Land of the Lustrous SPEEDPAINT ( Phosphophyllite )

[@FMOptimist]

I like how her pupils are kind if blury and hard to define, it kind if emphasizes that shes really lost and afraid

[@SpectroliteAAA]

Oh my gosh thank you I'm so glad! That was exactly what I was trying to do! :D

That's deep.. Excuse me. *sobs in a corner missing old phos.*

[@willbe_human]

OH MY gOD YES I clicked as soon as I got the notification, houseki no kuni is one of my favorite things currently (And phos, they're like, one of my top 3 favorite characters in works of fiction) This looks absolutely amazing, just what you'd expect from someone as talented as you!

[@mariakutsu5946]

Ah! I'm glad you enjoyed HnK. I followed it when it came out and really, I love how it handled it'd themes of loss, grief and change so well!

[@pae4321]

This looks beautiful! My best friend in the entire world read the first book of this! He would be so surprised to see something like this! Glad you noticed it and hope your girlfriend loves it!😊

[@laurusw6132]

This looks awesome! The translucent effect you drew for the hair looks amazing! Great job Melons!

[@harryolo1]

My favorite show? My favorite artist? No way this is real!

[@azelswirldesertrose214]

Going back this Speedpaint after so long makes me both miss Phos and afraid for what will happen to them after all that happened to them. And SPOILER onthefrikinmoon like. God. This piece is so pretty and so is the series- just hope it won’t end badly

[@paulodomes9335]

This is the only CG anime that i've ever liked.

[@SpectroliteAAA]

Dude yeah. Usually I don't care for 3D animated Anime's but this was done soooo well! The animation is amazing!

[@Attor715]

My god this fanart is gorgeous!! I absolutely love the way you colored in Lapis' hair as well!! It's so wonderfully sparkly. Honestly, you drew the gems beautifully in general!

[@bellflowersimp2827]

Your Art never fails to impress me, even if I don't know what character is this I just L O V E your Art So MUCH!

[@btris3674]

sakura -g- just try to watch land of the lustrous

[@vem3264]

I keep hearing of this anime and I’m not sure if I should watch it or not, but after this amazing art I think I have to XD I love your drawings WalkingMelons! You’ve really improved and I hope to see more anime art later!

[@jennywithaglock3916]

It's an amazing anime, be prepared for an existential crisis. Make sure you come back to this video it's got a lot of smart references.

[@aike3448]

You should totally watch it, it's just amazing

[@vem3264]

Ok I’ll go for it then! If I remember I’ll come back and say what I think about it :D

[@MG-lr9jv]

PinkMochiMushrooms You definitely should! It is very good!

[@banneddeleted6022]

Luca Perugini what is the anime all about? I got curious

[@minikaiju4984]

5 years ago man. I remember I watched this when I was younger and now the series inspired me so much creatively wise, and got me into rocks way more than i though. Guess I gotta dish out my thanks for your work hahaha

[@vanessatorrez9480]

YES YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HYPED I WAS WHEN I SAW THE PREVIEW IN INSTAGRAM AAAAAA THIS LOOKS AMAZING ALYSSA! ❤️

[@doukzu]

YES THANK YOU THIS ANIME IS NOT POPULAR ENOUGH Everyone I've seen assumes it's a SU rip off (despite coming out before) and I just- THANK YOU FOR THIS FABULOUS SPEEDPAINT Poor Phos doesn't deserve all this trouble-

[@anastasia_852]

*Cries in manga*

[@mera8570]

YES! Ever since I saw the preview on instagram I was waiting for this and I hope it'll be a print because I'd definitely buy it and also although definitely unintentional you drew my favorite characters! So thanks on that even if it's a coincidence Edit:omigod is that moon phos in the back

[@SpectroliteAAA]

Haha oh man I'm so glad!!! And yes that is moon phos! :D

[@missstarlight2367]

Houseki no kuni, or Land of the lustrous in english, is one of my preferate animes. It's just beautiful. The soundtracks, the style. I just love this anime. And I can wait for the second season !! Also, if you love that anime. You should watch : the children of the whale. It's beautiful... I love this one too..

[@icantthinkofagoodenoughnam7028]

*GASP* HOOOOOOOOOOOOO MA GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD

IM ACTUALLY SOBBING LAND OF THE LUSTROUS IS SUCH A GOOD SHOW AAAAA

[@SpectroliteAAA]

Dude I cried so much both watching and reading it

[@moogiee_moo]

WalkingMelonsAAA man, isn’t Phos’s torso the best character

[@wisp_dust]

9. FREAKING. HOURS in ONE drawing. I can't even sit 3 hours in front of my computer to draw

[@Rarururu__]

Kat Feroe She probably took breaks though

[@wisp_dust]

Ryuu Art makes sense

[@Nadkion]

Her massive undertale painting took her 27 hours

[@Pinqchan]

Hecc my back already hurts just for painting an ugly thing in 2 hours xD

[@narucchii7725]

It depends on how much you love what you're doing (except if you have some health issues). I usually stay around 5-6 hours to draw. But couldn't survive 4 hours on playing games lol

[@HeroG9000]

The pain. The loss. My heart is shattered. Your painting brought back all the feelings from the show. This is such a great show

[@dannycrandberryboo]

YO WHAT THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH MELON YOU MADE MY DAY

[@passerine404]

Thank you for making this amazing speedpaint! I saw it a couple times before, but then it recently came up in my recomended videos and tried to find the first episode to watch the anime. It was an unsuccessful search, so I bought the manga off of Amazon. I am so glad I did! I love this, and it's all because of this speedpaint! Although I have to say, this meant a LOT more once I got far enough to understand it. (It makes me sad. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE PRECIOUS WINTER BEEEAAN! *sobs in a corner*) Also, these comments are going to make me cry. My heart hurts.

