We've created a colorization engine to help our artists get through the tedious tasks faster, so they can concentrate on the creative ones.

How does it work?

How does it work?

Our artists can draw and save their character designs, and then use the engine to colorize the saved characters directly into the webtoon panels, on top of line art.


Thanks to this tool, we can automate the color filling and simple shading of character designs, normally done with ClipStudioPaint by clicking on all the areas to be colored. This gives our colorists more time for artistic tasks: retouching, backgrounds, complex shadows, special effects, etc.


This tool, similar in concept to already existing tools found in CSP and Photoshop, was developed in-house by our tech team, and is partly based on AI technologies, trained on our own character designs. The technology and renderings are therefore 100% proprietary, and are used solely to improve the daily work of our colorists.
