Hello a cute boy will be dancing to calming anime songs for hours here.

Just want you to know that I find all of you very adorable even though I will probably never watch you.

every /asp/ie needs to watch this and learn the proper motivations for creating niche art, lots of lessons to be learned and reality checks to be had here:

This shit smells of yellowcat. This isn’t even vtuber related

>>53218567
don't lump me in with him, anon- this shit is more related than you think. You haven't watched it. Just in case you're a dumbass I'll spell it out. It covers: 1) losing money to perform, 2) performing over and over again for 5-10 people, 3) the fact that you probably will not make it. It goes over all this with the goal of exploring why you'd even want to do something so delusional in the first place. These bands put 100x the effort into their art compared to some random jackass vtuber, and they still go nowhere. The world's not fair.

>>53218964
I ain’t watching or reading all that
I’m happy for you though
Or sorry that happened

I hope the joker enjoyed his last moments in Denpa's dungeon

>>53218964
this, im an artist first. vtuber second. ill put all my vtuber shit on hiatus to protect the integrity of my art

>>53220980
I sorta miss that guy, real shame what happened to him

hi shou.ld i lick my microphone for clout

>>53223450
yes lick me in a collab

Vtubing is a cargo cult.

>>53222783
At some point you're simply unable to ignore that your favorite vtuber has a boyfriend.

The more I think about last summer, the more obvious it seems that there was never going to be any happy endings
The best outcome would have been if my suicide attempt when I was 16 had succeeded and I never had to experience the last decade

how do i stream retro consoles
i am not good at computers
i do not have much money

How do I trick gay guys into simping for me and giving me them sweet sweet parasocial views?

>>53229495

>>53229711
Isn’t streaming emulators frowned upon?

>>53229585
Copy whatever Haru is doing.

>>53217922
Even my vroid model??

>>53229770
What's an emulator, I don't know what you're talking about, I own this archaic console and have a compatible capture card wink wink nudge nudge

>>53229770
everyone uses emulators you just aren't supposed to acknowledge it

Any fat or super introverted or schizoid vtubers?

>>53230268
I am older than 25

>>53230268
>I might be mentally ill
Shit anon, that's all you had to say!
You're a perfect fit for a vtuber

>>53229585
I used to think I want to give this a shot until a few days ago when I got ogled by a bunch of gay gymgoers. They were the twink feminine lithe type but I was scared shitless and feared for my well being. I don't think I'm cut out for fujobaiting

>>53230268
>Is it too late for me
It's never too late to start, is what I'd like to say, but she'll never love you

>>53230363

Yeah, me.

Could I get some feedback on my design so far? It's meant to be simple, but I feel like it might be a bit too underwhelming? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. ;v; I know asking for feedback and then marking as spoiler is counter-intuitive, but I don't want to force people to look at it since it's in the rough stages right now. ;v; There's sludge in my brain I think...

How much does it cost to commission this shit?

>>53232996
I'd fuck it. Is it meant to look so breedable?

>>53232996
I think it's cute, you've got a solid base down with the watamote tired-eyes look and the hair over the eye. The clothing is nice too. I'd say as it is is perfectly fine, but if you wanna stand out a bit more, considering adding some accessories or asymmetry to the clothing. I love any design with tired eyes though, so I might be a bit biased.

>>53232996
Personally I think the jacket sliding off the shoulder think looks awkward in motion but I'm just a retard. Consider trying out different versions
I think the design is fine. Simple is good.

>>53233285
Aaah thank you! Good idea! I'll try adding some accessories and stuff and see how it works out.

>>53233290
Ah ok, I'll do that and see which one's best (or maybe make a toggle for different jacket positions or something hmmm). Thanks!

>>53234033

is it a bad idea to drop an "I love you" on my chat every once in a while?

>>53215078
Anyone in asp actually talented enough to give advice? I lost my voice because I spent too long working on death metal singing, good tips to help get it back faster?

>>53236466
i do it without thinking, as long as its natural

>>53236666
1. yes, fuck you
2. rest, eat healthy food, don't talk or sing

>>53236466
That's gay anon

>>53237061
it's only gay if it's sexual.

>>53235484
I was sleeping, sorry, not me. I don't mind guys or girls liking me so long as they're healthy about it.

YUROS

>>53237602
thinking about them makes me angry!

>>53237748

>>53237602
Why would I bump the thread?

