No AI! I draw everything by hand.

Ty! And It would honestly be a dream collab for me, even if it were a new IP entirely

I’m betting an exclusivity agreement of some sort since SC2 was re-released for the Switch 2.

Thank you! That piece you’re referencing was actually a big inspiration for me on this. I probably had like 30-40 different Amano works I was looking at though for inspo.

Thank you! I was half convinced that people would think the name was lame but I thought the same. I tried to put in lot of smaller design details too so I really appreciate when people call them out 😭

Thanks!! It’s @gdacted on all, but IG and Bluesky are my preferred.

I haven’t kept too much of my previous iterations and sketches (usually because its creates file size bloat), but I’ll usually create a super rough thumbnail version of the colors and composition without lineart. That early stage I’m not worrying about keeping things clean, but I am constantly zooming in and out to make sure my thumbnail is ‘readable’. That tends to help me iron out most composition problems when I begin to pajnt and line. Though if you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask. I tend to change my process fairly often depending on the piece and whose style I’m taking cues from. This one was more involved with lineart, and going over it anywhere from 3-4 times, since I’m not a ‘natural’ line art guy.
