Tried a mildly seductive design.

Just a warm-up.

Originally this was just a test to see how the character illustration would look, but I ended up expanding the whole scene as the logic unfolded.

It was really fun to draw, but it drifted away from my initial goal —
to make the character stand out (and, honestly, to make something that could sell).

Still need more trials.

My next personal project I can talk about publicly is - how to change my ability into bread I need.

As you may think — yes, this is basically what freelancers do. But still, it can be seen as a puzzle that needs to be solved.

Let’s take a look and see if I can figure out a way to make some creative money through a project-solving SOP.

According to a simple investigation (I checked some platforms that creators often use and summarized the most popular characteristics a product should have), if I can fulfill one of the values below, I can make some money:

- emotion value

- knowledge value

- community connection value

I’ll do all three anyway. But I tend to start from the one I’m most good at — ideation.

So I want to be a role that turns users’ OC (original character) s into real paintings. I’ll start from simple character design, as you can see in the picture.

For more money, I’ll set levels in my service system — but that’s a future talk, not now.
