Hello!
It's Gin here, self-taught illustrator based in Borneo Island (GMT+8), painting mostly OCs, fanarts, and forever a devoted fan of dragons and their majestic kins.Currently super obsessed with One Piece!"Ginawo" means "love/heart/deep feelings" in my native language of Borneo, something I'd like to dedicate to my new resolution in creating more beautiful and emotionally powerful arts.
"Guren" [紅蓮] simply means "crimson lotus" in Japanese.All-time favorite visual artists:
🌺 Eiichiro Oda
🌺 つよ丸 (Pixiv)
🌺 Aokamei (Instagram)(Twitter)
Frequently-Asked Questions
Q: What tools or programs do you often use?
A: Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Wacom Intuos tablet for digital paintings. Sometimes I use Clip Studio Paint or Medibang as well.
Q: Do you take commissions, art trades, or requests?
Currently no at the moment, I'll let y'all know if I do.
Q: How long does it take for you to finish an illustration?
A: Roughly 2-3 weeks for a detailed artwork. Line-focused piece can be done in just a week.My art process would typically go like this:
1-3 days: Finding inspiration and references, figuring out composition, initial sketching
3-5 days: Line art and flats (depending on complexity)
1-2 weeks: Cel shading and background (also depending on complexity)
Q: I notice that you post mostly fanarts. Do you also draw originals?
A: Yes. I draw original characters for people who request for them through a commission, art trade, or free request box. I draw my own OCs a lot too but rarely post them online, that is until I finish drawing a comic dedicated for them.
Q: Can I use your art? Can I repost your art on social media / other websites?
A: Yes, you may use my art for profile picture and/or header on social media and you are allowed to repost online, but please do credit me (link to my website or social media) whenever you can.However, under NO circumstances you are allowed to use my art for personal gain, that includes selling them as prints, wallpapers, or other merchandises and/or using them in online streaming without my permission.
Q: You seem to have different kind of art styles. Which do you often use?
A: Yes, I have two very distinct art styles:
- Semi-realism (detailed cel shading)
- Line art-focused (simple cel shading with more pronounced line art)Both styles are my favorites. Most of my art from the previous years were made in semi-realistic style but the recent ones are in the latter style. I still paint semi-realistic art when I have the time but at the moment, I'd like to focus more on improving my line arts.
Q: Where did you learn to draw? Do you go to an art school?
A: No. I am a science-based university graduate but I have been drawing since I was in elementary grade and have never stopped learning to draw until today.
