Ngl, not enough people talk about the backgrounds in anime
Now of course, every now and then there will be discussions (in particular if it’s like a popular anime), however, for the most part they go unfocused on. And I mean, I get it of course [they are backgrounds so outside of setting shots the major focus won’t typically fall on them even in the actual series (usually*, there are exceptions tho)]. But SO many anime have such beautiful and GORGEOUS backgrounds
Like, take Toilet Bound Hanako Kun for example !!
These backgrounds??? 😶❤️❤️
There’s also the anime Sugar Apple Fairy tale !
[Half the time I was either staring at the pretty characters or the pretty backgrounds lol. I love how the backgrounds all look like watercolors!!]

au where ianto survived coe and teamed up with john to chase after jack and gwen in miracle day and somehow (john's fault) ended up breaking the law in la
i know i'm super late to this meme but a week ago i was chatting with some friends infodumping about these two and explaining why john is a girl to me and then i called ianto "my boy" and one of my friends said "don't you mean your girl?" and i was like "no that's the other one. my boy and my girl" and my friend was like "like barbie and ken" and this image was beamed directly into my brain shutting down all other thought processes and i just had to sit there for a while making noises like a wounded animal so uh. here it is
Traditional paiting of a sunlit patway in the forest. I used watercolors to create the base and added the smaller details with colored pencils and oil pastels. I hope you like it!
Different anon from the watercolor style ask: I see BNF Azi being one of thems that hunts down pigments and makes his watercolors from scratch, another reason it takes so long. You can make really good paints from natural pigments and sources but the mixing is key and needs to be methodical. Def fits, IMHO. Natural pigments can be vibrant, but look very different from synthetic colors. I can see him leaning in that direction.
THANK YOU. look me in the eye and tell me this isn’t aziraphale
