[@klausbdl]

you guys better credit it, because they know EVERY picrew when they see one

[@squiiji3D]

My eyes are everywhere and I can spot unauthorized picrew use like a HAWK 👀👀👀

[@ElmisteriosoOficial]

Will they see the picrew... IN MY SPANISH CHANNELL!!!😱😱💀💀. The People who speak spanish have privilege who nobody knows.

[@NighstarLayla]

​@@ElmisteriosoOficialNot anymore, muchacho de créditos 🔫

[@ElmisteriosoOficial]

@@NighstarLayla claro que no, porque solo lo use en un video y ahora tengo el mio propio jajajajaja

[@caitiesith]

I'm so used to people thinking Picrew is 'free use' that I got nervous when I saw the title - I shouldn't have been, you rocked it Iiji and really thoroughly covered the non-commercial vs commercial use and the importance of crediting. Love this tutorial.

[@squiiji3D]

Thank you! I made this tutorial half out of frustration w/ people who don't pay attention to the TOS of picrew creators, so I can understand how you felt haha

[@_lei_c_8138]

I wasn't so interested in this topic before as I'm already in the process of animating my model, but you certainly convinced me to be a pngtuber until I finish it XD These videos are great! Can't wait for the next one!!! 🍄💖

[@squiiji3D]

Thank you so much! A pngtuber is a great short term solution while you're still working on another model!

[@PGiChristine]

That's extremly helpfull ! Even if I don't want to use a picrew and wish to make a model my self, it is still great that you have taken the time to compile all the available picrews for vtubing, also how to set up a pngtuber with veadotube ! Thank you ! :D

[@squiiji3D]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck making one yourself, I hope you have fun with it!

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

Omg there's actually ONE that has longer curly hair AND moth antennae! It's just a place holder to get started but thank you for all the hard work!

[@Solar_Symphony]

I was so excited when my friends showed me Veadotube mini! It's been really fun to make a PNGtuber with it, the process is so easy! I hadn't even thought of using picrews, but that is a great resource as well for a consistent looking character! (Which may or may not be my largest struggle with making my own pngtuber, haha!) Great video yet again!

[@squiiji3D]

Consistency is tough! I tried making myself one at one point too so I feel that! But thank you, I'm glad you liked the video!

[@KiyoshiArts]

The list of picrews is so useful! Perhaps a future vtuber topic could be about “playing” a character or simply be yourself?

[@peachenelle]

Dude this is dedication, I just found your channel today and my god if there's anything to be said from watching a handful of your vids its that you're incredibly hospitable! Whether its feedback, helpful tips, or a freaking master document of resources/assets for people to get started, seriously I'm impressed. So much love and consideration. I'm all for it!

[@elk45]

That doc is actually insane?? Like, wow! Talk about immensely useful resources made out of pure dedication. Not to mention how clear this video is - I literally just made one right now! 😆

[@_lei_c_8138]

I also wanted to suggest a video topic! We talk a lot about the models and the design of the models, but what about the other parts of being a vtuber? Like overlay design, maybe lore/concept design, etc. I would love to see your opinions and ideas on those! :3

[@squiiji3D]

I've been considering making videos discussing some of those topics! As an artist, the lore-side of vtubing is a little outside my wheelhouse b/c it's very much connected to creative writing, but I'm doing some research!

[@_lei_c_8138]

@@squiiji3D whatever you put out I'm sure will be great! Keep up the amazing work! :D

[@imjustaghostO.O]

WOOOOOO i always loved to do those picrew coz it just SO fun to create characters trough the prism of someone else’s abilities and vision and i never thought that u can do a png tuber out of this this is very cool and fun thank you for making a video and list of picrew artists and in general ur content and the way u put it on a table so nice have a good one!

[@squiiji3D]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and the rest of my content!

[@lampdevil]

Hot damn, that's a lot of work to have gone through! And it's REALLY going to be helpful to people! You rock!

[@squiiji3D]

Thank you! I really hope people get some good use out of it!

[@jpachu16]

When I wanted to become a vtuber, I was like “I might just be a fleshtuber cause the vtuber technology is too confusing for me. Like I don’t even know how to run a stream and play a game at the same time” lmao. and I also know most vtubers start as png tubers for monetary purposes (models/rigging are expensive). But this was super thorough and super easy to follow and you really did so much work for us. Thank you so much! 😭😭😭

[@lemonyy5725]

Thank you so so much for this video existing! I’ve been looking into making a pngtuber and I’m not overly talented/super financially stable enough to commission art so this was a lifesaver!

[@KaemiiMorae]

...How and why is squiiji so nice and caring??????, i will never understand, but deserves an Oscar for sure

[@-Yanara-]

I've only watched 2 of your videos so far and I'm already hooked. Your characters movements are so mesmerizing to me but I'm still able to focus on the video itself. I really love your content so far and its really refreshing from all the anime girls that i keep seeing everywhere.

[@neomawzz]

THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭 that’s actually insane your literally one of the most helpful KZbinr for this

[@EchoBoony]

I MADE MY FIRST PNG BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO IT TOOK ME 11 HOURS BUT IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!!

[@Grimm_Nightmares]

I just realized, I FORGOT TO CREDIT THE PICREW CREATOR WHOSE PICREW I USED TO MAKE MY PNGTUBER! BRB, gonna update my youtube about section to include the creator.

[@nynjadad4778]

Incredibly well laid out and clear instructions. Thank you for all of the work and info.

