Can't survive on cuteness alone!? The result of Shio-chan picking up a sword is... ⚔️✨

First, on a personal note, this is my 100th consecutive day on note! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Everyone, are you worried that you're stuck in a rut, always wearing the same kind of cute clothes?
Actually, the combination of 'cool x cute' is the ultimate spice to grab your readers' hearts!
Today, I'll guide you into a new world of Shio-chan that will make you shout, 'Wow, so cool!' ((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o)))

Hello, this is Minato (๑╹ω╹๑ )

I'm here to deliver another energetic fantasy edition this Wednesday! ✨
Today, Shio-chan has transformed from a mage into a dignified 'swordsman'! ⚔️🛡️
Let's take a look at this illustration right away!

The sight of her carrying a sword against the backdrop of a floating island at dusk... I absolutely love it! 🥰
I've applied the three spells of 'breaking away from stiff poses' to bring this character to life in this illustration too! 🪄

The first spell is 'gaze and body orientation' 👀✨
This time, both images use a 'looking back' pose, where the body is turned slightly away and she looks back over her shoulder!
Rather than looking straight at the camera, showing the line of the back creates a heart-pounding story, as if she suddenly turned around in the middle of an adventure ( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )❤︎

The second spell is 'making the hands act' 👐💫
Just because she's a swordsman doesn't mean she has to be stiffly gripping the sword! 💦
So, I had her gently rest her hand on the hilt of the sword, or hold it in a relaxed way! Can't you feel the moment of relief between battles? ✨

The third spell is 'shifting the center of gravity' ⚖️🌟
This time, I have her sitting lightly on a rocky area or leaning slightly!
Standing straight on both feet is cool, but by shifting her weight and resting, the character's humanity and liveliness really stand out (((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o)))

Here is today's recommendation and honest recipe corner! 🤫📝
This time, I'll talk honestly about 'fantasy armor and swords (metal expression)' created with Niji Journey.

With Niji Journey, the metal reflections and light hits come out so beautifully, and it instantly explodes with an authentic RPG feel! Just adding 'silver armor' or 'holding a sword' to the prompt boosts the quality and gets me super excited (๑>◡<๑)✨

But, there is a small point to be careful about 💦
AI is sometimes a bit bad at holding weapons, so the way she holds the sword might become unnatural, or the armor might become too bulky and erase the girl's cuteness (；ω；)
That's why specifying 'light armor' and emphasizing the main character's 'gentle smile' to balance coolness and cuteness is the secret to an illustration everyone will love 😉💕

There are times when you're making an illustration and you want to give up because 'the weapon won't generate properly and I'm in despair...' (>_<)
But it's okay! If you keep trying while incorporating the tips about center of gravity, hands, gaze, and body orientation that I talked about today, you'll find the one you want! 🌟

I will continue to deliver warm articles that make you, the readers, feel excited, thinking, 'Maybe I'll try making something with a new setting too!' (❁´ω`❁)
I am truly grateful for the connection with you who always support me! ⚔️✨ Let's continue to enjoy adventuring in the world of creation together tomorrow!

And this time, I want to introduce Chatty-san! ✨
Chatty-san made an illustration for my magazine introduction with Akari-san, and I was so happy about it ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
They combined Chatty-san's character, Akari-san's Aquarium, and the light and composition that I value to create it!?
This makes me so happy (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾💕
There's a cute character swimming in a beautiful sea, and the light is gently illuminating the character! (*´◒`*)
I want everyone to see it too 🤭👇

Also, Chatty-san made something called 'Chatty Gacha' that generates random character prompts, and it's interesting, so I tried it a few times and was able to generate cute characters without failure! (*´ω`*)
It might be useful for those who haven't decided on a character yet, or when you want to try a different character for a change to get an image! 💡

And here is the child that was actually created ヽ(*´∀｀)

What do you think? Isn't she cute!? 😳💕
I can't stop spinning the gacha because I'm looking forward to seeing what other children I can meet! lol
I want everyone to try it and tell me what you got ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Joint Magazine Introduction

I started this magazine because I wanted to create a place where I could keep everyone's wonderful 'my child' and best works decorated forever! 🌸

It's called 'Minato and Everyone's AI Illustration Exhibition 🎨'!
I want to make it a warm gallery-like place where we can all show off our works together (´꒳`)✨
Those who like looking at wonderful illustrations and those who want to enjoy AI illustrations more from now on are all welcome!
Please follow the magazine and come visit our exhibition ♡(੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾
I'm also looking for people to join in the joint management, so feel free to reach out (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

And, I heard Akari-san opened another amazing joint magazine! It's called Aquarium!
It's a wonderful place like a luxurious aquarium ✨🐠
Akari-san started it because she wanted to prevent creative works from just flowing away! 😌
Please check that out too ☺️✨
