Forgotten Friday #315 - くまの仔ちゃん / Kuma no Kochan

 going slower than Wiki Wednesday went...

Forgotten Friday #315 - くまの仔ちゃん / Kuma no Kochan

I swore, I had covered this UTAU before. The design felt really familiar. But I searched my blog and there was not even a Kuma in sight! I even searched my clips for blog folder for Kuma. Nothing!

Kuma is a female pink bear. I ran her readme through Google translate and thought there must have been a mistranslation. Why would she eat tissues?? The next line said that she likes to eat things that aren't food. Oh, okay! That makes sense.

Who is Kumano Kochan?

Art Tutorial - Easy Painterly Anime Skin

 I got into art again.

Something that really annoyed me was that I just couldn't figure out how artists got the skin to look the way that they do. 

I don't have all of the answers! But I do have a workflow that can get you some pretty nice results!

Credit to Fungzau on YouTube for making the videos that taught me this.

Forgotten Friday #314 - 閖音ロウ / Yurine Rou

So hi! I love the Visual Archive with a passion. I want to set it up so that Forgotten Friday is from the visual archive and wiki Wednesday is from the Wikis.

It's a bit of a struggle because that leaves me dependent on the Internet Archive... The service that is constantly under attack and pretty slow. It's a struggle, but I have my mind set.

Another Bit of housekeeping. I had a feeling that people are sick of my tester USTs. I just use the same ones over and over and over... Wiki Wednesday has been scheduled out until 2026, so those use my previous batch of testers. I made like 20 unique tester USTs that I'll try to use for this! I might dip into my old USTs from like... The year 2020, but I'll avoid using the stuff I wore out for the 2025 Wiki Wednesday articles. 

Rou is a stubborn woman who seems to be really bad with money.
