The hip-hop beats and layered, electronic soundscapes she created with her equipment was mesmerizing. After the show she stayed and talked with some of her fans, including my friends and I and was available to sign copies of her debut album Midnight Menu which, together with her recent release, Boom (released by Analogue Monsta - the combination collaboration between Suzi Analogue and TOKiMONSTA) were both available for purchase at Fresh Cafe for the fan-friendly price of $10.
I had such a good time and enjoyed the music so much that I decided to paint a picture based off one of the photos I took at the show using Painter12. This is the result. The hardest part was getting the glowing neon colors to sit well with the dark hues that make up the complimenting shadows those neon lights were casting. That and getting her face right at this angle (still not completely satisfied with that, but she does look Korean at least).
Anyway, this was one of the first portraits I've done in Painter12 and I thought it worked pretty well. The oil brushes definitely feel more real than in photoshop, but there are a few silly things about Painter too that, one would think, after 12 generations would have gotten fixed - c'est la vie.
