Yeah so I may have a problem with Live2D Cubism lol I need to stop! I do have a lot of mixed feelings about all of this. What do you think? Music by @SweetsRia
Yeah I'm the same way, I want to make all my assets. But I was already taking art commissions, and using a png during my art streams. So I'll probably just do my own thing. There's sadly a lot of tourists. But lots of my friends are vtuber. Just small streamers. ^^ we're streamers that use png/L2D instead of face cam.^^ But I also understand, it also eats a lot of time. My webcomic is on an indefinite hiatus because I stink so much into stuff. You could try taking commissions for others, so you get to create but you don't have to use the result yourself^^ but at the end of the day, it's good that you look after yourself. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing! Good luck!
Yo this is a totally justified feeling! Something I realized while trying to figure out what the deal with my channel was ended up being incredibly simple: Only I can make the content that I make. That may sound like an oversimplification but the truth is, trying to make your content fit in a specific category (like v-tubing for example) would make you "just another ______" So don't worry about how your channel or OC changes. It's an evolution and you are using your creativity to make something unique to you! I think it can confidently be said that each iteration of your character has continually gotten better and your designs are improving with each one. No need to feel guilty about expressing your creativity! Keep going! Looking forward to the overwatch video 🤘
I dislike Vtubers so I absolutely understand where you're coming from. I guess I feel different about this avatar because you made it yourself; it has a charm that regular overdesigned vtubers don't have. Also it was really nice to see the design progress and different iterations of your avatar. You really are prolific. I can only aspire.
And to add on: I had my png, then redesigned for a more thought out look. Then I rebranded since I realised it's not the best to just have my name out there. So new name for my artistsona, new name for the streamer "me". And that live2D model I made, now has a separate channel from me, the artist. And I doubt I'll change her design. Because when I look back through VoDs, I get all giddy and stare at her/myself and laugh at my own jokes xD. I hope to get better at making models. But not to make myself an endless line of models. I'm learning so I can one day take commissions^^
Oh I completely understand the giddiness of looking at what you made. I have a few videos (mainly my Unexpected Race video) that I'm so proud of I keep re-watching it. I'm certain I'm half the views on that video lol One of biggest unfortunate reasons why I have to make myself take a break is honestly I easily hurt my hand a LOT and if I want to get it better or prevent pain I had to cut it off. It's the biggest reason why I took down my commission sheet and status, but that's fine honestly. It means that when I make something new it's purposeful and mostly for my personal education on a skill. Also I think that you absolutely will get better at commissions. My current model looks more fluid and professional more than my earlier ones, it'll take time but I'm absolutely certain you'll get there if you keep going and studying other models.
I feel that, vtubers are not a bad thing. But, i get it, the community is very toxic and etc. And being label one comes with many bad things related to it. At the same time, if you like live 2d and want to continue learning and creating new cool stuff. Go for it, girl. It's not a label that will stop you for doing what you like.🎉
