>>72441464
Such a drastic change she might as well have gone to another company

>>72441464
>it's fucking real
jesus fucking CHRIST rene's model and scuffed face was absolute kino. this new model looks like an alien

>Ironmouse strat
Who cares about model consistency, just debut a new model every 3 months.

>>72441464
>anna gone
>chris going
>rene ruined
i'm genuinely going to kms

>>72441464
Her new model looks good and higher quality.
However the old one is simple, recognizable and has obvious immediate appeal.

>>72441464
New model looks 10x better but people will seethe because it doesn't have LESOVL

>>72441464
I don't hate it but it just doesn't look retarded enough to be Rene

>>72441464
>Underboob gone, Reduced to Atoms
RIP
I rarely watch Rene, but I'll miss her old design.

I hope Nemo and Kiki won't get redesign like this too.

>>72441464
It doesn't look retarded enough...

>>72441739
This. Had she started with this design and her original was the redesign instead, the reaction would be the same, if not much worse.
>>72441761
Also this. Long hair is too feminine to fit her retarded personality. The short hair is perfect though.

>>72441464
I'm saddened by this, I'm seeing a lot of """""new visuals""""" that I'm not too fond of.

What the fuck.

New twitch rules going into effect tomorrow ban underboob

>>72442542
she streams exclusively on youtube

>WAH DIFFERENT WAH I HATE CHANGE
Are you all mentally 2 years old?

>>72442452
At least Izumi’s new model still keeps a lot of her original model’s elements. Rene looks like a completely different vtuber, same with Hikari and her loli model

>>72441464
Most of the time it's because the girl herself likes the new model.

>>72441464
What the fuck, did this really happen
I know nothing about this girl beyond seeing her a few times but her OG design was so recognizable and cool, bottom one looks like generic chink gachaslop

I hope her fans give her shit for it

>>72441464
I WANT THIS

>>72441464
WAIT, YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT???

Nothing will ever top this downgrade. Even her wiki page totally ignores the existence of this model.

>>72442741
>>72442843
I'm sorry to inform you, israel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTA-d67CyIc

>>72442631
Here's your (you), faggot.

>>72442886
WTFFFF NOOOO. Old one was so good, she looked retard and she was retard, it was a perfect match.
But now she looks normal, if not "perfect", no highlighting characteristic on the design, you get nothing from it.
Sad..

>>72442851
>downgrade
You are an obstinate autist with no sense of taste.

>>72442851
Who's that, GirlDM, Omocat?

>>72443049
I find this pretty cute but she hasn't used this model for 3 years. The downgrade was from her last Live2D

You EOPs don't even watch her. You just look up porn of her on danbooru/exhentai.

>>72443109
NTA but agreed, the one before current was peak.

>>72443103
>GirlDM
Yes
>>72443049
Nice try bitch

>>72443109 (Me)
This one >>72443204 it was pretty good and the rigging was super smooth, new one is super stiff and I think the eyes are too squeezed by default

>>72443305
She also look like a fujoshi's dream.

>>72441464
OMG what they did to her, she looks like someone who had a shitty plastic surgery

>>72441464
Shame. The OG had much more character. That being said, this won't affect me much since I only listen to her ASMR streams with the screen off 99% of the time.

You niggas didnt even watch her, you dont know my pain.
I understand she wanted this and worked closely with the artist to fit her tastes but it still sucks
I'm still not used to Patras new model, this is gonna take a while...

>>72442631
faggot

>>72443523
I watched her from time to time, mainly karaoke and some zatsus tho, love her saying dumb shit.

>>72441464
Because these barely known 2views have no personality and therefore no taste or thoughts about what actually makes a good model, it's all just a colorful blur of slop to their NPC brains. They just go with what other people tell them will make them popular. It's a symptom of a deeper problem.

>>72443523
I'll admit that outside of her English only streams she used to do some years ago I only really watched her karaokes (and all the clips of Sugar Lyric that rippy translated) but I'm still sad about the redesign. I get why she's doing it though if Sugar Lyric is effectively done, but it's still a real shame.

>>72443713
Why do you think your opinion on something you know nothing about matters? LMAO. Imagine for a second thinking you know a person based on your own personal lack of knowledge about them. This is next level shit.

>>72442631

>>72441464
Has it ever been the opposite? Vtuber's model never quite fits them, then one day they make a drastic change and suddenly everything clicks for the audience? There must be a few sucess stories to justify all these duds.

