音時雨 ~Regentropfen~

☆ surprisingly 2/78

It would definitely go much faster at this pace, but I also know this is definitely nothing but a temporary boost. However, this still shrank the total time by one whole month, which is great.

The moon. The draft was quickly finalised when I was still working on the previous one, which fastened its finishing-up. Then, for this one, there were no big changes from the on-paper draft, and everything went smoothly as initially planned. The lake stage plus red moon plus the bride and plus the kris. It was at quite a late stage when I noticed there is a fairly large decorative thing for the bride dress around the neck, but that looks visually unclear, and also because I was lazy to meet her in game at the moment, I decided to omit that part -- I'm never aiming to be a precious cosplayer.
New things I tried this time, different brushes, splitting outline/base fills to layers by parts, and colour-tinted shadow effect. The trickiest part was rather the moon, as I couldn't find a good brush at first, and it's huge which ate up some of the resources.
I've just heard clipstudio got 2.0. May update to that version soon (maybe not?).
Again, the next card has been decided -- 10 swords + some maliketh touch (even the card after the next one! 7 cups + powder dust (??)), though I don't think I can get it done as quick as this one -- the background requires some time to figure out.

Another surprise was I gradually got used to first-person games. Having been playing Ghostwire for a week and now I'm able to handle hard mode. Still, I'm never a fan of 1st person and I doubt my brain can fit in any 1st person game. If they release a 3rd person patch (why have they got so many costumes in a 1st person game??) I might just buy the game in full but for now, I'll just enjoy my ps+ free offer.
