this is my first full render work made using csp 5.0 and it's such a blessing.... I can edit colors & liquify on multiple layers, the file size with timelapse record on only reaches 100mb-ish (usually it takes up to 1gb), and smart shape saved a ton of time lining

but the setback I mentioned above is that I had to start all over again when I only had 2 days left. why? because I accidentally made it too similar to banri's bd card 😭

I WAS ALREADY SO FAR IN THE LINING-

this is how it's supposed to look like. I set (?) the 3d models myself with some ideas/references from pinterest without even thinking to check other cards first. it's only waaay later when I looked for outfit reference from the others when I found this out 😭🔫

I consulted a friend and they said it's fine, it's an honest mistake, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. what if it'll come across as tracing or heavy referencing? I decided to play it safe and just remake it, knowing I needed to sacrifice details/quality because I had to speedrun it in two days

still, I end up liking the new version o)-( altho I probably over detailed the cakes lol

also the typography behind is my failed attempt on using affinity ehehe 🤸‍♀️ the masking selection was horrible and my laptop almost exploded just from running it so maybe I'll just try using csp, as insane as it sounds

anyway, I'm glad to live long enough to witness another birthdaykage! thank you for existing and making my worst time so far much more bearable. even just looking at the moon gives me reassurance because of you, chikage 😊
