Is there a certain canvas size you work with for the high resolution?
Loved your explanation of how you did the colors. ^^ I struggle with it too so it’s cool you found a way to make the process faster and easier as opposed to spending minutes to hours trying to fix color combos.

Only thing I personally would of added to stellaren 2 is some more romance options. It was a bad feeling romancing Rene all night long then spoilers




Bad things happening to her before that dinner. Besides that great visual novel though!I'll be checking out your other works

Can you enter into more details about shading. Because like, how can I know where the shadows lay? Do you take lighting into consideration? Are there any resources that teach you these simple shadows? I am working for character sprites for a VN myself and I struggle to find tutorials that help me shade my characters without anything fancy. Any help is greatly apprised!

Have you any plan to update the original stellaren on iOS ?
It’s no longer support iPhone 10 and I have been a fan of this game since it was still a six-parts novel if you update it I would buy the pro version in an instance

Progs! What program do you use to do both the sketches and colouring?

Sometimes i wonder if i want to make Full Body of the characters for the Visual Novel.. like Danganronpa, they hav full body and also different emotion during chatting.

[InedibleMattman]

how many different poses per character do you end up doing? Do you only do the one? Or do you find that you need alternate poses for different responses?

Hello, I'm looking for an anime illustrator for a visual novel game I'm going to make. Just for some simple character drawings. If anyone is interested, can you write to me? See you later.

Can you recommend some books to study for absolute beginners? I really enjoy writing, and I'm getting decent on programming too, but my drawings suck.
