As a professional rigger, this was a little painful to watch, but i commend the effort!! If you're ever gonna try this again, Heres a big tip; work on the small stuff first, then work your way up! Same with the deformer heirarchy! Also; Z goes above everything else! ALSO, increase your warp deformer divisions if you want more detailed warping!! Art style is 0 issue if you warp right :> the brush selection tool and increased divisions are your friend when it comes to distortion!

[@mica4977]

Utilizing a layer's opacity to hide or bring out said layer is also very helpful! This allows variations of parts to be drawn that can then be morphed into and smoothly transitioned between such as for situations like the mouth & eye blinks. It's the method used for creating more extreme turning angles by drawing a profile and side profile head that can then be morphed and transitioned between.

suggestion for eyes: 1. make the mesh by hand, make the points follow the curve of the actual eyelid so when it is deformed, the program doesnt have a aneurysm. 2. USE THE 4-DIVISION TOOL. it will help the animation SOOOO much. (the auto connect button does too!! i suggest looking up an entire tutorial for mesh making, it takes time but its very helpful!) 3. when using the curve tool, only use as much as you need for the line to follow the eyelid. i usually only use 3-4, and it makes it so much more simple.

I've considered making a v-tuber. I decided my theme would be glitches and bugs, because I thought that'd excuse any flaws I end up with, making the overall project easier. As I think about it though, I realize that, although it doesn't require as much artistic skill, it requires a lot more technical thinking, as well as trying to think of how to randomize changes to the model mid-stream. For the base art, I was thinking of either using either something that's a mix of various generic/default models, OR taking inspiration from MissiongNo. and pulling the base image from junk data, and then rigging the decompressed and rendered junk data as if there's a humanoid there.

[@rubystudios_yt]

Props for being your own illustrator and rigger. I’m no expert in illustrating and I’m definitely not an expert in rigging, but I’m sure it’s not easy. And you did a great job in doing so, the motions are very clean. I hope to see it in debut. Full respect! 🙏

During the adjustments I didn't know whether to laugh at when the characters were flailing around and what I can only describe as "dancing" or be scared by how quickly and unnatural the movements looked. I ended up nervous laughing.

[@ViiLly]

Hi! I just wanted to give a couple live2d tips! If you make other outfits, instead of re-rigging everything from scratch, import the new elements (without the elements that will stay the same) as another psd file and put its layers inside the deformers you use for that part of the body or face. After that, check the movement of the parts on every parameter and move some stuff if needed. I reccomend deleting the physics that have to do with those deformers first though. Also, there is an option to mirror movement! Click the three lines on the parameter window and then there should be an option to mirror after selecting a deformer or a layer. This next tip probably wouldn't work for this avatar, since her eyes aren't the same, but I'll still leave it here for anyone who wants to give live2d a go! After you finish the blinking and smiling for one eye, you can duplicate the layers and the deformers and then flip them to have both eyes blinking, if you also want your model to be able to wink, select the duplicated eye and click the same three lines i talked about before on the parameters window and select the option to move the selected objects to another parameter. The result is the other eye blinking just as well as the first one you made! Hope i explained well and that this helped even just a bit! (If I remember any other tips i would like to give I'll add them in the replies)

[@ViiLly]

For the first tip, you also should probably delete the avatar's clothes from before, or they will overlap. And for the last one, delete the un-used eye (you could also delete it from the start, but I don't recommend it because it acts as a reference to place the duplicated eye)

Here are some fun possible character traits that might give her some life: -If she ever walks, make there be a “clop clop clop” sound -Maybe when shocked she moos? -Her intros start with a boo! -Maybe if there are donations, there can be a cowbell that will always catch her attention -Maybe, since she’s a ghost, she can complain about/ mention the person living the place she haunts?

I've made a Vtuber model before, actually, I'm making a second attempt right now. I use an anime-type style and looking at this cartoony style makes me realise that a cartoony style might need more layer separation for certain parts, maybe drawing the halfway point instead of the default to rigging would be easier later on.

[@SK1TZLESX]

I'm curious, may I see the model?

