Silhouette is important in character design and can be used as an aspect to make it more unique when the concept isn't. It is also important for targeting the audience you want. In your second batch, the silhouette is especially baggy and has unflattering proportions. If you want it to be more sexy, then choose clothes or proportions that complement the body best. Cuter characters have baggier clothes, but still have nice proportions. The shape of the skirts and the big jacket and sleeves obscure the body and don't have very eyecatching proportions. If you want to exaggerate one thing a lot, I suggest making other things smaller or not there at all. I made a quick sketch of a design that I think has a more unique and appealing silhouette. Design is really difficult and there's a lot of things to consider that you don't even think of but affect the overall impression by a lot. I'm rooting for you anon! Hope to see you thrive.

Easier said than done

I'm 3 drink so that's the only reason i will post here.
I prob won't commish until i'm sure i can get views so i drew myself a png, but i suck at draw
what does you /asp/ies think of it? cute enuough to work with?

I'll smack me some basics and shadings but it won't be that good cuase i can't into colors. but i'll just tuse that on my stream and not need feedback if this is fine?

>>6647906
your design is very cute and friend shaped and I wish you the best of luck dealing with being 3 drink

What's a good program to use for my avatar? Animaze if finnicky, but I don't want to pay $15 for facerig. I could pay for it, but I'd rather not, if there's any other options

>>6647906

Definitely good enough to get some clicks once you have some flat colours on it. The design is cute, has a sort of casual fantasy vibe, also very easy for other people to do fanart.
Be more confident, this isn't a bad drawing.

>>6648013
Theres a free version of prprlive but it kind of has weird tracking
I'd honestly say just go with vtube studio

>>6648013
If 2D, VTubeStudio is free and on steam. There's a watermark in the bottom of the screen when you have tracking on unless you pay, but it's easy to crop out.

>>6648013
Vtube Studio seems to be the current standard for Live2d. At least in the EN scene.

Speaking of Vroid, I updated my Vroid pastebin. Adding some organization and explanation for the links. Anything else you guys think I should add?

vroid+wakaru. Yay or nay? Doing it for the fun.

How do you get good at talking consistently?

>>6648676
I tried wakaru and I liked VseeFace more. Their both free so no reason not to try them both out.

Had my longest stream so far tonight, over two and a half hours. Didn't have that many viewers (about 5) but had some good chat going and had myself a lot of fun. Thanks if it was any of you who stopped by!

>>6647800
Cute

>>6648915
>VseeFace
I'll check this one out.

>>6647906
Cute, possible colors

>>6649467
I like it because it's simple to use for a brainlet like me, but if you wanted you can have way more complexity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGs2UVMjnms https://www.youtube.com/c/Suvidriel/videos

>>6649539
oof i like arigatou, the ones i picked were garbo.

anyone csp pro and know how to make lines black maybe? i used reddish browns for hte lineart vasuse someone said it was a good idea, but when i color it it looks baaaad
man i wish i was good at colors

>>6649720
No prob!
I don't use csp but u should be able to click filter somewhere and adjust the brightness until it's black. Alternatively, you can make a new layer and use clipping above the lineart to color it however you want. Usually I use brown lineart and it's better for cuter, softer colors.

>>6648878
it's really just practice. no other way around it.

>>6648878
I did it through years of customer service and then years of being a teacher. Just talk to yourself while you do stuff.

>>6648878
Teaching, previous experience streaming, and just thinking out words to myself when I play certain video games all helped me with that
If there's anything I'm confident in with my streaming it's that I don't ever really have that much dead air
However, the next step is that you gotta make sure that your words are engaging to the audience as a whole

>>6649720
Lock opacity and black paint bucket

>>6650179
yyeah i was defaulting ot my normals blacks and greys in it looked terrible.
i think this works, what ya think? unless something in particular is bad just gonna use it cause i'm almost ready for bed./

>>6652394
New to the thread, is it supposed to be a trap?

>>6652790
uh, i wouldn't turn down the hidden shota buff.
but i just wanted to make a cute bunny alchemist.

I've got a good one that hasn't been done yet: someone who actually fucking knows how chess is played. I mean look at this shit: https://lichess.org/study/FLHEBQVq
LOOK

A artist I follow is thinking of opening Live2d commissions. https://twitter.com/Ayukirinn/status/1415999610082844673

>>6653461
Chess is a meme game.
Fuck Chess and everyone who circlejerks about it.

I'd dig an RTS streamer though.

>>6653784
RTS is a dead genre

>>6654093
Your mom's vagina is a dead genre.

