animation is hard 🥲

I still have some eye movement details and the mouth open/close to deal with and then I can FINALLY HAVE HAIR AGAIN 😱

great place to end a weekend that exceeded my expectations

just a crusty no production WIP of Live2D Head XY.

All elements have only been adjusted in a very "flat" way, so I will be giving the eyes more depth and fixing them glitching off the face in future iterations.

the variety of lil faces I can make with the VBridger mouth is really stunning. 👄💖 I've done all the shapes except Mouth X (and possibly some lil physics).

(I did VBriger with NVidia Beta, not iPhone, so no tongue out or cheek puff for now)

Image showing two framed portraits of Live2D WIPs. The top one has the model making an excited, sweet face with the words "felt cute" overlaid. The bottom one has the model making an evil toothy grin with the words "might delete later" overlaid, but with "delete" written over to read "eat you" ("might eat you later").

I still have so many mouth forms to make (i'm not even halfway there 🥲), but it's rewarding to see the face starting to become flexible and expressive.

some people just have no imagination

how you get to old age and never encountered a story with that one chick who exudes such aloof coolness and capability that all the other girls are poppin heart eyes and droppin panties.
An image showing a collage of images of Sailor Uranus overlaid with the words "James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work." In the images Haruka is doing things like driving a sexy fast car with a pretty lady in the passenger seat, blowing a kiss while winking to steal your heart while wearing motorcycle gear, wearing tuxedos, kicking some mfer in the chest, and otherwise slaying.

I actually already did the eyebrows while I was making this quick #Live2D preview XD

So onto mouth. 💋

I've learned a lot and am getting faster and better at pre-planning to not waste time, but I think mouth will still be quite a trial. 🏋️💦

All of the Physics ones are blendshapes. I added the squint for VBridger. (I didn't do the > cheek highlight params yet, but will)

My first version of the eye I didn't use physics at all, didn't understand how to set them up. Now almost every part is interacting with physics.

I'm almost done with the eyes. 🥲

My #Live2D profiles for #Streamdeck have continued to grow. 🌱

Home page getting a little crowded. 🙊
Image showing my Streamdeck profiles (4) for Live2D. The Home page is at the top and separate profile pages that act as more flexible folders for Mesh, Glue, and Temporary Deform tools are along the bottom.

The offscreen drawing and alias features will also be wonderful, I plan to use them all. 💖

(not sure if I will try the beta or wait for full release)

#Live2D
Image shows a screenshot of an official Live2D video about features coming in 5.3 that states "You can individually set more than 10 types of color blends with RBG channels, as well as alpha blends with the alpha channel." - I have overlaid the screenshot with text from the Live2D websites that reads, "Cubism 5.3 beta version will be released around the end of August. Please look forward to it." that I highlighted and starred along with adding my own comments reading "I AM DOING SO OMG" along with some little heart drawings. My comment text and stars all use an excessive amount of blend modes to demonstrate enthusiasm.

i made two years of mistakes in two weeks but now the eye is a bouncy castle. 🏰✨

i'm still finishing some of the XY for closed and open eye forms, but wanted to update as it has come so far. 🥲

Getting better with glue. 📍📍📍

Refined a bunch of and feeling happy with how expressive the little forms can be coaxed into being. 🥲
Image of two Live2D eye forms: wide open smiling eye on the left with the text "OMG" and half closed smiling eyes that seem a little up to no good on the right with the text "a glint in the eye" above it.

ok i'll stop for now i swear (🤥, I just noticed another *one last thing*)

(other eye is a placeholder and will be replaced later 🩹)

I worked on my first #Live2D animations wayy too much yesterday and should give my arms a break... by making a little video about it < . <

(watching it makes me want to tweak more eye things 👁️👁️)

I may now be addicted. 💊✨

(model is not super well organized 🙊)

(i'll deal with my problems laterrrr)

The wide reports of non-payment including half a million for the linked charity are egregious, but what makes me tear up is what they did to her spirit and hearing her apologize repeatedly for what the people who took advantage of her did. 💔😿
Image showing Adam Smasher getting punched in the face, but text reading "VShojo" is overlaid on his forehead. Text from the transcript of Ironmouse's video about why she is leaving VShojo is also overlaid on the image: "I saw myself as unhirable", "I just felt like there was no way that anyone would ever take me or want me", "every time I put my trust in people it always ends in grief for me.", "it put a lot of pressure and a lot of stress on me to the point where I felt guilt tripped into signing.", "And once again, I want to say that I am truly sorry.", and "This entire situation has broken me.". Text in the lower left corner reads "Image from game footage @misternoobie".

I'm bad at posting WIPs, but I'm still making meshes. 🌀o🌀

The boots have their lineart glued back on top of them so I can move the highlights (on their own mesh) under it. Might be able to reduce the amount of line art needed for that later.
Image of a boot in Live2D overlaid with a green mesh showing many polygons and vertexes to allow the single texture to be manipulated fairly fluidly.

Going to have to adjust these due to issues with double clipping. 🫠 I think I will merge the sclera + its shadow and also merge iris base + uf while adding the iris outline back in as an upper layer.

Tested with a deformer and now has the desired results. 👍

Erring on the side of being a little too silly with separations for #Live2D eye. 👁️✨

(I'll probably still find something else to tweak after posting)
Image showing separation of a single eye for Live2D. The image is outlined in orange and shows the eye layers stacked at the top with an exploded view beneath it and a list of layers to the right ("<_lower_lashes" is not expanded as it would not fit on screen, but is the same structure as upper lashes).

I made an audio visualizer for @bleep.moe as part of an #ArtTrade! I made the #illustration based on her beautiful existing design along with a #graphic overlay. 🎸✨

If you're interested in commissioning something like this, please feel free to reach out on here or through #VGen!
Image showing the visualizer I made for bleepmusic. The background is an illustration of a cropped shot of her playing her modulin under stage lights. The text at the upper right reads, "A Long Song Title" and under that "genre name" and under that "(a song subtitle)". There is a mockup of an audio visualizer in the center about 2/3 of the way to the bottom and in the right corner it says "bleepmusic" along with a circle enclosing an existing portrait of her character. There is a watermark over the image that reads "★ acuteferal for bleepmusic ★".
