So I finally finished painting this Oodenta Mitsuyo! The first proper painting for 2025... and it took far longer than I expected since uhm something I forgot to do, some accidents and yeah a little too little natural daylight xD The days are still too short so I mostly can work on these kinds of paintings during the weekends. So this is a semi realistic painting of Musical Touken Ranbu's version of Oodenta Mitsuyo who's played by Raita-san. It's a mixed media painting so you can see a lot of different paints here. The base is watercolour and ink but I also used coloured pencils and acrylics. The wild Yamabuki (kerria japonica) are painted with perlecent paints while the domesticated ones are done in watercolour.

Did it turn out as I wanted? No. Do I like it anyway? Yes. Do I want to try harder next time? Hell yeah x'D

Once more, Happy New Year everyone! I'm starting the year strong with a new favourite Touken Ranbu ship Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide. But hear me out here, when I and some of my friends had our annual online meeting and I started to draw this, there was this plot going on:

Suishinshi brought freshly made Ichigo Daifuku over to Oodenta's store house. Of course the Ichigo Daifuku were made by Kuwana Gou and Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, but Suishinshi is not the type to enjoy sweets on his own and so his first intuition is to go over to Oodenta. Also because his brother Sohayanotsurugi is on a survey mission with Minamoto Kiyomaro. Also it's new year of course so equipped with all those delicious treats and a New Year's decoration which he puts on the Kotatsu in Oodenta's overall cold storehouse, Suishinshi bursts inn and is all sunshine and happy and maybe also a little awkward - still he is little Suishinshi Masahide right?! Not only did they get close on a mission of defeating Taira no Masakado, they also helped Kotegiri Gou to put on a stage play so there's somehow something between them. Probably more details happened than they would admit to others. Just trust me there. Oodenta sees the Kadomatsu and goes on to an (romantic?) attack on Suishinshi because he actually mixes up the custom of kissing someone under the mistletoe on Christmas.

No, we spend not enough thought how this came into action 😂 Also I hate drawing hands so so so passionately much.

So here the summary of my favourite pieces this year - the giant painting of Mikazuki Munechika is not counted here.That has a special place.

For next year I hope again for some progress and of course mor variation and diversity in my art. More combinations of landscape and characters in my art. That would be awesome :3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I still have some 7 hours to go, but anyway :)

The year 2024 is almost over! Well done getting though it! I wish you all a good sliding into the new year of 2025. It's the Year of the Snake and the type of snake is a wood snake for this circle.

This little ink drawing of Hakusan Yoshimitsu might be one of the last pieces this year… when we think of that 2024 is going to die tomorrow :'D

Hakusan Yoshimitsu, a tsurugi made by the swordsmith Awataguchi Yoshimitsu. The tsurugi was once owned by Tokugawa Iemitsu who was wedd to Maeda Mitsutaka. Here, Hakusan is together with his little fox familiar which is also one of the reasons I really like the personification design of Hakusan. But also look at those sleeves okay?

Hakusan is held in the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art and has a length of 34,8 centimetres.

In the Touken Ranbu games and adaptations thereof Hakusan is considered brothers with the Toushirou tantous and also Ichigou Hitofuri although being a little conscious about it. His special abilities is that he can heal damage of other Touken Danshi.

So I made this toatbag using fabric paint to draw on. It was quite unusual to use fabric paints, especially when you use medium for acrylic paints turning then into fabric paint. The fabric paint markers were easier to handle but man that took time.

Oh Look! Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide are walking in the snowy winter wonderland! They also decorated a pinetree they liked instead of taking it in. Why is Suishinshi blushing? Either because he takes Oodenta's hand or because he wasn't interested in Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone and/or Happy Holidays! Whatever you are celebrating and if you're not celebrating anything, please have calm and leisurely days to slow down and velkome the new year in a few days. A huge shoutout to everyone who is working these days. People in service, people in medical and social occupations, all of you who work for making our cozy festive time safer and cleaner. I appreciate your efforts a lot and you are unfortunately not mentioned enough. Thank you for 2024. For all your likes, for all your reblogs for all your comments. Let's walk towards 2025, it's not long to go.

Okay here I go, posting the wintery Koryuu Kagemitsu, wishing all the Saniwa to stay warm. Koryuu has brought little Mistle, a small dragon who wishes you all a cozy festive time.

It's december first! At the same time it is also the first Sunday in advent!! How to celebrate it? With a Touken Ranbu illustations x'D My crack ship Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide are going to celebrate the day in each other's company. And yes, I have to admit I really fell in love with their dynamic in the musicals (also I think they haven't met in the anime ...ever x'D).

The making of this illustation was a hard labor and I tell you, I probably won't do a completely digital illustration again for a while x'D Firstly my computer didn't save the png file correctly and it looked like an accident and the save-file of the WIP was also corrupted and all the work lost which I had done for three hours... So I just used the weird looking png-file and tried to rescue it. This is why this looks like a mess or a horror show x'D

This is just a toatbag painted with fabric paint. I gave this to my friend for her birthday :3

Halloween 2024!

This year's halloween drawing is indeed an interior illustration. However it is a little blurry as my camera on my phone is still very tried x'D However I'm happy with it overall. Nothing special, but well, Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all enjoy it :)

The Chinese lantern plant is one of my favourite flowers... or plants... haha. And for me the bright orange colour gives the perfectautumn vibe. THis is a full watercolour painting :3

Hello friends! I'm finally done with the fiant painting of Mikazuki Munechika on his giant lotus flowers! In Spring, one of my colleagues who was leaving for a new fulltime job gifted me this huge 150 cm x 50 cm canvas with the comment: here, paint something pretty. He also said that there are too few of my own drawings/paintings in my office, so here we go. I started painting this in June and finished it today. Fair enough I do have taken looonger breaks inbetween and I also repainted stuff and oh, there was a lot :P

Here have some detailed shots. I'm also very sorry that my camera on the phone isn't able to catch good photos anymore :/ It's too old for this, I guess. I wished I could take better photos of him, because he really looks more beautiful on canvas x'D

Just for your information - the cresent moon in the sky is also layered with glow in the dark gel, so that means it glows a few hours during the night when it got loaded with sun- or artificial light :3

There is a drawing contest at our local nerd store (the online department) so I was finishing their prompt for "cozy home activities". It's all I like when the weather is showing the typical Western Norway-vibes with heavy rain and storm. Who doesn't like to get cat cuddles while reading? Well, I can just say that I love all of that.

It's fall season and the time of change! There is a family of mushrooms just enjoying the growth until Winter comes. I just really enjoy painting and drawing fall related things. I mean I like Autumn, at least partly because the nature is really getting pretty, but the second half is really... annoying because it's dark and cold and rainy. And I have to go to work by bike, so please :P But yeah it was fun draw this.

[yukimuraruki-art]

It's crispy colourful leaves and pumpkin spice pumpkin season :D So here have a bunch of... Pumpkins!! :D Seriously I say this each autumn: I wanna paint pumpkins and more autumncoloured pieces and never really get to it before fall is over. So here we go :3

[yukimuraruki-art]

Another flower I painted is the Cymbidium Orchid. I loved the colours and just painted it. Since I wanted the focus to be on the biggest flower, I blurred the two smaller ones with more fuzzy effects :D Or at least... I tried x'D