It's so discouraging seeing people get thousands of followers and partner super fast on twitch like I don't get the secret
I have a steady 10-15 viewers without raids which I love and appreciate so much but I only have around 200 followers which makes me feel like people don't wanna stick around or something I just don't get it

>>6653784
you missed when like 4 RTS streamers debuted all around the same time in /wvt/ though only one of them is currently actively streaming, one is coming off of hiatus soon, one quit, and one streams fairly infrequently

>>6654702
>It's so discouraging seeing people get thousands of followers and partner super fast on twitch like I don't get the secret
the first 10 seconds of this video should explain it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCa_4c_wWus

>>6654702
>I only have around 200 followers
going off that average 1% viewer rate, 10-15 viewers for just 200 followers is actually incredible. you should really only be expecting 2 viewers for 200 followers. everything else is just finding a way to get your name out there.

>>6655529
I don't think that's how it works, the average 1% viewer rate is an average and I would bet that people with low following have better than that

>>6655564
it's called the "average" for a reason you fucking knob

>>6655576
You don't understand how statistics works

>>6655592
nta but statistics would dictate that there are both people above and below that
at least you're not the 200 follower haver that has 0views...

>>6655592
>being this much of a pedant
how much did it hurt you not to start your reply with "well acktuallee"?

>>6655611
Yes, and what I'm saying is that the people with less than 1% viewership are probably people with extremely high following while the people with more are probably people with low following. It's also probably skewed depending on how long you've been on the platform, if you're just starting out you'll have less "dead" followers

>>6655620
You're the one being aggressive for no reason here

Vtuber twitter going off today over autists getting cancelled

>>6656862
So nothing out of the ordinary?

>>6656862
Ah, yes, a day ending the letter Y.

>>6656862
Saw a few long posts and quitting notices

>>6656862
i'm not seeing anything, got a link?

>>6657009
Just search autistic vtuber

>>6654702
How long ago did you start streaming? not all streamers get thousands of viewers and get partnered overnight. Look how ironmouse streamed for 30 viewers or less for 3-4 years and THEN making it. Don't expect to be an internet sensation in a couple of months, do it for fun first THEN if you make it, you make it

>>6656862
>>6657003
links?

Hey guys. Looking for someone to rig my Vtuber model, send me an email if you're interested. I'm willing to pay.

>>6657147
magicalboymiuuwu@gmail.com

>>6657147
rig it yourself

>>6652394
I would change the boots to a darker color like brown to add contrast and break up all the pink. Otherwise nice! I hope your streams go well.

>>6657180
: don't have any experience and I would like it professionally done.

>>6656862
qrd?

>>6657147
Why would you want something like that rigged?

>>6657214
Might be more to it but an autistic vtuber got accused of being transphobic for a cringe joke. They explained they were autistic, got accused of using it as a shield, apologised like you should never do, ended up in the hospital and quit twitter. Other autists coming out now shaming people for cancel culture

>>6657365
Dare I ask what the joke even was?

>>6657365
>apologised like you should never do
I'm like convinced that simply never responding to any accusations is the only way to get through a cancellation attempt. Like honestly just pretending like it doesn't exist, muting/blocking people who bring it up, and just never mentioning it again. Seems to be the only way to get through something unscathed.

>>6657387
"It's okay to fuck catboys because it's still a pussy" or something like that

>>6657426
wow of all the jokes to get offended at, too.

No one really gets cancelled. Some rando 2views won't like you, so what? Did they even watch you? Get the fuck over it.

https://twitter.com/ArtsyGrandpa/status/1415799407270932482?s=19
This group seems to actually be pretty good at bringing people together to support one-another. Tons of free VTuber assets and advice in the discord already.

>>6657365
>Implying you should ever joke about that
You should always be serious when shitting on trannies. It saves lives.

Did anyone watch any of the debuts tonight? What'd you think?

>>6657816
Aren't they all tomorrow?

>>6657415
Most of the time people should follow this but there are few and rare times when apologizing actually does something. Take for example the Veibae and Kiara debacle, the clip of Vei shittalking Holo and the girls came out and instead of acknowledging she didn't know what she was talking about back then, that she changed her mind about the girls after growing close to Kiara and maybe even apologizing for making assumptions about them, she went Streissand and started DMCAing and trying to get that clip deletedd off the internet, and when that didn't pan out she blamed Kiara and dipped out.
Other than that, never apologize.
>>6657426
>>6657457
Not a terribly good or bad joke but vtwatters are just tumblrtards.

>>6657859
Half of Cyberlive was today and

>>6657816
CL? The donation stuff was messy, they probably could have hinted at it earlier to get feedback without showing any cards, but the debuts themselves were really good. I think they struck a decent balance between well-prepared enough to run smoothly while still feeling like a genuine display of the talent's personality.

>>6658426
>blamed Kiara and dipped out.