>>53230268
Never too late. Just stream with any PNG you have and see if you like it in general. Turns out it's the ideal hobby for me because it combines so many creative skills and forces me to actually make things

Is it worth it to finish games on stream? I've been trying to do everything start to finish but it's hard to tell if that's a good or bad idea.

>>53238215
Bad for numbers

>>53238215
I used to try to do that but I got burned out... if you're still having fun with it then sure, but if it's no longer fun for you then viewers probably won't have fun either

Help me I can't stop smacking my lips while streaming what the fuck.

>>53238215
if the game is not too long maybe, but if it takes more than 2 streams to finish it might be an issue for newer viewers and for viewers that had missed the previous stream.
this is not a problem with roguelikes btw

>>53238426
suck some dicks before the stream to fix that.

>>53238499
Are you volunteering?

>>53238406
>>53238417
>>53238464
Maybe I should find more stuff to hop between a bit then... I really enjoy playing stuff start to finish on stream and my regulars seem to like it but I don't wanna keep new people from checking me out either. Thank you for the input!

>>53238519
for you anything bb

>>53238630
if you are playing games that are a little off the beaten path you might get new viewers just because there are not many people who stream their favorite games.

>>53238692
I can't imagine there's a huge audience for romhacks and super long playthroughs of older games, however I have had a lot of raids specifically from Okami from people who love the game. It's been a long one though...

>>53238819
I got a raid right when I started because I was playing Cave Story. But this is mostly down to luck and whether the right people are online and streaming at the right time. I tend not to get any raids because of my time slot

>>53238819
I said little off the beaten path, not in the middle of a jungle high in the mountains, but yeah okami is a good example of a somewhat niche cult game with a dedicated audience

>>53238889
What time do you tend to stream? I could try to raid into you if it's anywhere near when I do.
>>53238923
But they're fun... I think it's probably in my best interest to keep stuff that out there to a bit of a minimum and play more stuff like Okami or Cruelty Squad, I had quite a few random people checking in just because they liked the games. Maybe cult games are the way to go.

>>53239061
That's kind of you, but if you are who I think you are, you stream after me usually, I start my stream from 2 or 4 pm EST

>>53239109
Sorry I can't help you out then, I wish you luck, friend! Keep your spirits high!

Is it worth getting a used iPhone for tracking? I've been using my iPad but it's awkwardly big and clunky

Could always get a new iPad but same issue with the clunkiness!

>>53239300
i've been thinking about using an ipad for tracking, any ideas for what works best for positioning and holders/stands?

>>53240014
I've just been leaning my iPad against my raised monitor which is on an arm, it's not ideal!

>>53239300
why not an android?

>>53240293
iPad/iPhone has ARKit tracking (used for FaceID) and the newer ones utilise LIDAR

How broke are you? The solution I've used in the past involved a capture card and an RCA to HDMI converter.

>>53238464
What if I save/archive my VODs?

>>53243446
no one watches vods

>>53243446
You owe me sex if I have to watch your vods

>>53243446
unless you are big with a large dedicated audience no one is going to watch your VODs, small audiences follow you to interact with you or to watch you while you are live in their second monitor

>>53243446
I think you're overthinking it. Most people are not following the game itself so closely as to care or have already played it and just want to see a cule favorite of theirs revisited, and if they're really new when they drop in and do wonder what's going on you can always give them a quick recap.

Everything about Veadotube makes me want to barf, are there any alternatives for PNGtubing that won't scam me and backdoor my rig?

>>53243985
I regularly have brand new viewers show up to my chat and say "oh yeah I saw that on the VODs" so there are definitely people out there who watch even Twitch VODs.

>chilling in an /asp/ chuuba's Discord as a viewer
>basically dead, barring maybe two guys greeting each other occasionally
>/asp/ie themself says things infrequently

>>53250867
Small chuubacords are generally pretty quiet until they hit critical mass or have a couple very outgoing viewers that drive them. .

>>53250867
You could always message something?

>>53250925
Should I post in my dead discord to attempt to stir up activity at the risk of being the only poster there and looking weird and pathetic to any new people who join?

>>53251645
Treat it like an open diary with a pr filter. Word things in ways that encourage other people to chime in.

>>53251645
Hey, it's your discord, you're the chuuba, who else is going to do that for you?

