It's 4 am at this time of publishing idk why I'm still up or how but I'll take this moment to ease this request out after like 13 hours of editing HSHWHWH

time taken could've been shorter if only I stopped fretting too much about details but since it's all done here they are!

I was thinking of using a psd or filter, but I think it would take away from the vibe hence why you're not seeing much difference (specially in cover 2)

Now here's a bunch of dissection since I worked on the details and I want to give them a spotlight

Pretty straightforward given the scene requested, I think I only had difficulties with the coloring since I wasn't satisfied with the base. Time taken should be like 3+ hrs at most

This one was the reason my overall editing time took 13 hrs HSHWHWH I was given an alternate scene that would be much easier to recreate but I chose this one setup because it sounded like a great scene + the example cover was nice

basically what made this take such a long time was because I had to clean up a lot of parts from the background (the mirror frame, the flowers, the wall) and because I was manip-ing just about everything

For the adult ver, I just had this pic of Moondae and Cheongryeo, mixed them together and changed his hair and eye color.

For the baby, I couldn't find a good and fitting pic of a baby from a webtoon so I ran to picrew, generated a pic of the top part and then used gakuen babysitter babies as reference to draw the bottom most part.

Then I spent a lot of time trying to match their styles as much as I can so none of them looked out of place when I sic them on the canvas together

Another reason I took long with this was because MY TYPOGRAPHY SUCKED ASS

+ other trials I deleted off the face of the earth; I was trying to be experimental but everything just looked wrong to me, and so I played it safe by picking a modern-ish looking font. Then I changed the alignment to the center since the visual balance felt off whenever I put it to the right. Would've worked if I had more stuff at top left but I didn't want to overcrowd it so I settled with the center.

I think I jinxed myself last year saying college hasn't been kicking my ass so now It's absolutely kicking my ass; I apologise again bc this took so so very long 😭😭