And I mean revamps/redebut, bot downright reincarnation.

>>72441464
This is just Deutschland

>>72443853
It's a funny thing, I can't really think of any other chuubas who look similar per se but toning down her image color this much loses a lot of her identity

>>72444043
I liked Azkis redesign.
>>72443990
She was never a tomboy stereotype to begin with, neither in personality or design. If you thought her old one was "tomboyish" then her new one is just as much.

>>72441464
I now remember pikamee's last model

Anna's graduation really did things to her
Now Chris is graduating in 2 months...
Rene...

>>72444043
Azki is a good example.

>>72442631
People still hate Fubuki you know.

>>72443912
I WILL GET RENE PREGNANT

>>72441464
I like the design, I think it's better than the original honestly. It's just weird because you're so used to the original, give it some time and if you actually watch her it'll be fine. I highly doubt the majority of the people in this thread actually watch Rene though.

>>72443049
She's a shit vtuber witha shit name and shit models. Congrats on your shit taste anon.

>>72443049 (Me)
>>72443305
This is a fair point. Girl's tracking has always been a high point of her models. That aside, I do honestly think the design itself is great and can't put myself in the headspace where it is trashable just because it is marked departure from her previous entries.

>>72444043
Nikki from Idol corp had a redebut not long ago and everyone agrees it's a vast improvement.

>>72444371
it's objectively a good model and I think it suits her personality well but it's a shame we're losing that stupid grin and underboob sexo
>>72443523
the thing that fucks me up with Patra is she hangs on to a lot of illustrations/animations/3D that use her old model even though she hasn't used the 2D version in a long time

>>72443523
chubas have NO FUCKING IDEA about branding and product design

>>72444623
>underboob sexo
See, I've always been more of a fan of Rene looking modest and shit.

>>72444779
Jeans and a body hugging black turtle neck. That'd have done it (and still can she should get a new outfit ASAP new one sucks).

>>72445033
>Jeans and a body hugging black turtle neck.
My guy you have no idea how badly I want a Rene turtleneck.

>>72444690
>/vt/ have NO FUCKING IDEA about branding and product design
Ftfy, as if this thread wasn't enough evidence. They through a pissbaby fit when someone overhauls their look for the better after 4 years of streaming. Go figure.

>>72445114
This is an entirely subjective matter we are discussing.
>for the better
for you.

>>72441464
That sock posting dog girl was a tragic case of this

>>72445114
>people that barely finished mandatory education have the skills to perform a good market research and design a good product

there's a reason why Cover currently prohibits wild hair/eye color changes on holos outfits

>>72445465
>there's a reason why Cover currently prohibits wild hair/eye color changes
>Eye
Tell me more about these prohibited eye colour changes.

>>72445667
>a toggle is a "wild eye colour change"

>>72445789
So they will allow the change if it's a toggle? So it's not prohibited?

>>72443523
The fact that the massive underboob and all the skin she was showing is completely gone means that she didn't like it right?
Very telling when a chuuba finally gets her say on her new design and certain sexual elements are completely erradicated.

>>72441464
WHAT THE FUCK
THEY RUINED HER
I'm gonna anti Nanashi for this shit.

>>72445866
Retard

>>72441464
I don't watch her but one of her song(cover) is on my playlist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JDRqGpM-rk

>>72445465
>there's a reason why Cover currently prohibits wild hair/eye color changes on holos outfits
Yeah, they hate fun.

>>72441464
The more views they get the bigger the ego gets the bigger the ego gets the more larger then life the design gets

>>72445945
The classic response when you have no argument.

>>72442843
>>72441590
>>72443400
If you didn't care enough about her to be there at her new model debut and had to find out on /vt/ instead, your opinion doesn't matter anyway.

>>72445979
Why would anyone bother arguing with a toddler that cant read?

>>72445998
I will protect her smile.

>>72445866
they allow quirks that change their appearance momentarily
they are discouraged to use them for a prolonged time

>>72446013
You said it's prohibited, but you also said it's fine if it's a toggle.

>>72445917
She liked her underboob and sex appeal. She's on record with this, she was also involved with her sailor moon inspired outfit which had amazing underboob.
If you've seen Rene IRL then you know her new design is something she'd be into as well.

