Guys,

Got a Ju Ying starter pack yesterday, it was a deal and I couldn't resist x)
Now I want to paint the domaru butai in a Japanese blossom theme. Where in the 'official' theme they have blue glowing lights and eyes etc. I'm going to use pink.
The question is how I should paint the white next to the pink I would want to use.

When I see Aleph using pink colours, their light clothing is a brown white, but I really like the crispy white from the domaru. Is there anyone with some knowledge of colours who can help me?

I'll also post this in P&M, but since it's also Infinity related =)


Bright white vs muddy white (next to the domaru ^^)

And ofcourse the inspiration:

I think you can pull it off with a bit of freehand. Look at kimono patterns with sakura on them or even pop art designs. I did some Asian-inspired Odalisques based on Cheongsam and Kimono patterns and they look like this:




Hope that helps!

Freehand is definitely something I want to try, but it's mainly the white I'm concerned. Should I just use white, or a coloured white?
Btw your work is amazing :3