[@thincut_bacon]

@@SK1TZLESX I'm sorry, I don't know how to show you. But to elaborate, I just mean that when drawing parts, it may be better to draw them at the half way point on default. For example, when drawing eyes, instead of drawing the eyeline/eyelashes when they are open, draw the as a line or half closed so you can transform then more easily. Same goes with the mouth, drawing a straight lined mouth instead of having a smiling mouth on default. And just draw the eyes or mouth shape you want separately as a sketch to base off your parameters.

[@thefishysalmon8749]

For the eyes, I recommend making the mesh for the eyelid really really concentrated with lots of vertices so you can morph it more easily. There’s a great tutorial by Yoshino Art for the eyes that explains eyes really thoroughly.

[@rainingcatsandjune]

quick live2d tip for the chunky lineart vs warp deformer thing!! you can separate the colour and lineart of an object and just put them on the same deformer, then nest another deformer for the lineart. whenever the lineart deforms/doesnt look right, you could always just go back to that lineart deformer, add keyforms to the parameter that you want, then warp it to make it look right! i've seen some live2d riggers separate the lineart so they can manipulate the object look more 3d, i've even experimented with it myself, so I'm sure it can work for your case too!

[@rainingcatsandjune]

i'm just gonna add more tips because I'm procrastinating on my live2d creative awards project,,, the eye line crunching thing could be lessened if you auto mesh it to be more detailed or manually editing the artmesh. alternatively, you could throw the path tool right out the window and just use the warp deformed to squish it into place lol if you want a more detailed mouth/want to be able to lip sync in the future, you could separate each layer of the mouth (mouth inside, tongue, bottom teeth, top teeth, bottom lip, top lip) and form them in the parameters into each vowels. overall, your first ever live2d model looks really really good!! things look in place, minimal shifting, lots of movement, very much better than my first ever model,,,,, can't wait for your next part :D

[@chaosorbCRB]

PLEASE

[@macdonaldsmilkjug5022]

imagine her doing an art stream with Ninomae as their vtuber models

[@safurahh.8093]

She looks so good! I’ve really wanted to make a vtuber model, the task of designing one and learning Live2d scared me so much >.< But your videos on making your model have inspired and motivated me a lot to give it a try òvó

[@logandenton1622]

Omg she looks so good! I hope we get to see cute expression details too! I’d love to see blush and all of that!

[@sofi390]

its cool to see such a unique style in live 2d, i hope more ppl make vtubers in their styless

[@weirdoisbackv2377]

I love the way you draw, and you're so therapeutic to me! Please keep doing what you do! You're amazing!!! You're my idle 💕✨

[@ayayalgueewe9361]

It's such a blast to follow this experience!! I'm genuinely impressed by your dedication, you've always been inspiring to me and this is only another example :) I love everything about her design, and the way her big cartoony eyes move is sooo adorable!

[@skitten02tapp99]

I think I’m going to do this now! Yours looks so good, it inspires me! Also, having a 3rd episode is no problem, at least for me. Honestly, I love it when series like this are in depth enough to have unexpected extra episodes. It’s like a nice surprise to me. Especially when the videos are from some of my favorite KZbinrs. Like you. Keep being amazing! You are an inspiration to me! 😁

[@pandenguinisodd]

This is such a fun process to see. And she looks so so good so far!

[@mystical_stqrr]

if the ghost cow girl had a theme song, it would be ‘moo’

[@cookiekitty194]

Maybe something that might be pretty neat would be a little ear wiggle animation that happens randomly or just soft floppy ears in general?

