Tokyo during summer is devoid of color. The haze really robs the saturation out of everything

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I managed to resolve it, if we can say that… sometimes the billing information doesn’t match because apple autofills it with the country that you’re in…

Does anybody know why I can’t set up a subscription plan for clip studio on my IPad? It says to choose another payment method, it doesn’t accept any of my cards. I now live in Japan, is that why?

Been travelling, going to temples, studying… I’ve been neglecting drawing a bit.. Everyday I’m so busy that I don’t really have time to think. I’m having lots of fun but it’s kinda hard balancing everything.. I wish I could find more time for drawing!

Found a cute shrine in a park next to the city hall I went to register myself. Thinking of going there for plein air painting this weekend.

I stumbled upon 浅草寺 on my way to get an eSIM

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

It’s such a niche game but lots of it’s locations and style influence me a lot as an artist. It’s kinda crazy

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Are there any animation festival where to network, kinda like annecy, but in Japan?

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I kinda flopped when they asked me some grammar I rarely use. I just hope they won’t put me with ppl learning the alphabet 😭✋

Finding an apartment around Taito ku is an absolute nightmare 😭✋

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Sooo I’ve been slacking off on my Japanese for a few months since I was really busy with work and coincidentally now my language school will have me perform a level test and an interview in Japanese too😭✋ I’m not ready for this oh god

All my BGs are with my AD for correction, and my job as a bg painter is done✨✨🫰!! I’m helping out doing cell shading and it’s so low cortisol ☺️

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Painting a bg I'm responsible for at work that I also drew. There're lots of roses, and I have to render all of them, so I started counting them out of curiousity. They're around 118💀...

To cooldown after work i usually doodle clouds. Stockpiled quite a few and wanted to use them in some illustrations but seem to never get the chance.

Thank you sm✨✨🫰🫶🫶!!!

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

If I may ask!! Do you know the difference between 背景、背景美術　and 美術ボード？ Aren’t all of them background 😵‍💫? Is it the same difference between visdev, layout and bg paint?

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I did find out Kusanagi contributed but I couldn’t find a list this detailed omg

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Does anyone know how can I view proper credits of anime staff? I loved the BGs on the 2nd ep of Yomi no tsugai, and wanted to look at the artists who did it, some sites say it was Kusanagi studio and others have names of people that have no art attached to them😔

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Thank you✨🙏 I will check it out!!

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Does anyone have any recommendations for manga shading brushes (crosshatching, noise and such) for clip studio?? They’re so hard to find

Can’t believe csm ended…

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

For the past 3 weeks I’ve been a layout artist for my studio. I do not understand how layout artists deal with the constant crazy shots that have to be drawn with accurate perspective everyday. I literally have an headache right now. I can’t wait to move to painting🫩

After working for a while, now even my intuos stopped working??? The hell is going onnn

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Soooo my cintiq stopped working…. Updated the drivers, changed ports, restarted the computer…did not work. Lost 3 hrs of my time, this is so stupid. I ordered a new usb c cable hoping it will fix things🫩.

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Started my 3rd week of work, and for now I’m really liking the project. I’m struggling a bit with working from home and separating work from personal life, but I hope to learn soon how to handle that. For now I’m just really glad they’re liking everything I made, omg I was so scared

Matteo @coldsteam.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Thank you!! It’s almost done but work is slowing me down
