/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>30017690
Any vtuber asking for something specific without paying is a scumbag.
But some fans will do anything for free and you don’t even need to ask. So why not use it?

I think Nijisanji even have tags for assets.

big vtubers have unique thumbnails every stream, surely they dont pay for it all

Some people do it for free.
Some people do it for commissions, including from the actual vtuber themselves.
Doing some work for free to keep yourself busy while you have a large "commissions OPEN" on your Twitter profile will usually get people coming to you for paid work in some form. Not guaranteed, but if you hop on the hottest new trends it generally works well.

Freedom isn't Free.

I think Ina made her intro herself

>>30017690
They got paid in real exposure

Kiara always pays for them
she even talked about when a fan made something for her and she wanted to use the art and she had to insist and convince the fan to accept her money or else she would not use it

but it think this is also about copyright stuff, since when they pay for it they get ownership and can resuse/do whatever in the future

>>30019013
Ame also said she makes sure people get paid for their stuff

>>30019013
depending on the artwork it also involves interaction with the v-tuber and management, so there needs to be payment involved aswell as NDA

>>30018720
she did :D

>>30018172
As any "big vtuber" ever commissioned a thumbnail? Of course they don’t pay for that.
They either do them themselves with fanarts that already exists (they even have a community guideline to inform every fanartists that their fanarts can be used by the talents)
Or when it’s fan-made, they just make a general call and use whatever people will post willingly on Twitter.

Cover has some "Derivative Works Guidelines", stating that they can make fanarts of their IP, but in exchange cover and their talents can use them however they want without asking. There is no need to pay for anything, any fanart that include a cover talent is free to use by cover.

Yes, and then they thank the talents for using their art for commercial purposes.

No... holos still ask for permission and credit. And even if it were free to use according to theur guidelines, taking someone else's artwork without permission and risking them to come back saying "cover used my things even though I explicitly said I don't want them to appear onstream" is asking for trouble.
>but why would anyone do that
Dramafags aside, some people just like to draw things but abhor the idea of drawing attention for it.

>>30017690
That Gura one was drawn by Gura and animated by Ina

>>30020122
They do most of the time, but not always.
They generally credit the arts they use for schedules, but they sometime forget when it’s a thumbnail. And they don’t always ask before using.

>>30018720
I think Mori drew her and Kiara's original intros.

Magni also drew his.

Yeah?

if you make fanart, and a vtuber likes it, they might commission you
pick up your pencil anon

>>30023718
Correction, Kiara drew hers and Mori animated it

>>30020122
>No... Horos still ask for permission and credit.
>No
Retard.

>>30017690
wait, do people actually donate??

>>30017690
Ina has a huge aversion towards using anybody else's assets. Most of the time she either makes it herself or doesn't use anything at all, with the exceptions being things like the Mario Kart hat and bike. She doesn't even have a props tag.

>>30032205
>She doesn't even have a props tag.
Isn’t that a Niji thing only? Holo don’t have prop tags.

>>30032851
Ame, Kiara, Mori, and some of the council members have a props tag. It's not listed among the tags they have but they talk about it in streams. Ame has #amearms for instance, or something relatively close to that, from earlier in the year and for when she wanted to do a stream surrounding new arms after the pin feature arrived.

>>30017690
Yeah. Would be weird to charge yourself and your fellow genmates.

>>30017807
They get paid in exposure, unironically. And that's why exposure is a valid form of payment, because it really is considered something of value by a great many creative. Anyone who wants greater notoriety but won't accept exposure as payment is far too greedy for their own good,and doesn't understand the concept of a loss leader.