[@isamuchan-onbreak2116]

I LITERALLY FELT SO MUCH SECONDHAND PRIDE WHEN SHE WAS TESTING THE MOVEMENT Fr tho the design is adorable, the rigging is incredible, especially without the normal anime style Please help me I’m literally in love with this design-

[@furretbell]

Omg she's so adorable. She looks amazing. I love her so much. I'm so excited for part three!!! *I absolutely lost it when the head popped off*

[@elygmexicano]

Can’t wait to see it in action

[@peachnkey]

Hi :D! I've made a few models myself and wrestled with live 2d long enough to have some pretty useful tips in this noggin of mine so I thought i'd share some! I noticed you were having problems with your lineart getting warped? The best way to combat that is to make the meshes yourself instead of having them auto-create at the start. It's SUPER tedious don't get me wrong, but if you carefully surround the inner and outer edges of your lineart before filling the rest in, it will move the lineart a little more independently then the space inside. Following any details or curves in each part, especially in the hair sections, also works really nicely! This is also what prevents your eyes from "crunching"! The more points in the eye area, the better honestly XD although you might want to use LESS of those curvy deform paths since it'll keep things smoother. The "Melting" and weird warping can be helped by editing the amount of points in your warp deformers. If you scroll down in the Inspector tab while having a warp deformer selected, you can change the number of gray points and green points. This is really helpful for stuff you gotta be really precise with when moving. It can be super frustrating when the green points aren't where you need them to be, yknow? You can also use the brush with circles around it tool on the top toolbar! It allows you to move multiple points at once instead of one at a time which feels MUCH more natural to work with. You can also add any images you want as guide images directly into the file itself! To help with confusion on how to handle the face, I honestly just draw out a guide and use it as reference XD it helps things look a lot more 3D, too! I hope this helps

[@dreamsans736]

You could put the cow bell on her tail, or one of the corners on the apron (the band specifically), or even on her single horn! It would be adorable and a very awesome detail

[@uboaappears]

This is so cool! This honestly was somewhat easier to understand than many actual tutorials, and I could feel your pain throughout 🤣 Definitely inspired me to work on my model too, thank you and good luck 💜 Your spooky moo-moo is adorable!

[@TheGokayorsel]

At the end it looked really great. My concern is that, how is that gonna translate to the motion tracker? Since your real eyes are not that big, and you don't have any flappy ears, how is the camera gonna get that information? Do they just flap when you turn your head? Eye movements are really small and subtle, is the tracker gonna be able to translate that info well?

[@sherbetron]

Dwdw Vtube studio is specifically for anime/cartoon characters The ears will flap when she moves her head

[@wiiink]

yea the program kinda just knows because it's meant for this, it knows that they're eyes so it'll blink them when yours blink and you can have stuff like the ear movement to happen automatically like breathing movement or based on other movement she makes

[@pigeontoes5421]

Normal inputs -> non-trackable outputs For example, moving the head will flap the ears, and blinking normally (open eye = 1 and closes eye = 0) will translate to the same thing on the parameters the rigger created. (Model eye 1 and 0)

[@snippyhera]

When I tell you I was excited for the next part...... I WAS FRIKIN EXCITED!! I love the character! Her design is beautiful and so unique! You're incredible Lavendertowne, I hope you know that

[@jellyjilli1004]

At the end when she started moving I squeaked. So so so cute!

[@user-ph3wb3md5k]

i dunno why i just love to see art come alive, and this is so cool seeing your art come to life! So cool!!

[@sapphiretarantula1655]

This is absolutely amazing!! Her movements are so life-like! This is going to turn out amazing👍♥️♥️ I seriously cannot WAIT to see her in action!

[@khunagueroagnis2558]

Thats so cool! I cant wait to finally see your vtuber debute!

[@mowella]

Lol I like how she's talking about rotators, and warp and stuff and most of us are probably like: *WTF IS THIS*

[@selish2904]

you are literally my savior i always find tutorials on your channel and honestly to the fact that you're helping me with my chicken scratches outline, so i thank u so much for that and im still angry at youtube for removing you from my subscription

[@ieetkidz]

Your voice is so calming I could fall asleep to it and your art is so good Keep up the good work also your V-Tuber is so cute!

[@thesalempyxis]

I love Lavender and her art style💗

[@adamwise1111]

Shes so cuuuuute! Do NOT apologize for taking too long. I can't wait for part 3!

[@mellysaturday1924]

When you moved your cursor around during the tests my mind was BLOWN! it looks absolutely amazing so far, not to mention her design is SO CUTE!