What? I've not heard this part, but the rest of it has checked out

I had a hell of a tarot stream tonight, but I feel I crossed several lines I shouldn't have.

>>6658924
The highlight, or low point, was breaking down and deciding to cast a literal curse.

>>6658924
We told you not to summon the demons, retard.

>>6659000
clips, now

>>6659028
I'll do it tomorrow. I didn't expect to actually step over the line into witchcraft. Plus curses only rebound if they're cast against people, and communists arent people.


I wouldnt worry about it. The main thing is that I finished the stream with a record number of viewers.

>>6659101
>communists arent people.
Based

>>6658589
Vei tapped out of the collab and went "I don't want the hate it was Kiara's idea anyway" and seemed like she tried to debarrassr herself from the whole drama.

>>6658570
>>6635636

general opinion is hylo and yuri ok, lumi 10/10

>>6659229
I also got as drunk as I could possibly be, so my stream quality is probably absolutely dogshit near the end of it all. Oddly enough that seemed to appeal to a lot of viewers.

>>6653461
I was wondering about this, but I feel like it's a thing people would only watch if you're super high rated, like, would they want to watch someone who's only around 1100 rated?

>>6657415
That's why Jschlatt can get away with the shit he does

>>6653784
>>6654376
calm down ame

How often do you tweet? How do you actually get connections on twitter? It feels like massive clout chasing to even @someone on twitter.

>>6660233
I make tweets a day, an hour and right before I go live as well as a tweet after the stream thanking everyone which amounts to 4 tweets per stream
Aside from that I try to make at least one or two tweets a day about whatever; sometimes clips, memes, or short content but sometimes it's a goofy text post
It's usually good form to @ the people who raided you and if you like, make art for them you can usually tag them in that too
My twitter numbers are probably just middle of the road though in terms of house long I've been active; 5 months with about 550 followers

>>6660405
>5 months for 550
>I'm sitting at 4 months with just over 100
sigh.

>>6660692
I honestly don't know how it happened either I'll be honest and also it's worth mentioning that a lot of /here/chuubas sit at around 100-200 followers but most of them still have more average viewers than I do so I wouldn't put too much stock into that as long as you're finding other avenues to pull people into your stream

>>6660692
>>6660743
If you want a good indicator of how to play the twitter game look at retsubol on twitter, she's an aspie who used artist buff to accumulate 1000+ in about 2 months.

>>6660743
I suppose I might as well take the opportunity to ask about performance too

>>6660761
I'm following her, but I don't have artist buff.

>>6660795
whats up with that one 20 hours stream? how long you been streaming on twitch?

Isn’t it vtubing, not vtweeting?

>>6660880
This is average viewers, not stream length. Most of my streams average around 3 hours, some longer some shorter.
That first peak was my moving from YT to Twitch stream, I've only been on twitch for about 3 weeks of the 4 months since I started streaming

>>6657325
It has soul.

>>6660233
I post an announcement before I go live on Twitter, a thank you afterwards, and I go on ~3 times a day (coffee break/lunch time), and scroll through, commenting and liking where I can have input.

The other thing I've been doing is scheduling tweets with clips of my stream, so that I never have a dead-day. If it was clipped by a viewer, tag them and thank them.

There was a recent thread I found that was a 'which stats are you struggling to hit affiliate with', and everyone there is now following each other.

What I've found is embrace the scuff.

I make REALLY shitty edits of memes with my PNG overlaid. And then post them where relevant. I get a chunk of traction from each one, especially if I'm not obnoxious with the tagging.

>>6660936
I'm dumb. I guess you didn't convert a lot of your youtube audience to twitch, but its not too bad as a start

>>6661179
Most of the YT audience were Japanese viewers, so Twitch is a dead zone for that. Granted, there were still only like... 3-4 of them when I switched over to Twitch so it wouldn't have been a significant boost anyways

>>6661223
Thats very interesting. Yeah, japanese like youtube. There are still some that are dedicated and are on twitch but most prefer youtube. Veibae got a sizeable japanese audience that mostly discovered her from youtube clips and they started using twitch because of her.

dont you have to be a girl to be one of these things?

>>6661770
No.

>>6661770
Yes.

>>6661942
>4chan dudes want to make it as anime dudes

Does anyone have any tips for advertising streams? I currently do twitch streams but I have little ideas on where to advertise and is it possible to switch to YouTube as well with OBS?

>>6666666
Wasted

>>6674608
Do you use twitter? Do you advertise in communities relevant to what you're streaming? Those are the two main big things for getting your name out there.
Also yes you can multistream through OBS though unless you get lucky, it's a lot harder to grow on youtube.

>>6674608
>Advertising
Twitter, TikTok, here and WVT, discord

>Switch to YT
Don't do it, YT isn't good for small chuubas

>>6657202
aight, thanks anon. was much appreciated.

