Mizue, the process.

Mizue is having a good time in the swimming pool🏖️🍹

The step: Sketch and value (1) > Line art (2) > Flat color (3) > Add first layer of details (4) > Finalize the first layer of details (5) > Adjustments (6) > Second layer of details (7) > Add more alt versions (8) > Preview without lining (9) > Finalize the second layer of details (10) > Finish the artwork (11).

I record the process mainly for proof-of-work reasons. One of my friends got hazed and banned on Reddit recently for posting his fanart. His art was so good it was mistaken for AI slop. 🤯

So many good artists were caught in the crossfire because these stupid AI were trained on artist artworks, and now artists have to prove they're the ones who are making the art instead. What a crazy world I'm living in😭
