That is the hard part..I wish I could just think it out….
Yeah, me too. But on the other hand the writing can be fun on those moments when it flows effortlessly... Which, of course, are not the most usual moments. :)
Lalli looks to me like a fisherman in storm gear with a sword for pirate effect.
And now that you pointed it... His hair looks wet, and there is the hood, and the tall boots... Maybe he could be and oriental pirate? So... Captain La Li? :D
(BTW some quite interesting and relatively short reading about that topic: https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/some-notes-on-japanese-pirates/ )

Hello denizens of the forum, I was told by someone on the discord server that someone did a drawing of the ssss crew as magical girls, would anyone happen to have a link to that at all?

And now, the real reason I came here: to share some art from the French fandom. Both pieces are on tumblr: here is "Steampunk Emil and Lalli" and here is "Lalli suffering from Hanahaki" (which, I believe, is a manga affliction in which one coughs up flower petals when around one's crush).

So, some Emilalli vibes. Possibly. Although, the crush could be Sigrun, or the Posti lady, or anyone.

Hey tehta, the Hanahaki-one is lovely, but the other link doesn´t seem to work for me. There might be something wrong with the formatting? :)

That airship is gorgeous! I can just see them in a steampunk setting.

I love all this art work!!!

tehta, the color choice for the sky behind the air ship is excellent! And using purple in the modeling of the shadows on the balloon is a beautiful touch!

I have a question for all of you wonderful artists out there.

I used to paint and draw a long time ago in a different unniverse.

From looking at all of the wonderful art, I'd like to try again.  Though I would probably want to use my tablet to do so (ipad)

Can someone recommend free (or at least cheap) tool I can down load to try?  If possible, something easy for me to pick up.  I downloaded one that seemed nice (sketchbook), but i am having trouble with it.

I don´t draw with a tablet, but a Youtuber I follow, LavenderTowne, made a review of free tablet-tools a while ago. From her review of free Computer-programs I got the tool I use to this day and am quite happy with. Maybe you´ll find some good recommendations there or in the comments. :)

Mirasol,
Thank you.  I shall see if I can find the posts.

dmeck7755, I'm so excited for you that you're wanting to take up painting and drawing again!

I've been drawing my whole life, and thankfully my day job is in the graphic design field, so I get to keep my skills up.

For any kind of project where I don't have the time to let paint to dry, I draw/paint digitally. My go-to program is actually Clip Studio Paint, the same program that Minna uses. Seeing her work put me onto it years ago, and it's great! It can be had for around $50. There's a more complicated version with a bunch of webtoon and animation-related features that's more expensive, but I'm using the cheaper version and it has everything I need for illustration.
Clip Studio Paint website

Since you have an iPad, the obvious choice would be Procreate. I've seen some of the most beautiful digital paintings made with this program, and it's apparently super-easy to use. If I used Mac products, I would have this program right now! The basic version is free, and I've seen prices for the pro version that are between $2 and $10. Given the work I've seen, I am SURE it's worth it!
Procreate website

A free digital drawing app that I've used in the past is one called Krita. This app has many tools that directly mimic physical art tools - pens, markers, brushes, sponges, odd textures, etc. I recommend this one highly as well. Procreate may be easier to learn (from what I hear), but Krita has many of the same functions as Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop, at least as far as drawing/painting goes.
Krita website

I wish you the best of luck in your rediscovered hobby! We would be thrilled to see any of the work you're doing in the forum's art museum!
