Redrawing the picture book from back then with AI, as I am now

Hello, this is NAO.

Recently, I've been wanting to challenge myself more with image generation AI, so I've been searching for all sorts of things.
Just like when I made music with Suno, this time I thought,it would be great if I could give shape to my thoughts through visuals too!

While doing that, I came across the term "AI picture book," and
I suddenly remembered a certain work I created about eight years ago.

Back then, a certain event inspired me to write a story that was like a picture book.
The title was "Let's Be Lively".

A friend who read that text was incredibly moved by it.
To my surprise, without me even knowing, they had even consulted someone else about the illustrations.

Thanks to that, something like a small booklet was made, but
I never quite reached the point of "properly binding it into a book."

And before I knew it, years had passed,
and while I kept thinking, "I want to properly give it shape someday,"
I couldn't draw the illustrations the way I wanted to, so I just left it as it was.

But now, we have AI, don't we?

Even if I can't draw,if I convey my thoughts, I can create illustrations together with it.

So I decided to renew that work once more!

The old version had a bit too many kanji, and
my feelings at the time were perhaps a bit too intense.

So, to make it fit who I am now,I will rewrite it all in hiraganato make it softer.

Ultimately, I'm also consideringKindle publishing,
and I plan to make it by fully utilizing ChatGPT and Canva (paid version)◎

If there is anyone else who thinks, "I want to try making a picture book with AI!" too,
let's definitely do our best together!

Also, if you have any advice like, "I recommend this way of proceeding!"
I would be very happy if you could let me know🌱
