While the Wednesday afternoon gently fades, a young girl starts her journey home from a visit with her grandparents. Their small village whispers farewell, before the train soon reveals the city's lights in the distance, and the countryside blends into the vibrant urban pulse of her daily life. — Japan Days 6 - Homeward Wednesday
Japan Days is finally back! It’s one of my own favorite series - well, to be honest, every artwork I make is somewhat special to me. But undeniably, Japan Days is one of those that helped most shaping my art style and storytelling approach. And over the last 3 years, it documents my artistic progress and development.
The art process
For those of you who like to dive deep into my process of making these artworks and animations, I have two livestream recordings on YouTube. In the first one, I get into working with Affinity Designer (an app I tried out for the first time when working on Homeward Wednesday):
In the second one, I show you my animation workflow with Procreate and After Effects:
The auction
Now for those of you who like to collect and own 1/1 art, Homeward Wednesday is on auction on SuperRare, starting now! The auction will go for 7 days, and the collector will not only receive the digital artwork, but also a 1/1 signed print!
I hope you like this part of the Japan Days series!
One more thing: if you’re at NFT Paris next week, let’s meet up! I bring some stickers, so just send me a DM on Twitter or tag me on Discord if you’re around 😉.
Cheers!
