Q: When creating a piece, which process takes the most time and which part do you put the most effort into?

The rough (design) and final finishing processes are particularly important.
In reality, you will make adjustments as you go along, but if you can think "this looks good" at the start, it will likely end up being something you like.
I also believe that by carefully writing and reviewing during the finishing stage, we can make the product as good as possible.

Q: What thoughts or messages did you put into this work?

Thanks to you, I have been able to produce several giclee prints, and I wanted to create something that would be different from those while still making use of the classic elements (bikinis and mecha), so I came up with the idea of an illustration of an underwater situation.
As for equipment, we design underwater scooters, fins, etc. based on the situation.
I was also conscious of making the characters appear fleshy, and I went through a lot of trial and error when it came to the skin color, especially underwater.
