Comment from Planarico about Clip Studio Paint

I feel that Clip Studio Paint is a globally indispensable tool for creating illustrations as it is relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and the app itself is light in terms of both operation and data. Along with all its features, it also has many materials and tutorials. Moreover, every update adds features that creators want, which makes me feel like it’s always becoming closer to the ideal working environment. I was able to dramatically improve the speed of supervising rough drafts thanks to the Liquify tool, which can edit multiple layers from Ver. 2.0, and Puppet warp, which was implemented in Ver. 4.0.

The session introduced the creative processes and artwork creation for the territory capture game, “Gensou -Yumegokochi- Illusion -Dreamlike-.”



Mr. Seo Seokkyo cited the following reasons for introducing CLIP STUDIO PAINT into their workflow: many employees have experience using CLIP STUDIO PAINT, making it easy to spread within the company; how highly customizable the work environment is due to the wide range of available materials; and how efficiently revisions to commissioned work can be made.

Brushes, 3D models, and distortion tools actually used in production were also introduced.

This talk session focused on the creative process for the artwork for the online game, “NGS”.



The session covered why Clip Studio Paint was chosen for NGS and examples of how it was used for 90% of all art production.



Art director Daizo Kimura talks about Clip Studio Paint’s high degree of customization and tools and how it contributed to the NGS having an art team that could allow for any member to be able to work with the same tool settings easily. “Clip Studio Paint thinks first and foremost about the individual user drawing with a pen in hand, while offering efficient tools invaluable for working in a team. It is indispensable to us.” Kimura commented with this and more.
