thank you - they still look so rough to me but... not as rough as the ones from 16 months ago XD. Fwoof that perspective/composition looks amazing.
@nathanKmcwilliams it's a great inspiration!! The sound effects look retro/playful - awesome. That's on our watch list, will look out for the song.
I was able to buy a 3d model that's really close to what I wanted for Liv's gun and import it into Clip Studio using the modeler. It's really fast/easy - might look into it further to see if I can get it with more textures and change the model so it matches what I wanted exactly. In love already though - it's not too fussy to rotate it and draw this object so much faster than I would if I was trying to imagine it
. Downside is losing out on the practice, but I think I'm ok with that.
