come, I honestly don't think there's any reason to force things, just change it up as you go along trying new stuff. To be honest though I tend to view styles as an evolving thing, in that there'll always be something you feel you can do better. Just go with the flow :D
Thanks, you're right. Style does sort of develop naturally. I guess I'm just not happy with my current style at the moment. ^_^
Yeah, I've had that happen to me a few times where I look outside and thought "oh, it's still dark out" when it's gone from morning to night already. ^_^
I think this has to be my favourite piece of Mirai fanart that I've seen yet, truly amazing work. ^^ I hope I can become as good someday ^^;
wow thanks! being your favorite piece of Mirai fanart makes me very happy! I like your photos. Your cat is very cute. :3
another great work :)
thanx! :D
Nice artwork ^_^ I love seeing fan made artwork on here ^_^ Makes me sooo jealous.
Thanks! why jealous?
Wow, that's incredible. I really appreciate being able to see the process at work. Really kinda pushes home that I need to have more patience when trying to learn to draw. ^^;
Thanks! I'm glad that you are inspired by it! ^_^ Gambatte!
Very nice. ^ ^
I had never thought that you can take parts off and proportion them in Photoshop. :P
Great work! I'm very late hijacking this.
oh hey Danny!
Thanks! I'd be honored! ^^
Can't help it but got almost the same awesome pose of Alicia Florence PVC figure made by GSC/Max Factory
Yup! I used her as reference! :D
