    Nian

    あけましておめでとう！/ Happy new year!

    I may be late to say this but, once again, Happy new year!

    My older sister bought me a book about Japanese folk tales as a Christmas gift. I started trying to teach myself how to speak Japanese last year, so I am very glad that she bought this book for me. Although teaching myself is very difficult, I will still try my best.

    This drawing of Nian was supposed to be done last month, but I only managed to finish it now. Coincidentally, 2024 is the year of the dragon! I didn't know that before starting this drawing but it's nice that I managed to finish it this year.

    I tried applying some new techniques this time. I hope you may like it.

    I don't know why the preview/thumb on this one sucks, the full-size looks better.

    This image is 16-bit and HDR. I recall other 16-bit (potentially also HDR) images breaking in the same way. Interestingly, this effect also looks very similar to trying to play HDR media on a non-HDR display in a "dumb" (i.e. with something like VLC) way.

    Edit: post #6881939 and post #6549762 are other examples, both are SMPTE ST 2084 16-bit images.
