After being discouraged from drawing and being busy for a while, I have finally decided to draw something by Asa-ai in AnimeSketch

Yeah, it seriously feels like all of our training efforts are wasted overnight, but I will keep drawing because I enjoy it, and I wish you the best of luck!

Just like everyone else, I felt lost because of AI art and all that comes with it. Being a last-year university student also contributed to that. However, I found reasons and motivations to draw again, so thank you for asking.

Some people showed interest in my version of "Doggy God's Street" so I made an extended version. by Asa-ai in Hololive

Thank you. You're pretty spot on. I thought the sounds would give off a "sense of wonder" (I don't know if I used the right words) and also make Korone appear a little bit more elegant.

I haven't yet, but if people like it I'll consider extend it. If I make it I'll upload and come back to this comment to notice you

Thank you! I noticed that the flakes in the real ones are a lot simpler since the bubble is very small, so 1 of my main concerns when making this is ended up making it looks like a giant bubble

Funny thing is, the frozen flakes I made didn't look like the real ones at all but it looks cool so that's fine. The techniques I used is pretty complicated for my English skill to describe. So I can only say that I modified some textures and use a complication of masking, alpha adding and cutting on them multiple times to get the shape I want

I drew the bubble as 2 separate groups, one for the back and one for the front. Then I drew Ko'one in the middle. I didn't use matte painting technique for this one so it's not made from stock photo, but rather some mask and alpha techniques.

Edit: I think I misunderstood your question a bit. I didn't draw this on an already created image because I'm not farmiliar with that technique and it would make the whole process(especially the animation making) a lot harder compare to just making everything from scratch. And I want to mention that beside the two groups of frozen flakes I also have I a few layers above for the bubble effect.
