Ransom ✨ LIVE2D COMM FORMS OPEN!!

For Pride month this year I'm introducing #Live2DPride!!
#Live2DPride is a hashtag for queer artists and riggers to promote their own work and show some love to the people who make up the backbone of the vtuber community! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

highkey my worst nightmare bc i hate confrontation but i wouldnt want to look like i support things like that (TT)

PRACTICAL GLUE APPLICATION:
Connecting layers from two differently moving parts!

I use this in almost every model I work on!

Personally, what matters most to me is how toggles look in my portfolio;
I enjoy when my clients take full advantage of their models, but if they don't then I'm not upset about it or anything :3c (especially since I'm usually pretty aware of what toggles will and wont get used)

Sitting toggles are my personal favorite gimmick, I've admired them for ages before it started picking up as a trend TwT

I'm sorry to all the riggers plagued with sitting requests as of late because of me LOL

SO REAL LMAO
I ended up delaying opening comms again by a whole year because I went "Yeah, I can get models done in two weeks and work on multiple things at once..."
^ Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

Feeling motivated after months and months of not is a dangerous thing lol

As I'm recovering from burnout, I find myself having to fight the "I'm on top of the world, I'm gonna accept everything!" impulse that grabs me, because that's what put me in this situation in the first place... TwT

To the riggers in my audience, if you end up accepting any models like these, please ensure you're charging an amount that reflects the effort you'll be putting in!

Toggle compatibility issues pile up VERY quickly, and I myself have also underestimated the work required a LOT...

The amount of time+stress required to work on a single feature-heavy model can often lead to burnout.

Recently, many riggers I know have been advocating for vtubers to split up their toggles into separate updates! A few core ones on debut, then more distributed down the line.

Most "gimmick" features (Walk, lean, 90 degree, etc.) have a LOT of complicated compatibility issues with arm toggles, expressions, etc!!

As this "feature creep" has advanced, I've seen more and more riggers opt to only accept models with a small amount of features on debut.
