Awesome! Always good to take on the challenge of something you haven't done before! Always loved how colorful he is as well

Batman is next!
I'm so happy you like it! The clouds were my favorite part.

But then again! I like doing fun bright cheery stuff!

Yay, can't wait to see it! I was wondering how you did them cause clouds always give me trouble

(Oh, btw, you should draw Spidey too, hehe

In Paint tool sai, I use the airbrush/brush/water color tool, and set it as 'spread' and that's how you get that soft look that's perfect for clouds.
I start with the airbrush, mix the colors up with the brush, and use the water color tool to smooth it all out.

Thank you so much for the tip! I remember doing clouds at work once and going back for multiple revisions. At one point my boss told me the looked like intestines, lol! Been fooling around with painter, I might see if I can achieve the effect in a similar manner there

I've wanted to for years and we finally have a copy! I love the idea of using squishy media digitally, muahaha!
