MAKING ONE RN ITS SO FRUSTRATING AS AN ARTIST THAT RARELY USES ONE LAYER FOR ALL RENDERING

[@Yoiyonene]

serious respect for those who make vtuber models, I touched a program for it once and I am scarred for life

[@astraamarante6233]

You gotta have a touch of masochism to be able to withstand such a grueling process. Luckily (or not) for me, I am such a person, and will eventually be making my own vtuber, even though I made 2 videos years ago... Lol But not before I go through a rigorous anatomy study. And you can see where the masochism piles up and makes for a procrastinator with too many projects...

[@AmiAsterieVT]

​@astraamarante6233 Good luck on your project!!! Live 2d is actually super fun but I agree you must have a lot of free time and courage to start learning it... you will both succeed in your journey I am sure 💜🫶🏻🪼🥹

Man, I can’t imagine how much patience someone must have in order to create a vtuber and just imagine working on a model and when you zoom out you just see a random line that’s not on the current layer. I have so much respect I have for people who make vtubers.

[@N30Nst4r]

No hate but, you should change your pfp. Y3LLOW made that for someone who paid money for it, it wouldn’t be fair for you to just take it for free

I also respect v tubers. Like, I am making a model right now, and it's taking me so long, like it's been, I don't know 2 months, and that's just the model, not the rigs (Side note) I am just 14 years old, by the way

[@G0LDENgold]

This might be one of the best Vtuber models I’ve ever seen

[@Tyuf_]

the model is ✨ GORGEOUS ✨ omg, this really puts into perspective how much hard work it takes just to even prepare to rig a model, props

[@Cat_fts]

Hanacue: "this is not a tutorial" procedes to explain things perfectly and better than many tutorials I saw xD

[@mae_j]

The emotion rigging is actually insane. It is so expressive and the labor you put into this model is so evident! I cannot wait to see more!!

[@Corejanjan]

I knew you were making the model since we've haven't heard from you for months. I just knew that this model will take MONTHS to make. This shit is hard and honestly the thousands of dollars people pay for one of these custom models are well worth the effort the artist/rigger puts in.

[@hakaze6269]

i have so much respect for you and all other artists who create and animate vtuber models. it’s definitely not easy, but the final results are worth it considering how gorgeous a lot of these vtuber models are. idk how much these artists set the prices for selling and creating custom vtuber models, but i have no doubt in mind they deserve to get paid a lot for everything they put into creating this!

[@silvermoon808]

I was literally speechless at the end THE EFFORT PAYED OFF TENFOLD!! Your work is BREATH TAKING girlie you inspire me so much!!!

[@takimi_nada]

for the weird white line when you clip the face shadow to the face color, you can fix this in your art program too! simply make a really thin line of the shadow color ON your face color layer (i make it a bit thicker just in case) and it'll go away :D if your eyes are symmetrical in shape, you can also mirror the eye movement and adjust it afterwards if it doesn't look right. for this select all your eye-related deformers and meshes, copy+paste, then while you still have everything you pasted selected, right click on the selected layers on the canvas portion of your screen and select the last option "reflect". it'll give you a window to "reflect motion" and you'll wanna reflect all X motion except eyeball X (otherwise it'll look cross-eyed). click ok and boom you've reflected your eye! if your eyes are different colors but you haven't used the mesh to rig eye movement, you can just insert the meshes for the different eye into the correct deformers once you've mirrored the eye!

[@call_mebecca]

I’ve been so scared to even START on my Vtuber model but I got halfway in and now I’m practicing live2D with a free model. Thank you for the push Hanacue!!!! I love your work so much! 💖💘💕

[@hanacue]

U got this!! 🌸

[@call_mebecca]

@@hanacue thank you so much!!!!! 💕💕💕

[@brujamadness5200]

as i was reading i saw the hearts pop up😭

[@JeramyArt]

For things like eyes, if they're symmetrical, you can just rig 1 eye then copy and paste it, then right click and hit reflect (don't forget to reflect the X parameters too). You basically get your second eye perfectly symmetrical! This saves a bit of time and stress in trying to make the eyes look perfect, especially with head angles. If your eye highlights aren't reflected, just don't reflect it and move it for each angle. Good job on your model! I love your art.

[@4tarobyte]

17:05 jsyk, light years measures distance, not time! 🙏 super cute model!! I love seeing your super-shimmery art. thanks for sharing your process!! it makes the idea of rigging seem less intimidating

[@CallMeMelllow]

OMG Hana you are a Live2D Goddess!!!! I cannot believe how good your model has turned out so far, she is so expressive and bubbly I am simply obsessed! I love the new mouth tracking, it really breathes so much extra life into your Vtuber, and as someone who dabbled lightly into rigging, I KNOW just how hard this must have been. 300 LAYERS?!! Girl, Id combust...