>>6674608
someone posted a youtube video from a general twitch streamer which still stands
1 - find existing communities who you want to be your audience
2 - sit in stream chats and hang out with the streamer, be known as a regular and a friendly chatter
3 - connect with the streamers and viewers in those streams
4 - when you're well liked and accepted, casually drop something about your stream "oh hey I streamed this game a while back, it's a real good one, you're going to like this!"
don't post links and never say you're going live with #4 and only say it when you actually have a good rapport with the streamer and are recognized as a regular in their chat
if you're not autistic you can tell when they know you and like you

>>6652394
flip it to black and white and see if it's still clear. you have a lot of similarly saturated and bright pastel colors which might be hard to distinguish

What's the rules for self-shilling here, or is it only allowed in WVT and the back desk?

>>6666666
Everything jelly they didn't get views on their audition. I would say good luck, but looks like you already have it. I'll see you on the other side soon.

>>6675491
you can shill here but i think most here post their links if they want feedback

>>6675491
Self-shilling in /asp/ is usually seen as the preliminaries while you're getting streaming reps in. You shill on /wvt/ and the back room/alley when you feel more established. Granted these are just guidelines. Realistically you can shill to all three threads whenever you like.

>>6675491
if you're looking for feedback and advice, post here
if you're shilling, post in /wvt/

Hello friends my name is Alanis and I am an up in coming vtuber! I would like an invitation into the aspcore to join you lovely people in creating vtuber content! Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!

>>6678705
you won't get an invite on here, but you should set up your social media presence first (i wasn't able to find your twitter or twitch, are you streaming on youtube?) and then reach out to one that's already in. if you check out /wvt/ you'll see a few of them popping up regularly.

>>6679089

Spending about 150$ to get different artist takes on my sketch since my original artist person hasn't made any progress since like 2 months ago. I'm surprised I managed to be sub $400

sigh do I really have to use twitter? I dob't normally use social media and it'a pain for me trying to think of things to tweet about. Will people follow me if I post my mediocre drawings?

>>6680168
>sigh do I really have to use twitter?
you don't 'have' to, but you're entering a field where it's all about having an audience. you can't get viewers if they don't know you exist. with how big the internet is, it's basically impossible for people to stumble upon your content organically

For all the twitter whiners, twitter is only as bad as who you follow. Your content is (mostly) curated by what the people you like, like and retweet (but you can also use browser extensions to turn off seeing their likes). If you don't follow twitter drama whores then you won't *see* the twitter drama whores. If someone on your follow promotes the twitter drama, quietly either mute them or unfollow them. Curate your feed.

>>6680168
You don't have to be a sperg with it.
But its useful for communication purposes. Rather than checking a bunch of different emails that get spammed with all types of nonsense, people can just check your twitter and see relevant information easily like your schedule, if you're on hiatus, if a stream was delayed, any images you've posted, etc...

you don't need to talk about your lunch or what you're thinking about 24/7, you can keep it 100% professional.

>>6680398
This is a lie though.
>don't follow anyone but well established vtuber
>hit the little X when it recommends me stupid shit
>still constantly puts autism Vtweeter drama on my front page and random irl-celeb shit
hugh jackman flirting with ryan was pretty cute though, my holywood otp.

>>6680513
i've been using my twitter since Feb/March of this year and having seen a single vtweeter drama post. you have to go out of your way to get that shit on your timeline or actively interact with it which trains the algorithm to push more vtweeter drama to you.

so whatever you're doing, you're causing the problem to yourself.

>>6680513
If you're using mobile twitter, you're fucked to click xes for the rest of your life. If you're using it as a tool as you properly should be, just get a minimal twitter browser extension.

>>6680513
Use either an external app or tweetdeck on PC, mute a lot, deactivate retweet a lot

>>6666666

On it

I WANT MY FUCKING MODEL

>>6689228
SO GO FUCKING TAKE IT

So in general cyberlive after all the debuts was looking for cute girl voices who sing and some multilingual, or at least that's what they got. I don't feel so bad about getting rejected then, I guess nerd coding girl without a cute voice who doesn't sing doesn't fit what they wanted. They'll have gen 2 auditions in august, so I won't have to worry.

>>6689266
Do you sound like a granny? Or a tranny? What defines a "not cute" voice?

>>6689266
I would stay the fuck away from Cyberlive if I were you

>>6689266
>nerd coding girl without a cute voice who doesn't sing
While your skills are great for other things without a doubt, why would a group want something like this when the point is to attract simps? Have you started off as an indie yet, you may be better off

>>6689317
Why? That star girl seems like she'll be carrying the group.

>>6689306
I sound like a teenage boy with a little scraping from my GERD.

