I have completely forgot what day it was today, and was reminded by people on the rincord, so i quickly made a lil drawing for Miss Manager @zoeymane.bsky.social
as a mini knight zoey !
anyways-
Happy Birthday !!!
(three versions with slight diferrence just cuz i can lol)
CUTEπ₯Ή
felt like putting these two together would be thematically similar, so here's @zoeymane.bsky.social, Rin Penrose's manager and @ashtaric.bsky.social, RTGame's editor! they've both been really nice to me and do an amazing job each so this was long overdue :)
so like, things happened on the rincord, which led to me drawing miss manager Zoey Skull Emoji as a knight
no clue how to tag this so i'll just- #inkpaintrose #laimuart
- this, but a humble repost, cuz, im bad at tagging -
(also, here's my other sketches for it as a bonus???)
Some peers recently encouraged me to consider opening consultations to the public
As I'm not considering any more full-time clients (barring exceptional cases), how many people would be interested in one-time consultations to answer specific questions and give specific advice?
3D World Makers!
I'm currently on the lookout for some world creators who are able to make 3D environments for VTubers to use in their content
If you have experience, feel free to show off a bit of your work so I can make sure I know who you are for future reference!
we're doing this now and yes this is indeed the rin fact of the day
did you guys know that if you have a membership to the Rin Penrose channel on youtube you too can witness premium content such as uh
me.
me doing reaction content to BBC shows of questionable quality.
tonight, even.
is this really what the people want????????
nobody will believe it but I didn't actually title this one
(thanks kyro u a real oomf)

add to the long list of lessons learned over the last couple months
never set an "unrealistic goal" for a "funny joke tweet" that will have "no consequences" because apparently people *will* reach it just to spite you
wait what
π¦ HEY GUESS WHAT. π¦
I tire of YouTube Shorts. It is now the era of YouTube LONGS. WATCH MY THIRTY MINUTE YOUTUBE VIDEO
youtu.be/t34oc8dxHHc
every time I log in to do some work on one of my clients' accounts I am reminded of my plight
did you guys know, aside from the funny British VTuber widely known for her Youtube Shorts I also work with another VTuber
...who is also British and widely known for her Youtube Shorts... oh...
anyway that OTHER one (Limealicious) just uploaded a new video you should go watch

ok so what have we learned over the last hour:
obviously we can't do certain things like violate legal agreements, but there's a lot that viewers just have no idea about that goes on behind closed doors
we both think it's a bit insane that in this industry the average person sees so much yet so little at the same time
I was talking with a former VTuber corpo executive and we both basically landed on "it'd be kinda funny if we did a q+a and shared war stories from our corpo days"
Would any of you be interested in something along those lines? What kind of questions would you like answers to?
Just 3 days left to get your marketable Rin Penrose plushie!
Remember that this is the ONLY Rin plushie made with Rin's personal seal of approval!
(also if we sell a few more we genuinely might sell as many as the "let's go gambling" plushie which would be really funny to me)
Rin is announcing the winners for the #RincordBanner contest today too!
Reminder for everyone taking part that the Rincord Banner contest is coming to a close, deadline for entries is the 11th December!
If you want to win one of Rin's Makeship plushies, this is your chance as everyone placing 1st-3rd will receive a code to get one for free!
Beyond excited to announce that in addition to my work with Rin, I'm going to be working with @limealicious.bsky.social helping her with management behind the scenes!!!
Looking forward to helping her bring more awesome projects to life in the new year!
average interaction with my boss
(the pfp looks weird bc I sent it on my personal account so I edited it in paint whoops)
At 2000 plushies sold I'm taking over Rin's channel and there's not a damn thing she can do about it
Oh wow thank you so much this is so cool!!!
Fanart of @zoeymane.bsky.socialπthe manager for @rinpenrose.bsky.socialπ. #inkpaintrose. #animeart #vtuber #vtubermanager #fanart #blahaj.
Obviously there's more to it and there's a lot of nuance and skills to learn beyond the basics.
But it's very disheartening to see how low the bar is for management in the VTubing space - we should be striving for better instead of simply slapping higher prices on basic services.
I'm often asked "how do you become a talent manager?" and I cannot emphasise enough how simple this job is.
You just need a basic level of competence and organisation, and to care about what you do.
For prior IRL work experience, find a job doing any man/project management.
Tell Rin her nails look slay today (it's true, they do)
anyway, nobody tell Rin I said any of this or she's gonna fire me for being too nice or something lmao
