This was CRAZY! As simple n mundane as this might seem, for me personally it was SO TEDIOUS because I had to so SO MUCH detail work on this. Sometimes I felt like my brain was gonna die. But I'm DONE! And I JUST LOVE IT!

* I purchased the original line art from watami_わたみ on Clip Studio Paint:

* I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watami_わたみ's work so much because I am so terrible at this kind of stuff, but this artist DOES SUCH BEAUTIFUL artwork!

* I used Adobe Photoshop CC & Clip Studio Paint.

(If u DON'T have Clip Studio Paint yet, YOU NEED TO GET IT!)

YOU HAVE NO IDEA how many layers there are for this in Photoshop! I m DREADING pulling it into After Effects later.

I will be using this for some more LoFi animations on my channel Oppressed By Violet.

The Chinese patterns on the wood beams in the roofing architecture as so tedious. I'm SO GLAD IT'S OVER!