>>6689329
Yeah I'm already indie and getting there, already affiliate. Cyberlive is the only one I applied to so that's why I'm so interested in what they wanted in the end.

>>6689317
What impressions do you have?

Any tutorials on this?

>>6689366
Have you tried applying for shonen anime?

>>6689482
I know this is a joke, but I can't voice act. I'm getting better at emoting though.

>>6689482
was about to ask the same thing. do you have an "Ash Ketchum" style voice? Most EN shonen heroes are voiced by girls who can pull off raspy teen boy voices

>>6689366
If you've ever heard Meru from Tsunderia, she has a pretty dorky scratchy voice.
Might take some work, but you could probably land something similar and its endearing as fuck.

>>6689266
>coding
Finally, good content

>>6689249
i'm waiting for my artist to finish it

>>6689533
I'm getting know for my art right now though, but yeah coding is fun. Game dev too. There's a small group of vtubers in there, so I'm learning indies is more fun the corporate idols in general, but I was just making a comment on cyberlive if anyone was thinking of gen2. There's a certain type in corporate and agencies that are copying hololive, so if you can't sing or do moe voice just give up and be indie, it's better that way.

weird pro tip
stick your ass out for better back posture when you're stream and stop slouching you quasimodo looking buttsluts

>>6689710
hamstring and hip flexor stretches will also help with lower back pain/posture/pelvic tilt

>>6690562
Having a standing desk option is a good idea for some people, too

world's gonna end, climate change is gonna kill us all in a couple of decades, so go chase your chuuba dreams

>>6693394
Man I fucking wish.

>>6693394
So many dreams, not enough time to shove them all in.
I'll stream TEW1 tomorrow I guess after lunch. Just so I can start pushing myself in the habbit even if i suck,.

>>6693394
I am too warm to do anything except die right now.

>>6693394
I just want an ice age. Or really anything other than summer. Summer sucks.

>>6693394
been hit with a heatwave the past couple of days, add my pc heating my room on top and it's just suffering.

https://twitter.com/yyzu_/status/1416596098349633537
this shit better become standard for riggers

>>6701269
na.
you don't need a full side view, there's basically no situation its used. More work means less quality in the spots we actually care about.

>>6701269
If you want rigging to be more expensive, sure.

>>6697235
>>6694047
>>6699534
Same. I'm sweating so goddamn bad, I don't have AC, it's still 90% humidity out, and I can't have a fan on while I'm streaming because of the noise. Still, just wrapped up a really fun hour and a half of streaming, feeling better every stream about how things are going.

>>6647684
Hit me. Who the fuck do I have to blow and what do I have to do to have a snail's chance in hell to pass the NijiEN male audition?

>>6702534
apply

>>6702611
I mean yes, but on top of that? I'm nervous. I have a decent rig and I'm reasonably entertaining and have ridiculous gaming cred (albeit in autistic shit - I think I've hit Grandmaster on Shadowverse like 10 times now), but I'm scared the pool will be a bunch of like multi-thousand view streamers who speak Japanese and can sing and I'll be blown the fuck out.

Then again the penguin was apparently debuting on her goddamn laptop so maybe I do have a shot?

>>6702864
your rig doesn't matter. your talent and draw as an entertainer matters. and at the end of the day, whatever you bring to the table needs to not only good, but align with what the company is looking for, broad, mainstream appeal to a wide audience.

>>6702934
Shit, am I fucked? Next to my 3000 hours logged in card games are my 3000 hours logged as a tabletop GM on Roll20. Am I too niche?

>>6703058
yeah, that's pretty shit, maybe you'll do well as an indie and hit mid 40s active viewers

>>6702864
>>6703058
>another TCG player
This makes me more confident that there's an audience

>>6703058
games are not niche

>>6702864
I can speak some japanese, but I can't sing. Right at the moment I'll be the only competition you know of. So if you think you can beat that then apply.

Is it a no go if I just cop a model from booth? I know there's some general usage license and they seem to cover all the basics, but is it recommended?

>>6703965
Do you plan on becoming a big dick indie streamer or is it only to build up to an audition?

>>6703965
that's fine. there's plenty who are using pre-made models to get started.

>>6703965
Worked for feef and he's now top male even and dangerously approaching Holostar level

>>6704054
Grind exp.
>>6704056
>>6704103
K.

>>6703316
I'm applying as well, but barbershop quartets are probably the most niche thing possible, and the most concurrent viewers I've had is like 15, so you're probably safe to apply

>>6704301
Don't sell yourself short either, barbershop anon. You're pretty based.

