Hey Loish! This was a wonderful Q&A, thank you so much for another great session 😄 I just wanted to mention that the volume is very quiet though, I had to listen to it with my headphones and computer volume at 100%, and everything else I listen to at that volume is deafening haha. If possible for next time, I'd turn up the volume output about 60% more and that should be good 🙂

thanks for this question! I've added it to the list for next month!

thank you for hosting this new Q&A Loish!✿ something that I'm really curious about and would like to ask for the next session is about your concept art / character design works Do your clients provide you with references of what they want or they just tell you a very general idea of what they're going for? Part of the work includes reaseaching on your own to create the concepts? Like looking for fabrics, historical costuming and facial features?
