Have you tried PhotoFiltre 7 (it's an older version, prev.) had no layers but other features & as optionally portable software than casually downloaded? It's for 2D-art but can do shadows, texts, backgrounds, etc.
Do you plan that drummer to be like smooth (compared to pokemon movies) or pixelled (similar to pokemon-sprites in first gen. games), instead in chibi-style ...or which type of art in inspiration for the design?
I have not tried that, will have to check it out. I have been trying to do 3d, hence the daz, but as long as it can look good, I am open to anything. During 2020 lockdown, I discovered vns, and realized there is a ton of talent out there. I tend to hang on the more adult ones, as far as some of them that have inspired me? Eternum, ripples, wartribe academy, crimson high, trouble in paradise, companions of darkness and many more. I like the 3d, but the more animated ones are cool too. I cannot draw, so have not attempted the more animated looking 2d ones.
