momizi

WIP I guess. I've always liked the Japanese maple leaves and the mountain scenery in Japan.
I think sideways single would be ok.

crowds

i super like how tight and cluttered buildings in some area of japan, and when it lights up at night its like a different world.
the final will be in b/w pencil with maybe little digital touch-ups if i want to emphasize the lights (...i hope doing b/w is okay). also not sure if it's good enough for 2 page spread, will see how it turns out. suggestions welcome~

tanabata

my wip is the crappiest thing ever lol.
anyways, I'm planning on doing a picture on my favorite holiday in Japan, tanabata :) the colors of the bg is slightly faded off or else the sketch would be hard to make out.
crits welcome.

Okonomiyaki

Hello there.
I've finally come up with a WIP, so here it is. The guy's pose is bothering me, damn foreshortening...
Crits welcome

Idea

This was just an idea that I carried out a little further than I wanted to; I really wanted to paint an onsen, but I'm having second thoughts now. This is a father bathing his son before going in the onsen? It needs a background but I will probably try out a bunch more compositions and ideas before settling. What are your thoughts on this one?

Shrine concept/thumbnail

Hey everyone! Here's my concept thumbnail. Not sure if I want to do this as a landscape 8.5x11 or a two page. Thoughts?
