A friend suggested I try out something Art Nouveau and I not only thought of Kingdom Hearts, but also that I’m very bad at moderation and that I was going to do a lot on this.
This ended up being way more blue than I originally expected. I didn’t want to copy the Blue/White color scheme of Sora’s Dive so I tried mixing in some red, but ended up not liking it. While adjusting some of the blues I found I liked the brightest color I had added and decided to keep it.
It was already an adventure trying to draw me in my own style, which took several tries to get something I was even remotely satisfied with. And since part of the original suggestion was to make a piece with my moths, I decided to incorporate my own character as well as other from games I’ve played the impacted me in some way.
So I’ve got Journey, really just a beautiful game and one that I think about all the time. Persona 5, with Morgana taking a nap (cause of course, he needs sleep). Transistor ended up right in the middle, a game I still get emotional over years later. Ori and the Blind Forest, anybody who knows me knows that I love this game and consider it one of the best games out there. Bottom slot goes to my moth Wynton.
All the games are some of the only games I would rate a 10/10. There’s one more, but I wasn’t about to draw more people, I already made a basic design for a keyblade (inverted music note, Wynton’s color scheme, snowflake charm since I like ice).
There’s really just a lot of small and big symbolism in this piece, but I’m already putting an artist rendition of myself out into the world I’m not about to reveal more than what I’ve already said.
Today is a legendary day, because I finally attended a cosplay competition with my long time friend Lunatar Cosplay . It was fun, even though there where some trouble because we lost my dress before the convention and had to make a new one quickly! But we managed to finish the dress and everything came out okay.
It was so cold outside that I forgot to put the other yellow floaty thing on the sword. At least I also have pics where it is attached from another photoshoot.
I love Red and I’m going to cosplay her several times this year. <3
Did a sketch by request for some of my students to celebrate their dedication and hard work this term. #Transistor . . . #mkmatsumoto #michaelmatsumoto #digitalart #sketch #instaart #red #videogames (at Los Angeles, California)