My mind is eternally empty, so it takes time to think up stuff to say beyond basic greetings, but then I wind up wondering, "Is anyone even going to care about whatever bullshit you're thinking of saying?" and I end up trapped in a loop of thinking of stuff and then tearing down those thoughts.
I hate it. I hate that my mind works like this, but I know that the solution is to just care a little bit less.

>>53252786
An introvert streamer has to pass through two stages in the beginning of his career. First you learn how to do small talk non-stop without shutting up, like people do on the radio. But because you're introverted it's not natural and quite exhausting for you. So the next step is to learn how to do witty remarks with like 30 seconds gaps in between. Then you learn to switch between these two modes - and you're gucci.

>>53232764
Nice Rabi vro

>>53250867
The chuuba would rather hang out in aspcord than with their community. You wont find any viewer love here

>>53259637
Sun is for gentle love. Imagine falling asleep lying in his luscious blond hair.

Is there anything more pathetic than a male vtuber? Who do you appeal to? You're not cute, you're not entertaining, no one wants to hang out with you. Girls are cute, girls are entertaining, we want to hang out with girls. If you're a male reading this I suggest you kys.

Is there anything more pathetic than a female vtuber? Who do you appeal to? You're not cute, you're not entertaining, no one wants to hang out with you. Boys are funny, guys are entertaining, we want to hang out with guys. If you're a female reading this I suggest you quit.

He's getting more and more late every day. Shame

Why is Sun so good at drawing on top of being good at reading for the stream? life ain't fair

https://voca.ro/1hFZs761TWWD

>>53261258
Man I really enjoy your vocaroos, never stop doing them.

>>53261346
who is it? I don't recognize the voice

>>53260765
May I ask what part of his reading you find good for streams?
I plan to do q bit of reading myself when I start, so any pointers would be good!

>>53262483
He's not really that great at reading.
If you want to read on stream, try to have moments where you go into tangents - so viewers can jump in and offer their two cents.

Even if absolutely noone shows to your stream, you can't talk in an airtight way with no way in. Twitch CCV counts don't update real time, so you might be missing potential viewer comments if you do that.

>>53262483
I find his reading non intrusive to my own thoughts which for me is the most important, the second most important is the cadence at which he reads, the voice for me it's not important as long as it's not harsh on the ears.
Another important thing is to speak clearly and not get lost while you are reading.

Most chuubas that do reading stream content do so in an ""asmr"" category and treat it like bedtime story or group reading content. If you want to read to an audience but don't want to voice act, at least demonstrate what [and what version of the text) you're reading so they can read along and follow the commentary.

>>53263091
when your papa read you bedstories did you also ask him to transcribe the book as he read so you could read at the same time?

>>53263217
No but I did ask him to slow down so my mom wouldn't hear my whimpers

>>53260326
did he drew this? if yes then there is no way he isn't seducing us on purpose

>>53263217
No but often times you could also see the book being read.

Is talking to a chat way easier than conversations in real life? Several holos who said they’re terrible socially are evidently good at streaming but maybe they’re bullshitting

>>53264945
Chat isn't people

wtf streaming is actually HARD i thought it was easy watching other vtubers but i'm stuttering, i don't know what to say and i don't even know how to setup my stream properly, i'm a real NGMI

>>53264945
I personally find both to be relatively easy. But honestly if you are a corpo streamer you don't even really talk to your chat anymore because there's too many people and for /asp/ies and other 1views chat is basically like a discord conversation.

>>53265715
Take it a little bit at a time. Each time you stream, try to gain a bit more mastery of the things you need to know.

>>53267772

>>53232996
I guess I'll call myself design anon since I helped Fig with their design a few threads back. I your concept, so I'll do a redraw of your character and give out pointers later today when I'm not busy.

I had to voice act someone saying uwohhh today how's your streaming week going asp

I might be looking in all the wrong places but I'm getting fed the fuck up why can't I find a decent styled model artist for under 500. Not even the decent third worldies are selling their models for a good price anymore.

>>53281790
What kind of art style are you looking for exactly? If it's a western or more realistic style pickings are slim.

>>53282424
Just an anime style that can draw men but like one that at least looks appealing

>>53232996
Your base design isn't bad at all, it just needs some direction to really bring the character to life. It reminds me of Sucy from Little Witch Academia.

I skipped the jacket and legs since I was too lazy to draw them today.