>>72441464
I think her new model is cute desu

>>72446097
We've known for a year that the underboob was gonna go in the next outfit, because she expressed multiple times that while she likes it, it also isn't great for official promotions and stage performances.

It doesn't matter how good a new design is, autists hate change so this board always has people shitting themselves whenever a chuuba gets an upgrade. Like the retards who cried about muh goblina IRyS model

>>72441464
as a independent model it would be good but as a redesign?

>>72446193
Yes, but it is important to point out that she did not change it due to disliking her own models sex appeal.

Vox Akuma but thin.

All she needs is the retard fang.

>>72446293
Listen here you faggot. They may both be retards but you keep that faggot’s name away from her.

she's long terminated, but I'm still mad

>>72447158
Was this the one who joined and randomly stopped streaming?

>>72441464
When you compare her first stream to her most recent, it's like day and night. It's as if they're two different people. By themselves, the designs are fine. But, knowing they're both the same person makes you feel a bit of whiplash.

>>72447158
This just looks like the girl wanted to be some generic blue-white angel but had to slap on the tail to keep the feline theme.

>>72441464
Top one looks like a 2hu

>>72441464
Both designs are fine, but they just feel too different to be the same person. It breaks the illusion of the character and forces you to think about the fact that it's just some Japanese women using a digital avatar.

>>72444043
Lia from Phase Connect

>>72445465
>>72445667
>>72445789
>>72445866
>>72446042
Yeah, Lui has a toggle to change her eyes but she keeps her blue/green eyes on default. Kiara wanted to change her hair color for one of her outfits to better match it, but management said no. I can’t think of anyone else that had changes in color besides Suisei’s eyes either

>>72441464
Yuzu went from having a nice model with actual clothes and personality to one thats basically naked and doesnt even match her at all

>>72443523
Yeah. I'm an EOP that clipfags for JPs and gives dead subs to JPs I like.

>>72449224
Based and same

>>72449224
Thats based, boosting their confidence.

If you really want to talk about downgrade, maybe Hikari or Ran, from the same company, would fit better. Mia trashed her entire thing to become a generic cat girl and, even though the model is good, it just didn't click with me. It's a company problem.

>redesign sucks
Obligatory Kaneko Lumi mention.

>>72450236
Animare, sugarlyric etc all have had worst case of sameface syndrome between members so I personally think it's about time they get designs that make them stand out more. Getting new designs probably helped make them stay in company too, I bet there's all kinds of shit going on behind the scenes at 774inc.

>>72450641
Her new model debut was questionable, but her second outfit makes it work much better. It comes as no surprise almost exlusively uses that one these days.

>>72441464
ITS OVER

>>72441464
She looks like a Niji now. Or a Regloss.

>>72450641
In that case, the change was from cute stacy to lewd gigastacy. Teased hair tips, booba, booty shorts, etc.

>>72446097
irl doko

>>72445465
>>72449052
Pink hair Rushia...

>>72452993
>She looks like a Niji now
IS that meant to be a bad thing?

>>72452993
Could be worse. At least she doesn't look like a Holo.

I personally did not like Renes old model. It wasn't Chris-tier, but it was still wonky as fuck looking.
Anna was the only objectively good model of them and my hard-working ring-making wife is DEAD.
>>72442666
I still like Hikaris new model though, gives off retarded daughter vibes.
None of them are bad except Kukus, Kukus new model looks retarded as fuck most of the time. Half the time she's doing squint eyes or 1000 yard stare.
Even that Shizukou change (and resulting spergout) wasn't as bad compared to the Kuku change. At least Shizus new model was decently styled, albeit very different to the cute loli model. Kuku just looks retarded now.

>>72453315
Usual place. You can scroll through her old stuff and look at her interests etc.

>>72453274
>cute stacy to lewd gigastacy
She's never been a stacy. She still isn't one.

>>72446351
This. This is a fucking dealbreaker, weird how no one else mentioned it.

>>72443523
I thought I was alone feeling weird about Patra's indie look. I can't put my finger on it, but something isn't right. I don't feel this Rene redesign either but no attachment since I didn't watch her. Just a casual Mary (and Patra and Anna) enjoyer.

>>72444158
>>72444272
Azki just changed her image from edgy futuristic girl to onee-san but she still is the same character.
Rene v2 is a completely different model. No characteristic features are left from the previous one, except horns I guess.

