Made an update video taking about what i have planned for my vtuber model and future streams! Also figured it would be good to have a youtube channel for any videos i make in the future. #vtuber #envtuber youtu.be/o_HuBirZnXU

"oh ill make a quick update video" i said. here i am 8 hours later still working on it lol

Debut Stream starting at 12PM PST at www.twitch.tv/tonicseal #vtuber #ENvtuber

A little pre-debut video showing off my model. Not perfect by any means but im proud of this janky little thing lol. Debut Stream either tomorrow or the day after. The plan is to either draw some more parts for my model or draw the last of the Dr stone characters i was gonna draw #vtuber #animeart

Made and account for my Vtuber @tonicseal.bsky.social plan to debut the Beta model tomorrow on www.twitch.tv/tonicseal The temptation to debut on April 1 is very appealing to me. But i also have an appointment that day so it depends on how I'm feeling. #vtuber

Stream over! As i get into the weeds of things there is honestly a lot i want to redo, i plan to finish this model and then go back and redo a ton of parts and add some new ones. then ill probly re-rig the whole thing lol.(thats why im ok with it looking a little NPCish) #vtuber #envtuber #animeart

Im streaming more Vtuber animation! im in a sea shanty mood so ill be playing a bunch of those, pretty fitting for a seal tho lol. #Live2D picarto.tv/TonicSeal

Today's progress on my Vtuber model! The face really is the most dense area so theres a lot to do, but i figured out how to make ears tuck behind the head so thats cool! No stream today as i wasnt feelin great #vtuber #ENVtuber #Live2D

LOOK AT MY BOI STRUT IM SO HAPPY!!! #vtuber #live2d #animeart (no i didnt just make this post but take it down because i forgot gifs only work if you upload them as videos shush)

So something i found out in Live2D is there is something called Paste Form Special. its a bit of a pain to figure out but you can paste one deform to another, which is a huge time saver since i have quite a few parts split into left and right that function the same #live2D

Stream over. Didn't get too much done today, kinda hitting a wall, i think im starting to feel the effects of burn out lol

my cat insists i pay attention to him but im trying to stream lol

Starting a Stream if people want to see me try to figure out live2D! #live2D #Vtuber picarto.tv/TonicSeal

I dont even know with my spotify recommended anymore

Proof That ive gotten smarterer #live2D #vtuber #animeart

The amount of times Ive restarted my Live2D project is like 8+ and Ive restarted parts even more. If you decide to start rigging my advice is just to: make mistakes, make something bad, and then start over. The work you put in isn't lost, because its work you put into yourself. #Live2D

Take 2! Apparently when uploading Gifs it needs to be uploaded as a video! ahem, yadda yadda progress, not very visual. BUT i made a test animation with the face base and body! SO PROGRESS! #Vtuber #animeart

Getting ready to stream my first attempt at Live2D after a little bit of poking around, not sure if itll be interesting be feel free to stop by :3c #vtuber #animeart picarto.tv/TonicSeal

So a lot of progress was made on my Vtuber model! Most was quite boring and consisted of changing layer names into a robust labeling system. Very tedious. But i also got the shading and highlights done so visually i think its complete! The next Goal is basic Live2D Tracking. #vtuber #animeart

An interesting Feature of Live2D is the ability to reimport PSD files to change existing textures or add new ones. I was curious how someone would add things after the model was made as i didnt see in PNG import function. I think i get the jist of Live2D now tho, just gotta make the animations.

90% of Vtuber tutorials be like "ok heres how to draw, now hire someone to rig it"

I Split up a couple more things on my Vtuber model before finally finding a way to export it effectively. Since i used Krita to draw it its a little weird about layers. I ended up exporting the layers as individual images. Lucky since i was so specific about naming everything its super organized!
