Did a background study in Krita based on a screenshot from Cyberteam in Akihabara (1998). I really love the painterly details from retro anime backgrounds, even the little imperfections remind you that humans made it.

A reminder, my website updates before my social medias so if you don't keep track of socials much there's always the RSS feeds: https://pixelglade.net/updatesarchive.html#cyberteam-in-akihabara-study-20250408

My latest artwork is a shinto shrine inspired by the town of Sawara, Japan. Also, the first pixel art I've made in Krita on Linux! I could never get Clip Studio Paint to work with Lutris so knowing I can transfer this workflow is awesome.

A commission I completed for Riley of an apartment balcony scene during a vibrant sunset. Original characters Juno (she/her) and Yuzu (they/them) by Riley Luna (@(@yuzupup on Mastodon). I really enjoyed working on this!
