Every time you upload an artwork, it's even better than the previous one. You are really improving your skill, no doubt about that! The details are marvelous and those red "elements"... reminds me of Mirror's Edge, somehow
Happy to hear about a new visual novel from Dischan. Looks promising

I would, but feng zhu (fzdschool on youtube) already does them way better than me. I use a lot of the same techniques, but he does them better than I do.
