Yeah I think you're thinking of contrast and limiting the pallet which is also a solid idea.

Yeah, I agree that one's closest to the vibe, but they're all missing something. I'll try and go that direction but mix things up more, thanks!

I'm trying to rough out a character design for a new vrc marketplace model.

It's meant to be a more edgy early 2000's shonen character like in Yugioh but I'm trying to nail down the color pallet. Anyone have preferences?

Thanks for the kind reactions!

Iโ€™ve got room to take on more VTuber / VRChat avatar work right now if anyone's looking!

Yeah youโ€™re totally right! There are other uses.
I was being a bit presumptuous and snobby about it, sorry.
I mainly meant, unless you have a specific purpose for it, just using an expensive suit doesn't add as much as people think it does and just tracking the hands is usually plenty to look good

Yeah, people are weird about mocap for vtubing. There's really no need unless you're straight up doing a concert. Most streams involve sitting at the computer so you can just get away with tundra trackers on your wrists and that'll already look really good and even that's overkill.

Merry Christmas after all. Yes, this is a re-run, but in my defense
she is one high-quality reindeer.

As someone who's been there, good luck, it's really hard but super rewarding! Make sure you make progress every day, even if it's just 5 minutes worth and figure out a version control solution like github, I wish I'd known about that sooner.

I look forward to seeing what you make!

Allow me to introduce Leah Pard, my first @vrchat.com marketplace avatar!

Sheโ€™s now available for PCVR (good performance) and Quest (medium performance).

You can find her by searching "Leah Pard" in the vrc store avatar tab in-game

I just finished doing some lighting checks with this marketplace avatar I've been working on and as expected she looks right at home in the snow.

I've been working on an avatar for the @vrchat.com avatar marketplace lately and she's coming along pretty dang well!
I still have a bit more to go but she should be done sometime next week. She should have a medium performance rating on the quest.

Did a little watercolor painting of a random vrchat shot Kiwo got of Acejay back in like 2019. I just always liked the vibe of it. Weirdly serene.

What's this? An official trailer for the Milworm (Marcus) avatar in @vrchat.com ?!?!

Been awesome to see how many people both inside and out of VRChat have gotten to enjoy @acejaystudios.bsky.social 's worm thanks to Roflgator & Jouffas skits.

I randomly came across this animation I made for a contest a couple years ago, still pretty proud of it. I should really do more short atmospheric things like this more often.

When making Zero's helmet from Code Geass, I really wanted the back part to fold up just like the helmet does in the movies.

If you're a Windows user having issues where Warudo just straight up crashes when you launch it, try running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode.

I found that info on reddit and just wanted to pay it forward!

Also just a handful of technical things I really like:
-Gradients that overlay on the screen, usually from the corners or top edge
- Direction edge lights on the characters
-Flat framing
-Bloom, generally only in the bg
-A lot of backlighting
-Very flat texture painting on char, more detail on bgs
