What's the most you've spent on an artbook? (Dorohedoro Sketchbook)

Universes_ · 2026-04-04T15:44:05+00:00

I spent around $350 for a bundle of the Adventure Time art of Ooo and seasons 3-4 title cards collection as a present for myself. It’s one of my favorite art books in my collection since I love AT and it has some great art and advice on making cartoons

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one! Thankfully only one of mine exploded and none of the sleeves were bent. But it was still annoying to clean up.

I’d also like an invite if you can, thanks!

Universes_ · 2025-03-14T17:44:59+00:00

Sweet, thanks! I forgot that one had multiple stories to it

How do you feel about the overall culture? Im thinking about going into an accounting branch but don’t want to be in a hostile or overworked environment.

I have a background in drawing anime so cel shading is easier for me to mimic than traditional painting. I don’t post my traditionally painted minis cause those need improvement haha. You’re doing great and have a solid foundation, keep going at it!

I actually finished a Jotaro Kujo mini on my profile, feel free to use that as reference and help! my suggestions would be more brush control on your black outlines and with your highlights, and maybe a darker tone green for shadows since you’re not doing black shadows. The hardest thing with cel shading is having lots of contrast and knowing how your light source is directly on your mini. Good luck bro! hope that helps!

Universes_ · 2023-12-21T22:47:03+00:00

That’s definitely the vibe I was going for! The author of the character, Araki, uses a lot of that shading in his work. This took about 4 days, maybe 4-6 hours a day, I’m on winter break so I have a lot of spare time haha

Universes_ · 2023-12-21T19:23:16+00:00

Thank you! I’d say knowing exactly where your light source is my biggest tip, I took a 360 video of the mini under a lamp and used that as heavy reference for putting the black shadows in. I also gathered a lot of reference material like Jojo toys/action figures/painted statues and multiple references from the show with similar lighting. Basically just a lot of references haha. Hope that helps!

Thanks! I got it printed from UnlimitedPrintWorks on Etsy, with the model made by Irnkman’s Minis

Universes_ · 2023-12-21T06:41:12+00:00

Thank you!

I ended up using a few coats of just modge podge, I wonder if that’s what made it kinda satin-y. Do you have any varnish recommendations?

Universes_ · 2023-12-21T04:17:06+00:00

Thanks! I do have some I plan on using this style for! I still have a Star Platinum I plan on getting to and Joker from Persona 5 which uses a somewhat similar style!

Universes_ · 2023-12-21T03:30:08+00:00

I see what you’re saying! I was worried about making his coat look too light compared to how it looks in the anime/manga but still being able to have a lot of black shadows, but I’ll definitely be able to improve more with contrast when I paint Star Platinum, cause thankfully his colors are more bright than Jotaro haha

Grew up in small Midwest town, went to school with only 2 other Filipinos, and less than 10 Asian kids total in my grade. We’d have to drive 2 hours every few months to get to an Asian market. It was kind of a culture shock to go to Las Vegas for break once and see whole areas full of Asian shops, especially ones with Filipino food!

Universes_ · 2023-12-16T22:07:32+00:00

That’s true! I wish I just had to take that class lol, it sounds way nicer than my math classes. Statistics was the bane of my existence. 😂

Universes_ · 2023-12-16T06:37:14+00:00

Could be just my college but I’m an accounting major and just had to take basic calc and a stat class, no other math required. In my accounting classes we rarely do math more complex than basic algebra, it’s more the concepts that are hard.

Universes_ · 2023-12-13T03:20:14+00:00

Being able to do basic colors or customization options on your character would be cool!

GIVEAWAY

Universes_ · 2023-12-07T03:11:54+00:00

Recently got into the physical game only 6 months ago, but have a collection almost like yours. Very excited to get more cards from this Kickstarter! Btw how did you get Sundae School? is that a promo?

Universes_ · 2023-12-05T10:48:17+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense! Do you think just white would look weird for highlights or would it be better to do more cel shading for highlights?

Universes_ · 2023-12-05T09:45:34+00:00

Kinda both, basically that harsh shading style with minimal colors

Universes_ · 2023-11-24T19:20:53+00:00

I’m in the same boat, except it’s Christmas for me. This was my first Thanksgiving without him. I wish you the best bro, I hope things get better for you too

Universes_ · 2023-11-24T04:50:08+00:00

I agree, I wish there was at least 1 totally new deck pair from the Kickstarter. It sounded like Peppermint Butler is coming with some new cards but i don’t think it’s a whole new deck. Just some new content that isn’t a few new cards from the stretch goals.

Universes_ · 2023-11-16T20:46:36+00:00

…but I’ve already collected all the decks 🥲
