Acrylic gouache painting + small review
Sakuma painting I just finished + WIP of him and an older Hiroto I've been wanting to post but I don't have a complementary piece to post him with. More talk under read more
Supplies used:
Holbein acryla gouache set curated by Rebecca green
Art Philosophy gouache (underpainting only)
Daler Rowney and Lyra synthetic brushes
Makeup brushes I no longer use for makeup purpose but performed better than my painting ones
I'm practicing painting again. This time using the Holbein Acryla Gouache set I bought for my birthday this January. I got myself acrylic gouache than regular gouache because my painting style is closer to acrylic and oil's than watercolors' (I'm really not good with watercolor)
Holbein's acrylic gouache performed really well so far. I love how opaque the paints are except for the gold color. I think it should serve a different purpose, like say, for glazing, than the opaque paints.
One complain I have for the Holbein arylic gouache is how quick they are to dry and the stickiness of it, so I had to pick more paint and use a bigger brush to fill a big area. I read a review that the Liquitex paints are less sticky and I wanted their set but they're too expensive in my country (Indonesia)
I really wanted to try the dry brush technique and I'm glad I did it pretty well on the left Sakuma painting. I rely on it to create color transitions because of how the colors laid previously show under the dry brushed paints. Honestly it's not that different than my digital art style where I keep brushing to create a feeling of gradient. Speaking of which it was a painting of this frame but I chose the wrong colors so the vibe ends up different lmao
The Sakuma on the right was rushed because I got too tired to continue further so he looks wonky with muddy colors. He's still my son even if he's a bit fugly. But yeah I had so much fun with this piece, I'm planning to do more traditional arts from now on, maybe I will try soft pastel too? Perhaps

teikokus entries from the all players directory 👍 swag
I always have been associating Kidou and Sakuma with eyes motifs but I was reminded of an interview saying that Fudou's eyes are expressive, so maybe eyes is a Penguin Trio and Teikoku thing? probably. But yes you can watch in the anime that Fudou's emotions are stored in his eyes.
And I'm very glad they still keep it in GO movie!! I had a discussion with @pinyacoladas about his eyes and if one looks closely they're drawn differently that when he was younger to make him less freaky.
GO!Fudou have longer, more oval shaped irises and his eyeliner game isn't as strong as baby Fudou's (as in the lineart for his eyes are thinner than young Fudou's are)
My guess on why are Fudou's eyes so expressive? From shape psychology theory perspective is:
Fudou's eye shape and eyebrows are triangle-like. In shape theory triangles symbolize movement, motion, and energy compared to rectangle and circle. His eyebrows are short and thin making them easy to notice even on GO!Fudou when he has full bangs. For see more closely one can watch the clip above and compare Fudou and Kazemaru's eyes as Kazemaru has round eyes and longer eyebrows
Fudou's design change in GO with longer iris and thinner lineart softens his expressions. I'm guessing this has to do with the smaller negative space it creates too but I don't have enough knowledge on it atm. He still does the shrinking iris thing as an adult though lol (on clip)
Not the same expression but the eyes are drawn in the same manner
Kisaku for my bi-monthly ship art quota. I wanted to draw another piece to be posted together but I've been physically burnt out lately so I made a no Kidou goggles file instead. Heh
This doubles as a character analysis art so I will write down my thought process under a read more. It's very christian so if you're not comfortable it's okay to not read it
I had been having the idea of making a Kisaku art with christian imaginery since early January, but I only managed to sketch a good composition for it last week.
This art is based on a post-Shin Teikoku arc scene that's also one that's very memorable for me. Like, it's just a very tender and profound one, especially when one can see Kidou's hand holding Sakuma's tighter after Sakuma told him he can't shake his hand. I also referenced the scene when Sakuma faints right before the match end whistle.
Another thought that inspired this was the christian concept of being saved from sin and its consenquences by Jesus' death and resurrection (salvation); which is pretty much what happened to Sakuma in this arc. Sakuma fell to the temptation of the aliea meteorite (sin), but it's Kidou's love that saved him from destroying himself physically and mentally (salvation).
An interesting part from Shin Teikoku arc was that while it ends with Sakuma and Genda being saved, Kidou came out becoming even more traumatized especially after seeing what happened to his friends and hearing Kageyama's words. And that's without mentioning that he also witnesses Someoka's sacrifice.
Kidou and Sakuma are two people who feel deeply yet tenderly for each other so I wanted it to show in the colors and rendering. I used colors that could remind someone of the dawn. I wanted to color in low contrast but the initial palette hurt my eyes (physically) so I ended up opting with shading with only highlight, with the soft light peeking through behind the pair. Subtlety was all I was aiming, so I tried to draw Kidou's expression that could express it too.
The text on the background is,
What is Salvation? Salvation is... to be saved from sin, and its consenquences from death, and eternal separation by your cross.
The text was thought and written by stream of consciousness, unlike the drawing where I worked on it precisely unlike my usual drawing style. Initially I wrote it by hand to see where should I type the text but I found that handwriting conveys the emotions in a rawer form so I went with it.
I also free style-ed the text's content because NGL, scrolling through christian articles and wikipedia pages gave me religious trauma based anxiety so I let my instinct and write whatever came to mind.
I was torn between "crucifix" and "cross" as I wanted a word to replace "love and suffering". I went with "cross" because crucifix is used to specifically refer to the cross Jesus was crucified on and the portrayal of it. For people, the word used is "cross" (referring to the christian concept of carrying one's cross). Kidou is very much associated with pedestalism, even Kageyama saw him in an idealized manner of a perfect creation to bring him back to his childhood. But despite everything Kidou is only human, and he's as sinful everyone else.
I had so much fun working with this piece, and I think I'm more satisified than I was with my previous character analysis art. I hope I could do more of this type of works in future.

