Teams Art Dump

Hello Greenies!

It's Nikolai again and welcome to today's blog!

#TeamSolo

#OnlyOneOfTeam

#ToMoonTeam

I had the idea to make one blog that would act as a solo blog for all of the amimo teams that I'm apart of! As you can see above by the hashtags, I'm a part of the soloists team, the OnlyOneOf team and the ToMoon (Oneus) team! I didn't know at first how I could incorporate all these teams into one blog, but then it hit me that I could make an art dump blog but with pieces made inspired by the artists I'm in teams for! I've made two for each team, so six in total. Without further ado, here are the art pieces I made for each one of my amino teams!

All of these pieces were created by me. Please do not repost or claim any of these as your own. Please do not save any of these to your device either. Art theft is wrong and unfair to all parties involved.

~Enjoy~

Solo Team Pieces

So since team solo is for solo artists and not one particular group of people, I chose two of my favorite soloists to make pieces for!

Advice by Taemin

I kid you not this piece was made the DAY this comeback dropped, I was instantly so inspired by the song, the music video, and of course the cover of the album. That being said, I drew my color pallette from the cover, using only black, white, red, and gray. This song is very elegant but also very explosive at the same time, if that makes sense XD My vision focused more on the explosive nature and this piece kind of took on an energy of its own. I laid down the base of Chinese text and sheet music that I stained grey but honestly you can barely see it under everything else. I put down pieces of black tissue paper here and there to add more texture and create some contrast. Next came the fun part: breaking out the paint! I used black and white and made grey and used all three of those to splatter and create lines and roughness all over the piece. I broke out the black, silver and red glitter glue and made lines all over as well. I finished it off with using red to accent everything as well as paint the lyrics "best take my own advice". Then I came back with the red glitter glue and added vertical lines to some of the text and added my coat of arms. I really love this piece and every time I listen to this song, I see this page in my mind, so I guess that means I did a pretty good job lol.

Materials used: sheet music, Chinese text paper, black tissue paper, black ink; black, white and red acrylic paints; black, silver and red glitter glue.

Like Water by Wendy

This song is like the antithesis to Blue by Lee Taeyong for me. I wanted to do a full spread for this piece since it's just such a beautiful song and it really means so much to me, it felt only proper. I wanted to stick to my maximalist style while also have some simplicity, so I kept the color pallette very soft with the light blue, white and silver. Since the color pallette is so minimal and lacks contrast, I wanted to go very maximal with all the details and fill up the spread as much as possible. I started off by putting light blue and white paint directly on the page and spreading it out from there to have my color base. I glued down some lace from old curtains as well as some sheet music that I had tore up first and some white tissue paper. I looked in my ribbon bag and found some white and silver ribbons so I cut those into short pieces to glue all around different edges of the piece. I repeated those steps to have a layered effect before I started adding accents with silver paint and glitter glue. When the time came to write the lyrics, I chose "you're water to me" since the full line "cuz you're water to me" is one of my favorite parts of the song. I wrote it out with light blue paint and then went over it with iridescent glitter glue. I added some more details wity paint and glitter glue and added two coat of arms, one smiling and one frowning. While adding the silver glitter glue, I discovered a way to make the dollops look like drops of water or tears so I added those all over and especially to both the coat of arms. This piece was so lovely to work on, it was so calming to just listen to this song on repeat and work on this. This is definitely one that is very close to my heart, as is the song that it's based on.

Materials used: light blue, metalic silver, and white acrylic paints, sheet music, lace from old curtains; silver and iridescent glitter glues; silver and white ribbons, and white tissue paper

Next comes the pieces I made for the OnlyOneOf team. I think everyone knows by now that I've absolutely fallen for them and I've already made a piece for one of their songs tear Of gOd (you can find it in This Blog) and I was so excited to make more for them.

sage by OnlyOneOf

This is my favorite title track by them so I HAD to make a piece for it! I've always associated this song with the color green, maybe because of the title but it's more vibrant greens as opposed to sage green. Anyways, I wanted to go kind of monochromatic to emphasize the green pops. I painted the base black and then used various black and white scrapbook papers to add texture and contrast, as well as some black and white tissue papers. I broke out my green paints and went to work making lines around the sides of the pages, then adding green glitter glue once all the paint had dried. I spread the glitter glue around in some areas to disperse it and add more interest to the piece. I chose the lyrics "crazy foreign love" (sPeAkiNg oF LoVe) since it gets stuck in my head a lot and, idk it's just such a power lyric XD I wrote it out with the light green paint (ngl the only reason why I bought that paint is because it's very similar to Neo Pearl Champagne) and then went over it with the green glitter glue. This is a very simple piece but it was a lot of fun to work on and since I love this song so much, I'm so happy I finally made a piece for it.

