~A Post-Creation Discussion by the "Gensou no Mori" Duo~
Yanase: "...I’m sorry. I ended up using this as an experiment for [Corel] Painter! (lol)"
Genmu: "Like a 'light and airy' watercolor style?"
Yanase: "Exactly... I might have cut a few too many corners! (^^;)"
Genmu: "My regret is that the contrast is so sharp it’s hard on the eyes! (crying)"
Yanase: "True, I suppose it looks that way, especially next to my 'light and airy' watercolor style! (^^;)"
Genmu: "We’re at complete opposite ends of the spectrum, aren't we? (lol)"
Yanase: "My own regrets are that the contrast was too weak (lol), and that it’s a bit sloppy."
Genmu: "It’s pretty clear you were struggling with Painter, huh? (lol)"
Yanase: "Oh, the misery! (^^;)"
Genmu: "What I do like is that I managed to get a thick, painterly texture, which is surprising for Photoshop!"
Yanase: "I think it’s amazing that you can achieve that kind of 'thick paint' look in Photoshop! (lol)
As for me... I guess I’m only really happy with the color palette! (^^;)"
Genmu: "I actually quite like the Japanese-style attire, though. Are you not a fan of it, Yanase-san?"
Yanase: "...Well, the thing is... I kind of phoned it in! (self-destructs)"