Here's my advice:

Find a theme. You want people to instantly have an idea of what kind of character you are at a glance. It also helps if it ties into whatever lore you have. I couldn't figure out what you were going for, so I went for a scholar enrolled in some kind of death school in my redraw.

Please ditch the bandages around the neck. It comes off as an afterthought to try to make the character look more sullen. It also doesn't fit the current design you have.

Remove the dark circles, make it an alternative expression, or keep it very subtle. No one really wants to watch a VTuber that looks like it's tired of existing even though it's an anime character and will most likely pass you up for a cheery-looking VTuber instead. It's sad, but it's the harsh truth. I'm not telling to make a super bright character, but lighten things up a little.

Honestly, the biggest thing is deciding a character theme here. Hope I helped somewhat.

>>53283517
Thanks anon. It's fun to do these kind of redraws

>>53271419
Fig?

I streamed! It was fun!

>>53282886
Aaah! Thank you so much for your advice and drawing! So cute and your art is so good! The more saturated colors and slightly changed hues make the design look so much better and fix the muddled look I was worrying about.
You're right about having a stronger theme. I wanted it to have kind of a "shut-in trying her best to look like a cute school idol" vibe, but I wasn't sure how to get it across. But death scholar is a very cool idea and I hope you don't mind if I take some inspiration from it! (Though I guess I'm taking inspiration from all of it regardless.)
Yeah, I should probably make it a bit more lively so people don't think that I'm too much of a downer at a glance.
Thank you so much for your advice and redraw!!! I really appreciate it and I'll try my best to reflect your suggestions since they're all really good points! I will deeply cherish your drawing, it looks so good and I'm so grateful to have something like this. ;v;

Yeah I might have to use my main for things like Master Duel or Limbus, so I was thinking the same. I just had a random autistic though about how games I play won't get achievements and shit on my main account and was close to having a second thought about pointless shit like that.

>>53273039
Thank you for coming for anyone who showed up, it always means so much to me!

>>53289770
I don't know if you were referencing him but I forgot he existed, holy shit. Maybe I'll go comm him, he was a nice kid

Am I wasting my time coding an ai vtuber? Movements still kinda jank but that's my fault for being shit with unity. at least it works right?

>>53290200
You could always use an achievement manager if it really bothers you that much.

>>53289729
Library sharing is pretty easy to set up and I don't really care about achievements and I'm fine with starting over in a game if I'm going to stream it, so there's not really any reason not to have that extra layer of privacy for me. I get why it'd be a dilemma for people who stream MMOs or rank based games though since there's an amount of attachment and pride there you would want to show to your viewers.

>>53290200
Just get the masterduel bot. make a new account with max gems takes like 5 mins. only way to play the game and not give komoney anything anyways

How active should you be in your own discord server?
I feel like people will think I'm a loser and learn how boring I am if I reveal I spend all day on the computer and interact with them too much...

>>53293743
Your fans are people you should love talking with and bantzing with.
It shouldn't be a chore.
Activity ranges between just posting once a day and talking at length in certain topics.
Get to know these guys - unless you're a woman then don't bother they're all coomers.

>>53293743
people like to talk to their chuubas or their friends depending on how close you are with your community so I'm sure they'd just be happy to see you around
besides, there's a phone app isn't there? plausible deniability that you're "spending all day on the computer."

>>53293743
Enough to give them the illusion that you care about your viewers and that they're not numbers

How do I find the motivation and willpower to keep streaming regularly?
I usually get about 0 viewer on average and talking to myself gets kinda miserable.
I'm not asking for advice to get more viewers, I'm just wondering where do I find the discipline to keep grinding through.

>>53215078
im a guy but I wish I could use a virtual model
it just seems useful
people can see you react to what you play, allows for visual gags, gives you a unique identifier that you can make art of
All while preserving anonymity which is important to me

Its a shame it has such a stigma for men

>>53288373
I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to use the drawing however you'd like since it's all yours now.

>>53294533
You can keep grinding and grinding, but unless you figure out what to improve, you will be stuck at 0 views.

Watch your own VODs and see what you can change. Are there lots of long pauses? Do you say the same things over and over again? Do you elaborate on your decisions in a game? If this was a random streamer, would you watch them at all?

Network as well. Find people you're genuinely interested in and watch them/hang out in chat.