[@oddlytoby]

YESSSSSS!!! THANK YOU!!! I don't see many people paying attention to this masterpiece, I'm so glad you did this!

[@zephyrdagonheart1208]

Fun fact: Butterflies represent transformation and change as a spirit animal. So for Phos to be surrounded by butterflies gives it a deeper meaning. They basically represent her change physically and emotionally into this strong willed gem being with some PTSD possibly. ANYWAY, hope you liked that little detail. Keep up the work Alyssa!

[@CaroFB]

Oh My god This is just amazing i love the colours and the backgrounds your just getting better and better!!!!!! AHHHHH

[@crumblesilkskin]

this kind of videos is what i like, it gives attention to the show, it makes more people aware of the show and there is a chance that people would like it and the fan base increases and it gives a higher chance for the show to get another season..

[@cassiknova]

THIS IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL like I don’t have words this is just extremely gorgeous, every part of it!! aah this would be an AMAZING poster

[@anacacerola5466]

THIS IS SO GOOD IM ALMOST CRYING OMFG THE MEMORIES OF THE MANGA OH LORD IM _DYING_

[@artgems1623]

"AHHHH !!!" -> that was my first reaction just with the video picture and the artist name. HnK fanart by you, I really need a respiratory assistance. THIS IS SO AWESOME !!!! That's super cool to see you appreciate so much this story without talking about the manga style or the CGI animation (unfortunately a lot of people don't want to watch this masterpiece because of that). And you did such a wonderful work with your own style mixed with Ichikawa's style. Gems effect is so perfect and bodies' appearence is gold TvT Thank you to contribuate in this great manga/anime !

[@themangoprofessor236]

Im happy to see that someone else knows about this anime. Land of the lustrous is really underrated. This is a really cool and beautiful art piece!

[@emitheangrycat]

This is awesome!!! Happy Pride Month!! ❤️💛💚💙💜

[@SpectroliteAAA]

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! :D

[@guymakesart5941]

The way you make such vivid and beautiful colors in your art is easily one of my Favorate things about it. I have no damn clue how you make such beautiful colouring but god the result is beautiful.

[@shadetee234]

As someone who's now caught up to the current volume and has an idea what the remaining chapters contain; holy shit the work goes in a counterclockwise direction in terms of Phos' development. The real turn of their character is when they loose Anarct and gain new arms in the process, leading to their emotional breakdown. Shortly after being paired with Ghost Quartz (then later on Cairngorm), they loose their head and has Lapis' as a replacement, slowly but surely adapting their traits and later be an agent of the moon. Just... Wow!

[@voidsassin7607]

I love the emotion in this piece but especially Antarcticites face. You just perfectly caught the emotion that she carried in that scene.

[@bluescreening]

I went and watched Land of the Lustrous after seeing this picture, and BOY AM I GLAD I DID! It’s like a glorious cross between Steven Universe and Sailor Moon, making it MY FAVOURITE THING and I’m gonna get the manga soon! Thanks for introducing me to this, and great drawing!

[@darkknightstarnoon5008]

This... This made me literally cry! Damn it! This is the only series I have ever watched that managed to get me to cry and has developed into a type similar of PTSD(not saying I have it) that makes me cry whenever I get reminded of Phos's loses.

[@KNightshade6]

Your art stile is perfect for this! They look quiet shiny, This is epic!

[@Rose-ry6ru]

Out of this whole speedpaint I have to say I like Lapis’ facial expression and pose the most 😂 btw your art is absolutely beautiful, Spectrolite

Yup my favourite depressing manga.

[@dragonwizerd457z2]

I love you and everything about your work. Never ever stop. You are such an amazing person who has inspired me and so many others in so many ways. If I had the money I would buy all of your artwork and frame it all over my house. You are just so amazing. I will always be one of your legion of art nerds. Please don't ever stop doing what you love.

[@mayojaylaylo5627]

Hello! As always, amazing artwork Melons!! I love the way you placed each character in their own place and how everything looked hard as diamonds and yet soft. I've also never heard of this anime, and now I'm getting very interested in the story. Thanks for gracing my Saturday with an amazing piece of art!

[@ghostchan9204]

Land of The Lustrous is the hidden GEM of the season

[@treestyarafalckayla762]

OMG OMGGGGGGGG I’m so happy that you put Lapis and (THEM) OMGGG I’M GONNA CRY... ( I typed “them” because I don’t want to give spoilers for the people who didn’t read the manga

[@peridotmirandeden6535]

Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous! As always, I am blown away by and am in love with the sense of composition and space that you have in your art. Also awesome to see that you've gotten into Houseki no Kuni! I got into it late last year and binged through all of the anime and manga like you did. Definitely one of those simple, but poignant stories. :')

[@w1tchysounds207]

I got into this anime a few months ago now and I've been obsessed! Im so glad you love the show as much as I do!

[@mashollings]

aaahh i absolutely adore this!! but! let us take our time to look away from the art(which is absolutely outstanding), and take a short while to appreciate the EFFORT that Melons has put into this piece! all that time, all that detail, how does she do it?? how??? one thing's for sure, she's an amazing artist and deserves more recognition :D

[@SpectroliteAAA]

Haha awww thank you. You're very sweet. It's just a lot of practice and experience xD

I didn't know anything of this anime... I may be considering to watch it in the near future. But this speedpaint, despite being beautiful, it also feels me with some kind of sadness... (And yeah, I also read the description). It is always worth to look at the work of a great artist like you.
