NaNoRenO – Yoshioka ~Day 7~
She’s alive! Well, not really. I had a practice turning the currently unfinished Aoi sprite into the individual parts required for animation to work. I definitely made some…

NaNoRenO – Yoshioka ~Day 21~

NaNoRenO – Yoshioka ~Day 3~

NaNoRenO – Yoshioka ~Day 15~
Continuing on from where we left off before the break, let’s check in on the current state of Aoi’s sprite. I’ve talked about the pose switching before, but…
NaNoRenO – Yoshioka ~Day 10~