>>72443523
I only watch her asmr and she stopped using live 2d for them anyway. In any case, I don't mind the switch. Just weird not seeing some type of under boob.

>>72454029
I'd be really sad if Mary, Mico or Sharu got a change since I find their models so pretty and good.
The only one I'd want a redesign for is Ei if it means she'd return
>>72454054
Tail as well

>>72454334
Human Mary is coming.

>>72454475
Yeah when I land in Tokyo and find her through excessive gym jumping that I correlate to her posting on twitter.

>>72453451
sex with kokoro was rough as expected

>>72441464
Many such cases.

>>72455122
This one baffled me. It was so weird, arguably worse than Rene's.

>>72443523
i watch her, but mostly her ASMRs. she hearted my comments atleast 3 times now. and yes, i dont like how theres no underboob which is symbolic.

>>72445114
Vtubers doing this style of redesign has more in common with all the companies with distinctive logos going for flat two color logos and then having to reverse course because they tank sales. This is far from the worst I've seen, since she appears to have at least some level of taste, but the point stands.

>>72441464
This happened because I stopped watching her
I shouldn't have stopped watching her.

>>72443204
What the fuck, why? This one was super pretty.

>>72441464
Model downgrade thread?

>>72456031
>Just fuse the fox wives together and call it a day

>>72456031
Jesus fucking christ it looks like she had her soul removed by Satan himself wtf happened?

>>72441464
I like Rene's beautiful deep voice so I don't care about this that much, but changing her S tier original design was always going to be a bad idea.

>>72446351
Honestly, yeah. The asymetrical horns stayed and the colors are close enough, but that stupid little fang is far more iconic and recognizable for her (this said as an outsider to her stuff). It'd also add a unique cuteness to her face, which is a huge plus to counteract anime's issue with samefacing

>>72443131
But she barely has porn

>>72456031
Two vastly different styles. I could see some people prefering right even if I don't agree. The robes look neat too.

What really kills it is the fucking double ears that make her look like a tumblr abomination minus rainbow of a color palette.

>>72456031
Both shit desu

>>72453331
That had very mixed reaction back then. I remember her being distressed on stream about comments saying they liked green hair better

>>72447920
where did she get that outfit from? looks like ff14. I hate these half skirts.

>>72456031
I don't know who this is, but from these two images my first guess is that she was from a small corpo that collapsed and her first modeler broke off contact so she had to go for some twitch slop artist.

HUGE downgrade

>>72458863
I think the current one she has right now is fine since its just an upgrade of the original one but good lord the one inbetween those 2 that she had to have a pool on stream to prevent herself from getting banned was horrid

>>72444298
And they're retarded.

>>72458226
She's an indie that mainly does ASMR and VR porn.

>>72460652
Of fucking course she does

>>72444043
Lia

Tried to edit colors a bit, but it might just be that the art style is drastically different. The new design is fine on its own (even if the colors kind of blend together), it's just a big jump.

>>72462469
I like yours better. Red hair and eyes shouldve stayed (and fang of course).

>>72462469
Much, much better. Though her smile is still gone.

>>72462469
Not bad

Long hair is always better.

>>72445998
this

>>72441464
>"Ha, this is a troll! No way this is real."
>IT'S FUCKING REAL
WTF RENE!!! YOUR UNDERBOOBS!!

>>72456031
What a waste abandoning this.

>>72456258
I think that's precisely what she was going for.

>>72462469
>art fixing like Twitter sisters
The absolute state of /vt/

>>72447920
It looks boring

>>72441739
The thing is "better made" does not translate to "more likeable", falling for a solid formula only leads to stagnation and industrialization, that's why we need artstyles, being a little fucked up very much adds to the charm if it's the right thing, it's all about taste. Also a lot of the time more detail only adds mental taxation to onlookers, you want enough to differentiate yourself, but not so much that people can't instantly catch what you're about.

>Rene
>GirlDM
>Nina
I hate this. I hate these shitty fucking model downgrades.

>>72459449
Na. Fubuki's new model is trash to, lost all of her outfits and it just looks weird when she's with the other girls.

>>72469946
which Nina?

>>72455122
I was fine with the dino, but the isekai one was realy bad.

>>72470202

I dont like the loli model, I liked her old ones.

>>72470469
yeah, with you on that one
I fell in love with picrel and it's not been the same
