Hi hi!!

Chae here!!

This book is a compilation of all my haikyuu artworks for my fanfics, quick sketches, surges of inspiration and story prompts I may never actually write.

With posting art, I'll be explaining how I made the art piece and giving some tips, although I'm not that good at digital art qwq You can ask me any question and I'll reply as long as I know the answer xD


Anywayssss~~~


For the new readers reading The Male Empress, I'm sure you weren't able to see the first book cover of TME. I actually also drew the first cover of TME, although I used Ibis Paint X to draw this one.

Canvas size: 700 x 1100 px

For shadows, I used "multiply" and for highlights I used "add" and "screen".



Tbh this cover was really pretty!!!



Buuuut it doesn't fit the theme of the story. I felt like it was too bright.


Any questions you have regarding digital art, just comment whatever it is and I'll try to answer as soon as I can.