[@xmeeelox]

THIS IS LITTERALLY THE BEST VTUBER MODEL IVE EVER SEEN ITS SO PRETYYY

[@baixuea]

Thanks so much for these videos! I'm just starting the process of learning how to make vtuber models. I'm disabled, and in very recent years, it's become apparent that I wont be able to work normal jobs, so I want to try making this wickedly cool art form a new source of income eventually. It embodies all of my favorite things about art, and the thought of doing it makes me so excited! Your videos have been incredibly informative and helpful for understanding the basics of what it takes to build a model, without getting into too much detail for a beginner and becoming overwhelming. They really show just how much work goes into every step, and it's already made me appreciate it so much more, and I think I can go into this journey more confident than before. This has all given me a renewed love for character art I didn't even realize I needed. Also, its funny seeing Milanote sponsor this. I just started using it a few days ago after seeing it mentioned on Twitter as an alternative to Trello for artists looking for a way to show their current queue with clients in real time. I've already fallen in love with it and I'm using it to document my journey of learning vtuber model creation so that I can help people learn too later down the road, like you are. It really is a fun little website, I absolutely recommend it!

[@R3ennn]

The end V-Tuber is going to look is so pretty ! !

[@qmwauu]

This process seems absolutely crazy. You make them for other people how much would this cost? This looks like at least a good 1-2k spent because this is gorgeous

[@PaolaPonce-ec7tm]

When the world needed her the most Hanacue returned

[@maiyaallred3992]

I have so much respect for v-tuber artists! Having to build a character with such elaborate designs and rig it all just sounds overwhelming! And into of that you have a painterly look so you're blending a ton which would burn me out. She looks amazing excited for pt3

[@noimdirt]

UWAHH SHE'S SO EXPRESSIVE!!!! I really loved seeing the process and especially how it turned out :D

RAAAAAHH 🔥🔥

[@Mon_Akuryo]

The shiny and sparkly details made me smile uncontrollably at this part 37:17 i might get addicted to watching the clip of the model and future videos with the model just because of how much happiness it's giving me...

[@Yoitsxirii]

THE EVER AFTER HIGH EXAMPLE FAVE ME SO MANY MEMORIES 😭😭 (I LOVED THIS SHOW SM)

[@AlarkiusJay]

I can never get over the fact that all the art you make is so pretty ! Keep doing good Hanacue

[@KellLucia]

Your Vtuber looks absolutely stunning I love the style and shading 🤗

[@0209LLL]

She’s just stunning!!! Surely the most exquisite model I’ve ever seen

[@chuiga2935]

Mad respect to anyone who first draws their model and then cuts it. I usually just draw different parts on different layers and just separate things like left leg/ right leg. I feel like there's much less work that way. I guess benefit of cutting art later is that can look more cohesive or something? This was so entertaining video and good refresh of live2d as I'm going to rig my model soon. Your model looks absolutely gorgeous! Your artstyle is lovely and soft and cute! can't wait to see your model with hair physics, she's gonna look divine!

[@pahewai7537]

Awww she’s so cute. I love her. Perfect soft reveal 💚🤍

[@nedyaski]

Ahh these videos give me so much motivation to draw in general and to rig my own model ❤😭

[@Autumn_moon-01]

Omg the facial expression during the soft reveal were absolutely adorable!

[@MikaHyx]

I loooooove when vtubers have loads of expressions. It makes it way more realistic and nice to watch. So seeing you make these facial expressions is soooo nice 😭🫶

[@CappiTek]

Those reveal angles and expressions!! You absolutely crushed it!! So hype hype hype for part 3 (but definitely take your time and breaks in between! )

[@michellemartinez3087]

You are my artist role model! And love watching all the hard work you do. This video may of took long time to come out but I just happily watch drawing video over and over. And now I'll watch this one over and over till the next part. You can see all the love you put in your art. I love it and you ❤

[@abandonedchannel]

with how scarily detailed this vtuber is, i’d really die even trying to separate all that. goooddd jobbbb

[@Lynxx_offlineee]

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO 4 TIMES ALREADY THIS IS SOOO GOODD I feel very refreshed with new info from this video and I can finally make the eyes of my model look good!!

[@캐럿CHICK]

aaa literally just rewatched the drawing process the other day and now this came out, amazing work hanacue!

[@turingtestingmypatience]

If anyone's looking through the tutorial models for VTuber help - you'll get the most mileage out of Mao IMO. Mao has physics, simple toggles, fancy special effects, blendshapes, all sorts of fancy stuff that'd work perfectly for the kind of model you're after.

[@humanSandwichh]

HANA YOU ATEEEE, i loved everything, from the actual process to you giving yourself a break and all the advice given throughout the video 😭❤ i almost cried seeing the soft reveal, i was so proud n happy for you. It turned out so well. Keep going 😤💙

I'm so happy that you take so much care in not letting yourself get burnt out. Your doing a great job and I'm very excited to see it finished!

[@Mery-ug5st]

This model looks gorgeous! 🥺 I really think you should add augmentation movement to the head (a little tip from another live2d artist), it will make it look more bouncy and even more cute (even if it seems impossible at this point hahah)

[@KawaiiMuski]

You said this isn't a tutorial but you literally gave me so many tips I didn't hear anywhere else I've only watched some of your videos but I really like the formats!! You're also one of the only ones I've used sponsor links for, like with unvale too, which is mainly because the sites sound super cool and I'm glad I learned about them through you! tldr; i like you you're my frien now