>>6704103
don't tease feef like that. he's gonna lose all his viewers when he finished Strive and I'm sad

>>6702864
Do you have any experience streaming at all? Your PC doesn't matter, your gaming experience doesn't matter, none of that matters past "Can you run the programs for streaming". You need to be an entertainer, you need to have a good voice. If you can't manage that bare minimum, you're ngmi

>>6704436
Thanks anon. I'm going to apply, but I'm also just having a great time getting used to streaming and meeting people. If I can get people interested in a type of music they've never thought about before, I also take that as a win. There's a pretty cool community out there, and it's fun watching other vtubers.

Here's one of the five quartets I recorded during tonight's stream. These will be going up as individual clips on YouTube and Twitch tomorrow. Gotta keep making that content!

In the Good Old Summertime

other avenues besides one game

>>6705645
Yeah, he only happens to dip by over half his viewership when he isn't playing strive by total and complete coincidence

>>6705747
I liked his Ring Fit and Creed streams...

>>6706713
You can like them, I just like him as a streamer in general, but inbetween two 70+ GG streams was a Ring Fit stream with half the viewership.

just two - three more weeks left till the male nijisanji auditions close, you anons aren't planning on procrastinating till the last minute, now are you? i'm feeling a little paranoid over my somewhat one paragraph sentences, so don't be like me and do that

>>6710909
I'm just trying to get as much streaming experience/content as I can since I only started recently. I'm planning on submitting it probably by next week.

>>6710909
No sense in even trying.

>>6711447
100% sense in trying.
If you don't get accepted, you can at least be comfortable knowing you tried and didn't kept laying down because of lazyness or insecurity.

>>6666666
faggot

Any tips in finding an artist for an original design? This part has been more difficult than I imagined as everyone with an art style I like has closed commissions. Cost isn't an issue.

>>6710909
Imagine If I did my reps instead of not doing my reps. OH well, such is life.

>>6711877
I commissioned an artist off skima to do an OC design for me, you have to ask if they would take an english commission first. You might get lost on the site cause its all in japanese, just use chrome to translate the page.. you'll usually see a service called "TRPG" under "Design" for creating original designs.

Selen Tatsuki of Nijisanji EN just admitted to spending 30 minutes on her audition and she got into Nijisanji.

>>6711877
Just ask a random artist on twitter for a sketch/draft and then use it as a reference for the artist you really want to make your model.
Simple as.

>>6712077
Wasn't she pretty big before hand?

>>6712002
I'll check that out, thanks.

>>6712099
Well yeah getting a sketch isn't hard, finding a good artist with open commissions is.

>>6712107
I believe 226 views was her highest.
Before Nijisanji I had never heard of her.

>>6712077
The video, specifically. You should mostly be featuring your existing work in the audition. It makes sense.

>>6712387
Triple digits is still more than.. everyone here I'm pretty sure. Not that it's worth giving up but it's the gap between having to think about your audition for 30 minutes and having to put effort into it.

>>6711877
I just put a scarf on myself... If you wanna know how low effort it can get.

I'm going to debut early august, my avatar i did it myself because (hentai artista btw), my 2d is made by Brian, focusing in fps, art and humilliating my community.

>>6712720
lmao

>>6712720
sounds like you've got everything lined up and ready to go. good luck, anon.

Do we have a word for someone larping as an insanely popular eceleb who you know would never in a million years post on fucking 4chan, much less with their name brazenly attached to their posts?

>>6712950
A faggot

>>6712720
Saruei posts here?? proof pls (chicken on twitter?). I love your art

I probably cant give much supports other than subs and watch (You)r streams occasionally, when im free from works, but i genuinely wish (You) anons success and most importantly have fun.

>>6713305
Thanks man. Good luck at your job. Hope it's something fulfilling.

submitted my nijien audition today. I know they email you if you entered the second round but do they inform you if you've been rejected?

>>6713373
It specifically says they don't. Which is frustrating. Good luck, my guy.

>>6713413
guess I'll wait a couple days then move on if there's still nothing.

I just want to tell all of you aspiring 'tubers good luck, have fun and believe in yourselves.

>>6712387
For comparison sake, Amelia was also this high

>>6713515
They aren't going to start looking through them until after August 1st. They say that it may be "up to a month or more" after that point. I'd say give it a week to get views on your video then just assume though.

Don't you just love it when you're looking for friends among VTubers and it turns out literally half of them are narcissistic assholes who only want you around so you can pad their ego?

Fuck it, I'm not walking the extra mile for anyone anymore, literally nobody I'm talking to actually cares about being friends, they just want me to tell them they're awesome whenever their dopamin is low.

>>6715739
lol did you imaqine anything else? One of my associates stopped talking to me after I told them they were not my type.

>>6715739
Its almost like some people get into streaming because they like attention even more than they like entertaining others.

