Ah found it xD

i was expecting her to be a girl but not this cute! xD

Yeah, DB went an extra mile making Naoki-chan cute + witch motif xD

The process is quite educational too.

yeah, he could have just drawn him with cute hair but he even made character sheets and everything for reference.

Well you can't just draw the illustration right away, gotta come up with the character design first.

Speaking of character design Saito Naoki made a vid about it 2 days ago

誰でもキャラデザが上手く出来る方法とは！？

It's quite a different approach compared to similar vids I saw before

xyph : i'll look at this later. xD

Have you watched it? I think starting out with a chibi is a good start in making the base design.

ah, thanks for the heads up on this. i did forget it.

ah, starting off with a chibi looks like a good idea. i'll keep that in mind. it's dual-purpose too since i can make a chibi character at the same time.

Yeah , least you can tackle the characters possible silhouette/base form before delving into further details.Then there's the brainstorming process which is interesting