>>53294612
Just don't call yourself a vtuber. E;R is behind a persona that is straight up Dr.Stein from Soul Eater (MYSTERY NIGGA version).
But of course, I know you're male-schizo just mixing it up for a bit.

What should I use my stream deck for? Besides scene switching and model toggles

>>53294612
Why can't you be a regular faceless streamer/content creator? Why box yourself in as a VTuber?

Those i know in real life keep saying id be a good streamer. I've never considered it. What does that mean? Is it an insult?
How can I start

>>53295291
goofy sound effects

>>53295763
They're telling you you won't shut the fuck up

>>53295291
Volume controls to easily change if the game audio is too quiet/loud stream-side. Mute toggle.
Something I do is automate the start and end of stream using macros. I hit one button and it will: set the scene, start bgm, hit go live, wait 30 seconds, and run an ad.

>>53295291
It makes you feel like a real streamer

>>53293743
This actually makes me reconsider on setting up a cord once I start streaming. Since absence makes the heart grows fonder, I think that repeat interactions with viewers outside of streams will make the streams no longer a special occassion, since viewers can catch you off stream in your cord anyway.
I think participating in multiple community cords of your interest as a user would be better instead of setting your cord from the get go

Its insane how much more easily people will follow you after you have a few hundred followers and 10+ ccv. I streamed for many months to very few viewers/followers and people would barely give me a chance at all, its really striking to me how quickly it has changed.

>>53299826
I'd rather be one of few viewers than the only viewer.

>>53299826
the lurkers that make up a majority of your viewers will want a crowd to blend in to when they're not chatting

>>53299892
we know, groomer-kun.

New emotes are so cute, I love this artist so much, he's such a wonderful guy!

>>53300184
How do they look when tiny?

>>53300528
I had to ask him to make the lines on the hands and mouth a bit thicker but I think that helped quite a bit!

>>53300184
such a cute boy

>>53300731
Thank you, I'm just doing my best! I hope everyone likes them, these are the two I got requested the most by my awoomfies.

>>53300610
Not bad. Could be a bit more readable. But I have seen worse.

>>53300184
>>53300846
so cute~
we love you!

Should I just say fuck it and use a free live2d model to stream? It's a model I like the look of and I think I wouldn't feel too weird using it

>>53294612
It doesn't actually carry any stigma other than the more insane factions of vtubing, vtuber "normies" if you will don't dislike male chuubas at all

need... hydrate... redeem...
Now offering gamer boy sweat at a discounted price

>>53302613
Calm down Haru

>>53267772
British people are how you exist at all you silly yank

>>53289365
No one's been paying you any attention, and I feel like giving some advice today, so...
Your VRoid model is an instant turn-off. You'd do better paying for a PNG. The character concept is OK I guess.
No social media links on your Twitch? You CAN'T just stream on Twitch and expect people to find you. Go get a Twitter account or something. Upload your VODs to YouTube.
You're consistently talking and your mic quality is good enough so there's that.
Get some free starting soon/overlay assets (though your whole setup reminds me of when I started).
Good luck slushie.

YUROS

>>53305283
Do you understand the pain of being euro? You make all those Internet friends across the world that you will never meet

>>53305447
Don't think I'll ever meet certain people because they want to remain hidden behind their avatars, which is fair

>>53305447
That must suck for Beryl considering the hours he streams means he'll never ever meet with anyone that he tries to network or friend with since they're all yuros or SEA

>>53305447
>he's not travelling to visit his friends
true ngmi, if you are my friend i WILL travel 5000+ km to visit you in your shithole even if it's peru or the philipines

I would only go that far if I'd known them a good few years and even then... maybe I'm lazy

I didn't get into vtubing to get a gf, but...
There's nothing more blackpilling than a cute girl telling you she likes you, but that she's going to date another guy because they live close enough to fuck.

>>53307233
Discord isn't a dating app how many times do I need to say this

>>53284502
500 for something you draw in few hours is an insult to hobbyists that will never even get their money back through streaming. no wonder you greedy fucks are getting replaced by ai

>>53307233
Long-distance relationships are hard. Some people need that physical contact. I'm sorry anon

>>53307575
Well, one is a marketable skill the other is being autistic on camera. You can turn that around and say that a guy who draws for 10+ years and still is poor as shit vs the girl who buys a asmr mic and gets thousands for licking plastic ears.

