Some sketches I did while I was working on my animated film project in 2018. I was testing for imagery that looks both realistic and abstract at the same time. It is that midpoint where you can still make out the forest, yet there is also enough ambiguity to let you see pure, organic shapes.
Aside from the first one, these didn't make it into the movie. With time constraints, I was unable to do as much as I liked.
I have this image in my head for over 2 years now. I'm glad I could finally find the courage to paint it.
Sometimes the art process takes me nowhere near my own personal look on art.
This particular image started out with me painting a red circle, and continued without my own will. This is how it goes: There is a direct instruction in my head to paint a certain color in a certain shape in a certain place. After I do that, I get the second instruction that may appear very clearly or sometimes rather blurry.
Step by step I follow out this out of nowhere input, and I don’t judge whatever it may be doing. It is as though of I am not creating the image myself, but recreating an already existing image.
When I finish, I am unsure whether I actually like what comes out, since I never included my own taste and interest in it anyway. But I still pay it much respect since it comes from the other side with a reason.
Been listening to…
Very quick sketches of Hikari Club members I drew when I was nostalgic. Drawing them gives me a really strange, dark yet energetic feeling which I enjoy very much.
Drawings of scenes from my animated short film, which you can watch here.
Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the Pain Beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all

This is a real time recording of me improvising to five songs from Nightwish's Imaginaerum, while I am hearing them for the very first time! It was really fun to do, because I was mostly playing without care.
