This is my part of an art trade between myself and good mutual on DA.

Note: I’m fine with reblogging, but ask me first for my permission, if you want to repost my artwork.

About the artwork: We both pondered together what kind of artwork we would want from each other and what we would be comfortable to draw. In my case, they eventually settled to request from me Yoruichi x Kamui drawing. (More under the cut.)

As for my theme, it was "dream sequences", while they also mentioned they would like to see some surrealism and "maybe starting transformation for Yoruichi (like tails & ears pop, for example) and Kamui embracing behind her as he says about something on abilities".

After we both had agreed on each other's subjects to draw and theme, we also agreed we could use any media to complete our drawings and there wouldn't be a time limit when completing our parts. It took me quite a long time to finish my part, but even so, I'm happy with how I took my time as I got to try various brushes on this artwork. Not to mention, despite the fact the theme wasn't that hard, I still struggled a bit with what to draw and how to draw the duo.

Once I had sketched both Yoruichi and Kamui, my next biggest 'dilemma' was what color to use for Yoruichi's Shunkō: Raijū Senkei: Shunryū Kokubyō Senki. (Because I had seen two color versions of it and since anime hadn't yet gotten to that part to show her transformation, I was unsure how to color it.) In the end, I settled on a yellow-white color theme with it. When I had that figured out, afterward it was fairly easy for me to work on my artwork until I had to come up with a background. I decided to trust my gut feeling and took a page from various Midsummer's Night Dream paintings to approach the 'dream sequence' and surrealism. Hence, I named this artwork a "Dream painting".

All in all, it was very nice to work on this artwork at rather a gentle pace, as I got to try various painting techniques along with digital brushes when coloring this artwork. It was also nice to challenge myself with a theme when drawing this artwork! I hope my art trade partner will like this artwork as much as I did like to work on this~.

I'm having at the moment a coloring dilemma concerning Yoruichi's Shunkō: Raijū Senkei: Shunryū Kokubyō Senki form.

(Because I recall seeing two color palette versions of her electrical energy, and I can't now decide which color palette to use, so little help?)
