Once again, I was in charge of the concept design for Tsukuyomi in 'Super Princess Kaguya!'
From ideas that were actually used to those that were scrapped, we drew various things and the production team repeatedly reviewed them before finally arriving at the final product!
I'm so grateful and thrilled that they used some of it in the show!

How to check the light and dark areas in an illustration (using Clip Studio Paint)

1. Create a new layer. 2. Blend layers: 'Color'
3. Fill with a color with zero saturation (such as white).

In digital media, all colors with the same saturation have the same brightness.
On the other hand, people perceive brightness differently depending on the color.
This is how it's displayed. (Same as grayscale display) pic.twitter.com/MWsJAHsG5q

I haven't received the reservation information yet, but I'm releasing this illustration in advance to ask for your support. By the way, regarding the ankle strap, the original design was for a shoe strap, but it was rearranged to look like an anklet for the sake of 3D modeling. Just in case there are inconsistencies when I draw Medusa-chan in the future...👠 https://t.co/Nke6jRG8Ob pic.twitter.com/oCGvsxAX8f