>>6715871
I mean considering the massive amount of drama in the vtuber community surrounding a bunch of sociopathic narcissists, this is a given.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting attention as well as entertaining others, but I see a lot of VTubers becoming increasingly horny and slutty because they completely lack personality or charm. I'm not saying you can't be sexy, I'm just saying it ain't no replacement for being actually entertaining.

re: VShojo

>>6715739
Try asking about what music they're into. Good icebreaker and a way to see if you can truly vibe with them. Also a way to test red flags and if they're trying to pull a Bateman on you.

>>6716213
>trying to pull a Bateman
A what? Over music?

>>6716353
Your movie reps, anon, do them.

>>6712226
Fiverr is alright for finding artists, it's just finding one with a style you like that can be a problem. On the other hand, might be worth using a cheap shitty artist there (five dollar sketch level) to get a composite base for your first sketch, and then you can pass that on to a better artist.

I found an artist I kind of liked, and they did my avatar, but they kind of uglified the end-point. I went and found a cheery anime artist, and got them to make a much cheerier version. So I now have 'dark mode' and 'light mode' avatar, and I can switch between them depending on what I'm doing.

>>6715739
Makes me wish I had a better PC to stream with. I just want to be friends with people and encourage them.

>>6716492
You can be supportive as a viewer too anon. But don't get into VTubing with that attitude, you will end up the wankrag for hundreds of shitty people.

Do you need BGM if you're playing games?
I'd rather just let the games BGM take over for everything since at least for now I don't need the opening and closing segments since nobody gives a fuck enough about me to wait for me.

>>6716906
>>Nobody cares about me

Having an opening, bgm and a closing segment is nice window dressing. It makes it look more professional and that you're giving a damn.

Nobody plays their BGM during a game unless the game has no music, tho

>>6716906
Nah, just find some obscure (usually obscure game) music that won't get hit by DMCAs or anything like that if you need it. I still say you should practice having a waiting period.

>>6716701
Thanks for the advice. No worries though, I'm a very good judge of character. The only people that get friendship are those that truly appreciate it.

If you're playing a game that doesn't have its own music enough, or sandbox shit like minecraft, play your own

>>6716958
Honestly if anything, you might get the point across better as a viewer in terms of encouragement. When streamers get together there's a lot of toes that don't want to get stepped on, you'd eventually get into an awkward situation if you became a streamer and tried to do stuff like that.

>>6716951
it doesn't need to be obscure, next to no game music will get you hit on Twitch, and there's lots of artists (FIXT label specifically) that allow their music to be used on Twitch 100% free and have official statements stating that

>>6717017
I have found myself entangled in drama simply by following people on Twitter, or being loose "friends" with two people whose relationship suddenly sour.

Seriously, don't associate with other VTubers if you're a VTuber. Stay in your own lane, and even then that might not always protect you from the drama.

>>6717096
to no one's suprise, the indie vtuber scene is full of garbage trying to get their name out there, even if it's through petty drama. Treat collab's like business meetings, don't bother making friends, it'll be better for your mental health latter down the line

>>6717429
ib4 some VTweeter finds this thread and starts screaming about how VTubing isn't about becoming famous, or successful, or popular, or making money, but ABOUT MAKING FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDS!

Good on you for spending huge amounts of your money and time entering into a niche content creation industry to do what you could have done just as easily at your local game store or cricket club.

>>6717502
I mean... to an extent it is.
VTubing is terrible for making it famous or even making money. You're essentially trying to be an actor here. Most of us are just in it for the hobby and because we enjoy it, trying to get into it for money is a recipe for being a miserable failure.
I'm just trying to join the local theater club essentially and maybe at most get in on the local rendition of cats.

You guys can make friends, just don't get heavily invested in them. Its like real life, you make friends to hang out with and shoot the shit with, but if they start shooting up heroine you distance yourself asap.

>>6717555
Speak for yourself. I'm making decent dosh for the amount of time I'm putting in and I get to play games I otherwise wouldn't have, plus I basically get free practice in for any eventual rebrand I might do down the road.

>>6717583
Sure you are bro.
I make more doing my normal job than fubuki ever will, and unlike her I have job security and retirement plans.

Unless you're a SEAfag, you're never going to make decent cash on vtubing unless you're the top of hololive, and even then you're going to peak in 3 years top and disappear forever. Maybe at best turn into vidya voice acting which is shit money.

>>6717632
Did I say I do this fulltime?
I said for the time I put in. I totally don't mind the 500 bucks extra a month I get for putting on a role while playing games and being entertaining for 12 hours a week.

It's not a lot of money and I can't live off it, which is why I still have my day job. If I wasn't having fun streaming, I wouldn't do it, but having fun AND getting paid is a plus to me.

