Final fantasy 9 is the one game I could never quite move on from. I've played it so many times since I was a child and it still holds up for me.

Congrats and thanks for the artshare! 🙌

Here are some of my favourite recent pieces!
Digital painting of a level crossing in Tokyo at night. A train is rushing by as a woman is waiting to cross. A painting of a desk with an open notebook, illuminated by a desk lamp. There are pens, books, boba tea, pictures, plants and other small items on the desk and the shelf above. Outside the window the sky is dark blue, the sun has just set and the last light has gone Digital painting of the entrance to a Don Quijote shop in Shibuya. A colourful fishtank is seen in the foreground and many people walk around A digital painting of a small religios site of some sort in Tokyo. There are rocks placed as if to build a little shrine, and lemons are placed around

I get the feeling this will be one of those paintings that loose all movement when I start cleaning it up

Tried to use less blending today to see how that plays out and if that makes these go any quicker (it does!)

#PleinAirpril #pleinairpril2025 #art

The Sensōji looked super festive lit up in the evening. Very touristy, but still very worth seeing

#PleinAirpril #art
Digital painting of Sensōji Temple in Asakusa Tokyo. The sun has just set and the multi-story red gate with a giant lantern glows as it's lit up by spotlights. A crowd of people are walking towards the gate and passing under the big lantern

Some of Tokyo's restaurants have the coolest designs. This one had Hanafuda inspired signs on the outside.

From a temple next to a lake. I love the red colour of the wood and the pattern the roof beams create

#PleinAirpril #art
Digital painting of a japanese temple building. The view is slightly upward, revealing the lattice structure of the underside of the roof. The wooden building is painted red, which looks bright in the warm sunlight

A difficult one today, as there were just sooo many tiny shapes. It feels like I left out a million small bits, but overall I think I got the vibe of a busy Tokyo street with dozens of neon signs left, right and center.

I love seeing these little shrines in the middle of residential or commercial neighborhoods in Japan. The smaller size makes it feel more connected to it's surroundings to me.

#PleinAirpril
Digital painting of a small shrine in a Tokyo neighbourhood. There are red banners in front and the inside of the shrine is visible through a small door

Today's painting is of a ramen restaurant. I really crave good ramen these days. The options for soup bases and toppings are phenomenal in Japan, in the West you can only find the basic stuff most of the time

#PleinAirpril #art #backgroundart
Digital painting of a woman standing in front of a ramen shop in Tokyo. The shop is entirely yellow and stands out in the early evening lighting

There's a sort of indoor marketspace in Tokyo with lots of different restaurants. It's an indoor space but made to look like an outdoor market. Very cool (though we managed to pick a not so great restaurant in there 😅)

#PleinAirpril #art
Digital painting of a crowded restaurant space with tables and a two-story building. There are lots of red lanterns that give off a warm glow.

When I walked through the Tokyo neighbourhood close to my hotel, I found this temple where a wedding was going on. Didn't dare to get close, but was really cool to see

#PleinAirpril
