Slumbaby | Vtuber Artist + Rigger

Been trying to be more creative and make my own lace designs lately >.<

Live2D is the ONLY creative ecosystem where artist's only options are either sharing their entire raw working project file, or a black box moc3 that cannot be touched by anyone ever again. This is NOT normal. This is an artificial situation caused by Live2D being closed.

Why this is: The cmo3 file is like liquid gold. As a rigging artist giving your cmo3 someone can: - reuse +mass reproduce your work file for other models or their own commissions. - Mass produce your file and profit off of your work - Take your techniques and your style - The credit will become confusing when a model that no longer looks like the original rig is still credited. Rigging is a technical art form. Most people don’t know the time and personal techniques that are put into models. A lot of big name rigging artists don’t show how reproduce their style because in rigging style is everything and what sets you apart. If someone gets a cmo3 and literally can reproduce all the rigging artists hard work spent on it. Even to the point of mass selling it on a larger scale or using it for their own commissions- the rigging artist is the only one who gets hurt. You pay for a cheeseburger at a restaurant but you don’t pay to know the recipe.

This is the first time a mouth has worked perfectly with a fang for me with 0 adjustments, my luck is strong today 🤗

I love seeing how the final render compares to the initial sketch!

Color mapping vtuber hair is not only a good technique to make sure your art has enough hair for rigging, but it also looks cool af. Ironically I feel like when it comes to short hair I end up drawing way more layers than long hair. 😅

NEW CHILD NEW CHILD NEW CHILD

@RaggyChiffon The crop....

It's pretty crazy to see them both side by side 😳

The state of Live2D when you're 90% done with a rig

@NotthaMomma45 LOL

@Slum_bb Explanation: you are a jelly. Jellies have no brains and therefore feel no pain. Next try a whole scotch bonnet

This stuff ain't spicy at all, drank the whole dang sauce packet. This does not provide the spice I crave despite SIX WHOLE PEPPERS on the packaging. SIX!!!!

If you have a hard time making live2D meshes this little button is a lifesaver, makes the points way easier to work with!

I used to hate rendering vtuber hair but lately it's therapeutic. I'm gonna animate this one extra fluffy 🌟 🐑

Ima start posting again, ya'll pretend I've been posting regularly all this time ok?

Model testing is going well, she feels very expressive! 😊

@fawnuna yep thats fine!

@Slum_bb Yay!! Where do you want me to put it in? Your normal illustration one?

TY for the vgen commission @/EmbersVT!! This one was a blast! Vgen link in thread 👇️

sample of my mouth tracking from my last stream! i do less face acting when the phone is horizontal so it's less strain on my face (and jaw) :D

@fawnuna Yeah!

@Slum_bb Would you be willing to do a surprise illustration?
