[Self-Introduction] The world of creation expanding from AI illustrations, I'm Minato Ushio (๑╹ω╹๑ )

Hello, I'm Minato (๑╹ω╹๑ )

Did this illustration just move for a second?
Creating a piece that makes you think that is my goal 🌙

I am a creator who makes AI illustrations with a focus on light and composition 🎨

Even though I call myself a creator, until December 2025, I had no skills or writing ability. What's a prompt?
How do you make illustrations?
I was a complete amateur who didn't understand programming at all (๑•́︿•̀๑)💦
I would be happy if you could watch and feel my growth as well ❀(*´▽`*)❀

The way light hits, the movement of the wind, a fleeting expression.
I want to create a piece that captures the very atmosphere of that moment, like a scene cut from an anime or movie 🎬✨

My goal is not just to make something 'pretty,' but to depict a moment where life dwells, making the viewer feel, 'Oh, did this girl just move?' 🌙

About my characters 🌊

My original character, Ushio-chan, often appears in my illustrations.

She is a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, and I draw her so that her unique charm shines through whether she is in a Japanese-style, cyberpunk, or fantasy world ✨

There is also another girl named Yui-chan with pink hair ( *´﹀`* )

If Ushio-chan is a quiet girl with a strong core, Yui-chan is bright and energetic. I love the atmosphere that is created when the two of them are together, which you can't get with just one of them 🌸

Articles I want you to read first 🚪

I'll leave some recommended articles here (​ *´꒳`*​)⬇️

Causes and fixes for stiff-looking AI illustrations 🏃‍♂️

The problem of 'it just doesn't have any movement'
that you run into most often with AI illustrations ( ; ˘-ω-)
I struggled with this a lot too, so I summarized the causes and four ways to fix them 🎨

How to increase new readers on note! 🚪

The answer was 'articles that get searched'

This is a story about how I realized the cause when I was only ever being read by the same people ( ᎔˘꒳˘᎔)
I would be happy if this reaches others who have the same worries 🚪

Mythology Series 🌙

I'm not just doing illustrations; I'm also writing a series that delves into one deity from mythology at a time ✨

In the second installment, the Freya episode, I tried to express the contradiction of a goddess who is the goddess of love and beauty, yet also a goddess of war and a sorceress, and who keeps losing everything, through five illustrations🌸

📌 Mythology Series Part 2 ① Freya

I've covered Heimdall, Loki, Odin, Thor, Baldur, and Freyr, so if there's a god you're interested in, please take a peek|*･ω･)ﾁﾗｯ

Thankfully, I've been receiving more requests to review AI tools from overseas✨

I always value the principle of 'only writing what I think after actually trying it out,' so I write honestly about both the good points and the not-so-great ones( ᎔˘꒳˘᎔)

📌 Pollo AI: What happens if you change the video AI model with the same single image × same prompt?

📌 Pollo AI: Turning a mythology article into a video! From storyboards of Heimdall's battle scene

📌 HIX AI: The story of how an AI agent supported the entire video production process

📌 Dokie AI: The story of unexpected discoveries when playing with a slide generation AI

I'm always open to AI tool PR and review requests🍀
I'm currently working on others as well✨️
I'll do my best
to make them even easier to understand(ง •̀_•́)ง🔥

My own tool: 'Recipe Book of Light and Composition'🎨

When generating AI art, even if I ask for 'something nice,' for some reason, it only comes up with similar ideas( ´･ω･` )
This problem ultimately boils down to the fact that 'the range of your art expands as much as the number of words you know'( ; ˘-ω-)

I created this recipe book to help increase those options"(ﾉ*>∀<)ﾉ

Just by tapping on Japanese cards, an English prompt is automatically built. Without writing a single letter of English!⸜(˙꒳˙)⸝

✅ Over 450 options (65 types of outfits alone, 53 types of poses)
✅ All confusing terms come with explanations of 'what kind of image it is'
✅ Just open it in your smartphone browser. No installation required
✅ Once you register your character's appearance, it's automatically set every time

📌 Recipe Book of Light and Composition (Original)

📌 Recipe Book Updated Version
Features and prompts have increased since the original!

For those who want to enjoy this more closely together, I've also opened a membership✨

🌱 Support Plan (100 yen)
・Distribution of smartphone and PC wallpapers (once a month)

This plan is for those who want to support me casually.
The only perk is the wallpaper, but
just the feeling of "Keep up the good work!" is truly encouraging (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

⭐ Standard Plan (500 yen)
・Recipe book for light and composition (includes updates)
・Distribution of smartphone and PC wallpapers (once a month)
・Invitation to Discord
・Introduction to prompts used in production
・Sharing of production processes and trial-and-error
・Member-only articles and bulletin board
・Creation of member introduction articles

The recipe book is 1,500 yen for the initial standalone version,
and the updated version is 3,000 yen, which is expensive but has a huge amount of content💦
Honestly, I think this is cheaper than buying 300 yen items with 2 or 3 prompts 10 times (*´艸`)
With the membership, you can use everything including updates for 500 yen (*´艸`)
