Dev Update Small update on Lila’s Haunting: Echoes of the Vengeful Spirit
I wanted to be a bit more transparent about something in my workflow. Sometimes, when I’m stuck visualizing a scene or a pose, I use AI-generated references to help me “see” what I’m trying to draw. I don’t copy/paste anything, but I’ve caught myself relying on tracing in a few cases to understand the structure before adding my own details. I’m still drawing everything myself, but I’m aware this puts me in a bit of a gray area, and I’m trying to improve and rely less on it over time. The main reason is honestly just this: Sometimes I can’t fully picture certain scenes in my head, even with multiple references. The AI just helps me bridge that gap so I can keep moving forward. That said, I still care a lot about making this project feel like mine, and I’m actively working on building my skills so I don’t depend on that step as much. I’m curious how other artists feel about this kind of process, especially in indie comics/manga. No pressure or judgment — just genuinely looking for thoughts while I keep working on it. Slowly. Lazily. But seriously. Thanks for reading. 💙
