What's up, my dudes! How's it going? 🥰

These last two weeks have been hectic for me, mainly because of the Chapter 02 release and some IRL stuff, like my birthday. Speaking of which, I want to give a huge thanks and a warm welcome to the new supporters here on Patreon. You guys are amazing! ❤️ But anyway... no more rambling, let's get straight to the point!

One of the things I learned from Chapter 02 is that the lack of consistency in the MC’s visuals impacted more than I expected. I agree that some frames weren’t at the same high level as the rest of the artwork. Even though the images are AI generated, I could’ve done better. So, I created a LoRa for the MC (which, simply put, works as a standardized model), and it significantly improved his consistency.

But as I started creating the sprites for Chapter 03, I realized I’d make the same inconsistency mistake again if I didn’t create a LoRa for each character... so, I’m doing that right now. It’s a time-consuming process, but in the end, it’ll be worth it. This will eliminate future inconsistencies and improve the overall quality of the artwork.

This means Ana, Hellen, and Max will get slight adjustments to their appearances, but nothing as drastic as the MC’s redesign, so no need to worry. In a few days, I’ll share the updated character looks and get your feedback! For now, here’s some progress on Max + a glimpse of my Photoshop workflow 👀