Thinking of becoming an art vtuber and stream drawing comms. How do I get paid without revealing personal information about myself?

I usually just use Paypal invoices. But I'm looking for another way to get paid without revealing my name, etc.

>>6717708
>If it wasn't fun I wouldn't do it
>paid is a plus

> Most of us are just in it for the hobby and because we enjoy it,
I hope your job has nothing to do with literacy.

>>6717739
Considering I've been at this for less than six months, and that there's been a steady monthly growth in my income, I dunno anon, maybe I'm retarded for thinking that there will continue to be some kind of growth to the point where I can l reduce my work time at my other job?

I am doing it for the money. Making money AND having fun is not the same as "I'm having fun and getting paid is a plus" it's "I'm getting paid and having fun is a plus"

Learn to read retard.

>>6717793
This is an English website, you should probably learn it.

>>6717555
I'm looking at vTubing like any other hobby. In fact, it's pretty much replaced Warhammer for my time. So any cash I would have spent on WH, by virtue of not being spent, is a profit.

Being a chuuba has still cost me more than not having any hobby, but not much because I'm still only pngTubing, and doing my own scuffed overlays.

It's also a nice escape from working in finance. I always wanted to work in the arts, but my drama coach in college told me I'd 'grow into my looks'. Then I was in an accident that means I won't

>>6717730
Set up a business paypal. Do it in streamlabs, and they're slightly better about not giving refunds than direct donations are. Alternatively, use Ko-fi, Patreon, or a BTC wallet

>>6717502
>>6717555
Vtubing in general for /asp/ies is very focused on networking and making yourself visible to start off with.

I can't count the number of times i've seen debut streams get a ton of viewers and all sorts of fellow "friend" vtubers show up, then when that debut streamer actually starts streaming for real none of those people who turned up show up every again. It's extremely leechy and comes across as fake and being used.

At the end of the day (You) as a chuuba are in direct competition with everyone who streams at the same times as you since most people can only really focus on one stream. Make sure people choose you over the competition and don't just try to go for that fake unity shit under the guise of le wholesome making friends. Also don't join discords, they are cancer circlejerks.

>>6718129
Exactly this.
You're not trying to be an actor because that would imply you're part of a troupe.

You're one channel of thousands on cable. You're the entire show.

>>6718129
I don't know if I would consider it leechy.
VTubers shouldn't expect other VTubers to be their regulars or viewers.

>>6718129
It's not leechy, it's them wanting to support you during your big moment. The people leaving you are chuubas, what you're left with are the viewers who liked you enough to stay. Chuubas shouldn't and cannot be your audience, ever.

Signed up to a few orgs and didn't make it but still doing my best as an indie! I'm on Twitch, but is there a reason all these orgs choose Youtube over it? They all seem to be doing well, but at the same time I've seen many indies move to Twitch from Youtube and do better than they did on Youtube. Is it just something about corporate vtubers?

Twitch is definitely better for small streamers.

Dedicated VTuber tag, Raids, lots of fun ways for your audience to interact with your stream through plugins, etc.

YouTube has a bigger potential market, for sure, but it's also extremely hard to get noticed unless you're a big name brand.

>>6720442
The agencies have their own brands and work hard to create ecosystems around them in the YouTube algorithm. That's something you can't accomplish in the same way on Twitch.

In general the reach is far greater and asian countries are not as inclined to use Twitch.

>>6721422
Are asian viewers really that big of a chunk when it comes to EN groups? I'm guessing SEA is a big market for them but I can't be sure. I might need to do some language reps to at least have a chance.

>>6718004
What is the difference with my regular paypal account?

>>6721930
You don't need to reveal your real name.

Is it going to be a major detriment if I stream via mobile devices instead of a pc? I don't have a PC strong enough to do anything other than some drawing and playing emulators. Can I make the dosh on mobile?

so instead of wanting to be pewdiepie nu-children want to be vtubers?

>>6722796
the average kid probably not, most kids want recognition and to be personally famous.
vtubing is more for the introverts because it lets you hide your insecurities and allows you to be open about things without it coming back to "you"

>>6721546
Not really, if you look at Vshojo they are twitch only (with YT highlights) and are amongst some of the most successful and high viewer count streamers on twitch.
No point in going for a market that can't speak the same language on the off chance SOME of them might watch you.

>>6722796
If you think about it Vtubing is way more secure in terms of privacy.
>no webcam
>no real name
>no location information
>nothing comes back to you
>can delete your account and completely disappear
It's not surprising that a lot of people are opting for the vtubing route rather than just as a facecam streamer. I would guess the only "downsides" are that it's not for everyone and you can limit your audience due to the anime appearence. Don't forget that some edge kids and manchildren still think it's cool to hate on anime so you lose that audience but that's a good thing.