The chances of Kidou adopting as an adult (when he's above 30yo hopefully) is 97% by the way. Even if he can get or already have a biological child.
Even more likely scenario: he would adopt siblings TOGETHER
Musing about Sakuma being a psychology or any kind of social studies major.. he would want to study more about people and behaviors out of not wanting to repeat his mistakes in S1 era and so that no children will go thru the same thing ever
Thank you for tagging me! They're very cute T___T
David: *hugs Jude for the first time*
Jude: What was it?
david: a hug? *breaks away*
jude: Dave you know I don't like human contact
David: okay sorry I won't do it again...
Jude: Never said you shouldn't do it again! *hugs him like a koala*
David: *gay panic* okay...

Waaahhh thank you so much for tagging me they're very very precious I love them... T_____T💜🩵 I don't know how to describe him but I love the way you draw Sakuma's nose in the expecting tongue part lol they're both so lovely in your style
The bit of Kidou liking it when Sakuma gets angry at him always makes me laugh every time even tho I had seen it in the DMs before LMAO
I really like the thought of Kidou being down bad for Sakuma. He's a person who is as motivated by love as many others in the show, and added with the comfort level he has with Sakuma he would be as affectionate as Sakuma is to him especially in adulthood. That aside I just love the idea of Kidou being a wifeguy (gender neutral) haha
Kisaku meal is served
I like the impassible at work and professional settings to down bad trope, I think it’s funny
I’m a bit exaggerating cause like, I know Kidou is literally this emoji🧍♂️but since I saw @fraybury ‘s post about him being comfortable with Sakuma giving him physical affection it wouldn’t be crazy to think he’d like it more the older he gets and even giving back when he finally gets that stick out of his bootyhole 🙏

Nothing analysis important from this clip I just wanting to point and giggle at idgaf warriors Sakuma and Rika not reacting at Endou nor Megane (Kidou's double head turn is also silly)
my ass forgot to post a version with Kidou's glasses off
kisaku for christmas
Very cute observation I've gotten is how physically affectionate Sakuma is with Kidou and Kidou not minding it because, Sakuma isn't as overly affectionate with the others.
Sakuma cares for the other members and is on friendly terms with them, but he's more lowkey displaying his affection than he does with Kidou.
Episode 94, after Endou gives a speech to the team after he and penguin trio were away and Inazuma Japan lost their match against Argentina's team.
Episode 96, everyone is raising their hand as they're sending Kurimatsu away. You can look closely that Sakuma isn't raising his hand and is doing the same crossed arms pose Fudou does.
As for Kidou, Everyday hints that he doesn't really like to be touched with him frowning whenever he is tapped by the player (Clip 1) (Clip 2) (It's so funny because everyone else smiles when tapped). While it is possible that he grows to become more accustomed to it, he's still awkward especially with sudden contact, lol
Going back to the first pictures I've shown, this is really one of my favorite Kisaku official arts... it's very sweet when one thinks about Sakuma's body language, he's hunching to Kidou's level as he's considerably taller than him, aww
Endou and Kazemaru in those outfits and chibis everyone and their mom poked fun at
(wonky quality because my hand started aching mid drawing, sorry)
