nabiki tendo fanart illustration

finished this one, i had some complications like i couldn't get poster color paint in my country and customs didn't let enter them from japan, so i had to improvise with other brand the thing is that with poster color you get really opaque colors, hard to do with others so did the best i could with the background

also as a tip if you decide to do cel coloring, when doing the color combinations think that once fully dry it will look far darker than when you were painting, and don't use the paint too thick, it needs to be slightly liquified because if isn't it will sweep the black ink , and also try to do everything on a single cel not 2 layers because if you do 2 and press them down it will do some humidity or grease dirt that is hard to get rid once photographed (nothing will pass with the physical ones), and you need to be extremely careful with dust and do not use a brush to wipe the dust it will scratch the acetate and in the photo they will be visible, use soft dust remover made with feathers, or use an air can each time you handle the cels

and last i will try to do something about it, is hard to photograph acetates you need to be careful with light distance and angles, if not reflections will mess the shot, i had to improvise but i recommend to do an animation rostrum diy or try to improvise doing the same mechanic as the rostrum (which i did hahaha), and use a super dark environment

i had to do some color and light correction digitally the rest is the same

i truly learnt lots with this piece, and even that it took lot of days to finish i enjoyed working on it every minute lol, love traditional work, hope someone commission me for something similar in the future, i bet i will do better

will share full sized later