[@quotastrider801]

Great informative well made video, only flaw is the WRONG PRONOUNCIATION OF PICREW, ITS PICK BECAUSE PIC-TURE AAAGHHHH

[@glajskor90]

I have no idea if there's a big audience for this type of content but I respect it a lot and I hope you'll keep growing in fans!

[@AzeharaCh]

Very simple, very clean, and straight to the point. Good shit.

[@noneckedsnon-existentneck3890]

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you so much!

[@kittyz467]

Omg this is amazing and genuinely so helpful 😭🙏, thank you so much for your efforts and hard work!! 💖💖

[@CC_Rambles]

I'm doing this rn but I'm drawing it myself and this was the easiest most straight forward tutorial I found TYSM!!!

[@B.coffin]

Super helpful video, thank you!

[@TimboTheWizard]

Super solid video, thank you for sharing!

[@neonmaulerr]

i just want to say that i really love your avatar omg it's so unique af

[@vtuberdoodles]

like dropped! thank you for this amazing resource!

[@kindahurt5106]

THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL! TYSM.

[@aor5753]

This is sucha helpful video tysm for the hardwork

[@YamiFoxx]

This video is absolutely fantastic, the amount of effort gone through to do all this must have been tough so take my like and sub!

[@Varler_]

Thanks for the great beginner tutorial! 😁

[@JudeJadeJune]

Such a simple and effective method and explanation. I was familar with most of the steps already but its even more clear now thanks. :)

[@undeadsenpai]

Really helpful video, doing a great service for people💖

[@leroios]

Thanks for the efforts !

[@rz0rrju273]

That was a very informative video Squiiji also congrats on 1.5k subs.

[@squiiji3D]

I'm glad you found it helpful! And thank you!!

[@kittenlover4581]

Thank you for doing this.

[@Eibarwoman]

This is a useful asset even though I'm using a different method.

[@ZabieruGames]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the guide and explanations. Hopefully using a PNGTuber will give me more incentive to make content as I want to maintain a level of privacy.

[@glxxmy]

you are a god senddd!!!

[@nishu2809]

thank you so muchhhh

[@DavidtheGnomieVT]

I messed around on picrew and I did not find anything Gnome enough for me but this is useful info, I subbed. I mostly skimmed this video for now but will come back to it later. Subbed and thumbs up

[@Wahaditya]

Thank you❤

[@TheCatPack3.0]

this is really helpful!!! tho I'm still not confident in trying it, I'm really thankful for these kinds of videos ♡♡♡♡

[@kotrena]

I didn't even think that's possible! I use my phone for filming my vlogs and I'm thinking of becoming a pngtuber, the only thing that stops me is that I'm not very good at drawing yet. I didn't even consider that using content from picrew is possible for such purpose. Thank you so much❤

[@Boxilization]

just made a pngtuber, wished this video came out sooner

[@igglemuggy7673]

here have a comment for your efforts :)

[@cheri924]

im not a pngtuber and if i become one, id just draw my avatar. however i really appreciate your content and i found this very entertaining :D

[@weebycraft]

i also want to become vtuber!

[@takara_kujiko777]

When I make a blinking gif, do I have to insert a file in the closed-mouthed open eye section? Or do I have put a file in the open mouth-closed eyes section?

[@tjhunter9787]

I wanted to ask, say I wanted to use the png model on someone else's stream for an online collab, how do I do that?

[@IsabellaAshido]

Im new to streaming and to give credits do i just put in my about my section on my twitch? i want to have the best spot so people know where i got it from.

[@AEIART]

Sensei! I need help, what canvas size should I use for my PNGtuber model huhuhuh :

[@SenshiKuriko]

I have one question.... I've been having a hard time finding a tutorial on how to make a reactive "Streamer Pet" like one that reacts to commands in Twitch chat.... Not a fully rigged VTS on but just one that my chat and interact with like Head pats, and reacts when people Sub or Follow etc..... any suggestions?

[@aquagamer1212]

Is there any way to import your own png image into picrew? Do they have a blank program that you can just add faces and accessories on to?

[@noxvflz9979]

Can i make it so it reacts when a specific sound plays?

[@TheAstronomySh0w0fficial]

Hey yall, I'm trying to use OBS and sadly it isn't allowing my computer to even run the installation setup, does anyone have a solution to that?

[@Goldenrosettv]

i need to ask what kind of file do they use for a new avatar?

[@joegt123]

I had to set my spout2 to Default for it's composite mode or it wouldn't work anywhere remotely close to properly.

[@Star.kisses_]

OBS isnt showing my png even though its set as a sprout2 capture :( please help

[@Pokiimo]

Is this also usable on laptops?

[@laraprisma6381]

How do I download this Spout2???

[@_nekhi_2311]

when im trying to uplode my gif i cant find the downloads can anyone help me out?

[@GachaKittie]

You can also use gacha life 👍

[@blueCSD]

I don't understand how to use the gif app

[@TheBurningDonut]

Why do you need Spout? My Veadotube goes right into OBS with no issue!

[@squiiji3D]

You don't 100% NEED spout, but you get better video quality using it, and at least on my PC it's less resource intensive

[@menotme4602]

The problem with picrew is the pron ads right beside my cute chibi character.

[@squiiji3D]

The whatnow!? That might be on you, I've never had that issue haha

[@IAMDLITE]

Like and sub.. thanks for ur efforts girly

[@Cows_areCute17]

0:11 they werwnt trying yo make a png they were trying to play yandere simulator but the pc was like no💀

[@CranicVT]