Materials used: black, light green, and green acrylic paints, scrapbook paper; black and white tissue paper, and green glitter glue

bOss by OnlyOneOf

This is definitely one of my favorite songs by them and it always makes me think of such vibrant colors so I knew I needed to make a piece for this song. Purple and magenta pink come to mind when I hear this song, so those are the colors that I worked with! I put some purple and pink paint directly on the page and then painted them together to mix the colors. When the paint was dry, I spread a LOT of purple glitter glue all over the page, covering every inch of it to complete the base. I took some sheet music and used purple and pink (but mostly purple) water colors to stain it in order to act as the base for the lyrics. I used pink glitter glue around the edges of each sheet music section and spread it around, creating a sticky base for loose holographic glitter as well as pink iridescent loose glitter. Can you tell i wanted this piece to be glittery? When the glue was dry, I used white acrylic paint to write out the lyrics before going over with the pink color. I did this so that the pink would show up more easily than if I had put it directly over the purple. I initially wanted to use the lyrics "you're my queen of the night club" as it's my favorite lyric in the song but it was too long and I didn't want to cramp the piece, so I opted for my other favorite part "kingdom of the night" instead! I used pink glitter glue over top the word "night" and called it a finished piece! I'm so happy with how this one turned out and it was so fun to work with such exciting colors! And of course all the glitter~ I love how this piece sparkles in different lighting, I'll sit at my desk and just move the page around to see all the different refractions! I'm in love with this piece~ Speaking of Love-

Materials used: purple, magenta, and white acrylic paints; pink and purple glitter glues, sheet music; pink and purple water color paints, pink iridescent loose glitter and loose holographic glitter

Happy Birthday by Oneus

This piece was SO much fun to work on and I really was able to fall in love with this song by working on this one. I had bought this paint that's essentially a fast drying glitter glue that looks like confetti so what better way to use it than for a piece for a song called Happy Birthday?! I laid that down first on the page and then glued down some of the blue sheet music I had leftover from the Strange Tropics piece in This Blog to create some contrast. I used all of my blue paints to add lines all over and create more texture and contrast, also layering more tissue paper to create more interest similar to the Like Water piece. I also splattered the different blue paints all over to add to that confetti look. I went over some of the blue paint lines with blue and iridescent glitter glues to add some more sparkle. I laid down some more tissue paper and then put the blue sheet music over top to have more contrast for the title sections. I added it with light blue paint and then put my coat of arms as well. I really love this piece and I really fell in love with this song as I was working on it. Now that I think about it, this was probably the most appropriate piece to warrant tissue paper pfft. Anyways, I love how this piece came out and I had such a good time working on it.

Materials used: confetti paint; blue and light blue acrylic paints, blue stained sheet music, white tissue paper; blue and iridescent glitter glues

Intro : Devil is in the detail by Oneus

I had to make a piece for my favorite Oneus intro~ and ohmygosh was this a ride XD I originally had a totally different idea for this one, but I just wasn't happy with how it was turning out so I covered it all up with black tissue paper and decided to rethink my concept. The two things I was sure of were the color pallette; purple, teal and black with silver accents if I decide to add them, and I wanted it to have lots of little details cuz, well, "devil's in the detail~" as the song says. I decided to go back to my roots and make a galaxy using a splattering technique that adds a lot of great texture and I added in two hidden coat of arms within the splatters. Once the colors were put down, I added "stars" with white splattering and then used various glitter glues to add more detail. I cut out the lyrics "devil's in the detail" from black paper and then covered them with 2 different glitter glues. I wanted this piece to be kind of a hunt for the words and coat of arms and I think the galaxy perfectly represents that there are just so many minute things that make life as we know it and contribute to the universe as a whole. I'm in love with this piece and not just cuz it uses my favorite colors XD I have a long history with galaxy paintings so this was very nostalgic for me~

Materials used: black tissue paper; pthalo green, aqua, light purple, purple and white acrylic paints, black construction paper; black, pink, purple, teal, silver and iridescent glitter glues and loose holographic glitter