I think 500 for a character is a little much depending on complexity, but if it's a Live2D commission that actually comes with all the layers and extra fillout for the rigging is a little more complex and could warrant the pricetag. As with everything it's relative, art is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, nothing has inherent value and since people will infinitely throw money at streamers for doing nothing in particular, these streamers then in turn throw their money earned at artists to draw them things.

>>53307575
500 is pretty cheap desu
you should be making that in around two days if you work a normal job
the greedy ones charge 2500+

>>53307575
I know, they should just draw faster

>>53307844
>>53308116
art is pretty competitive. with such high prices a lot of people will barely ever get any comms. you have probably heard of that starving artist meme

I paid $100 for my live2d and $100 for my rigging and I like the result

>>53305447
This is actually great. Vtubing was not supposed to be discount tinder

I'm inclining hard from streaming but working full-time is killing me...
/asp/ies how do you cope with it

>>53309702
I only stream on weekends

>>53309702
I don't

>>53309702
I do high effort streams (manga reviews) on Saturday and just play games on weekdays. Games are not that taxing if you don't stress yourself to talk all the time.

>>53309465
Someone should let the american vtubers know because they're getting it on, especially the female vtubers. If they don't have a bf pre-debut then they be hooking up with a fellow vtuber within a year. It should be me.

They all have bfs why are you trying to use /asp/ as tinder

>>53232996
Would simp for

>>53310126
No one has said they have a bf, not even fuwacoco, so there's a chance they might be single
The gay furry is definitely taken, that guy fucks

>>53310306
Well if you think fun attractive women aren't immediately locked down 95% of their lives I don't know what to tell you.

Enjoy your Tinder experience but we'll still be here for you if you want to do some VTubing instead.

>>53310306
I know at least one has mentioned a boyfriend offhand a few times but I'd rather not call attention to them specifically because nobody in chat noticed or cared and I'd rather not ruin that nonchalant vibe by dredging up catalog schizos

>>53310419
nta but i'm here to have sex with ugly women and so far it's been working out great.

>>53310419
it doesn't matter if they have a boyfriend anyway because they're not GFE

>>53310615
Cuck

>>53310715
You can't be a cuck if you aren't invested in the woman romantically. It'd be silly to think that everyone who has ever hired an escort is a cuck, right?

don't watch my stream or talk to me if you're single looking to mingle
you should be here for my content not my gender or availability

>>53311491
if you are male you don't have to worry about that, if you are female... well you should be used to it by now

>>53311491
It's okay, Selen, I watch you because you're funny.

>>53311298
There is not such a thing as being "invested" in the opposite sex platonically.

>>53307575
Even assuming this isn't bait, if somebody turns around a model in "a few hours" they probably did a shit job.

Also lmao expecting your hobbies to self finance

>>53311591
It's only like that if the opposite sex is attractive.

>>53311546
You're the problem

>>53311591
Wrong

Catsreturn is the closest female /asp/ie and I can do a lot better than that by meeting people IRL
Focus on vtubing guys

Let me be completely honest with you, my bruddas in Christ. If you want to date a vtuber, the easiest way is to start dating whoever is available and willing and then convincing them to become a chuuba - paying for the hardware and the model, if necessary. Grooming a chuuba is so backwards and inefficient it's not even funny.

>>53311865
a person making a joke on a ricewashing forum?

>>53312531
>paying for the hardware
I could even let her use my gear

>>53312593
There hasn't been a funny joke on asp since your last selfpost

>>53312659
I'll give you that one

>>53312659
That's good, he's a comedian, ahahah...

Hey guys how's it going today?

>>53312531
> start dating whoever is available
Thats the problem

>>53313387
the yuros are not behaving again

I do not trust the female gender that is all.

>>53313680

>>53313705
>Why'd they have to make him so good-looking..

>>53301291
That's how Digby started out
I think he bought a new model eventually but even that was a store bought one

Does anyone else think Denpa is a lesbian? She gives huge femme dyke magnet energy, I just don’t buy it that she has a boyfriend

>>53281790
Check out ramos__ on fiver. Sub 300 for design + model + rig. If it's good enough for grimmi to get twitch partner it should be enough for you.

>>53281790
I'm paying $260, there were some weird things up with the art but hopefully the rigging should be good. I do think you get what you pay for so I might upgrade next year

>>53314897
NTA but terrible rigging. The art is *okay* but really flat and drastically changes quality from model to model
