HEARTGOLD!! Based pick

One thing I've learned trying to cut out distractions is that the brain will just look for the next best thing instead.

If it's not social media, it's google rabbit holes, if its not that, it's staring out the window.

it's like a Hydra. You chop one head off and it grows 3 more

I've been cooking a new new Cerfi Design on medium-low in my brain for the past few months

I can't stop doing quick 2 minute doodles on post-it notes.

THEY ARE ESCAPING, HELP

I'm vastly out of practice, so I'm gonna hold off on re-opening commissions until I've rebuild a solid workflow for myself.

Until then, I'm gonna be working on personal projects when I find time!

Hello 👋
I haven't been active for almost 6 months now.

I've been focusing most of my efforts on university, which sadly did not leave me with much time or energy to make art the way I used to.

I'm gonna take back off by showing off my last batch of commissions sometime soon.

Things have been slow, but Autumn's coming along well.

These accessories have been so much work. Please tell me it was worth it.. qwq

Hair upgrades for @smouldervtuber.bsky.social

Also don't forget to do your Glue Weight. You dont want the glue to pull on the front mesh at all. For me that was Glue A.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted-Talk or whatever you call these things! :>

A thread?... What's that?

I put the Inner Vertices really close here to minimize the gap as much as possible.
Then you just glue that inner edge up and when you move the back piece, it will stay attached no matter the angle. And same thing for the linefill.

Also you want to make absolutely sure the AA edge is not getting stretched. The stretch should be a solid chunk of color. Otherwise you'd stretch out that blurry piece which does not look pleasant.

Mesh-wise, the outer edge is contained between 2 rows of vertices. This is so theres an anti-aliased edge on the outside.
But yea, this does produce a little gap on the stretch.

Minus any effect masks, this whole thing's essentially just 4 layers. a front piece, and a back piece and 2 identical linefill layers.

The back piece works best as a solid color. But masks can be applied afterward no problem.

I wanna show off how I rigged the hair pin on Autumn's model. Its nothing crazy but I think it's cool?

Ive always had issues with these flat disk-like objects. Having 2 layers kinda works on one axis at a time but when the corners get involved it all goes to hell.

Local artist remembers Bluesky password. again.

I do still wanna show off the old version. Even though we scraped it, it was still a very interesting experiment for a potential future style evolution

#Live2D #Live2WIP

Hair shading and separation done. Took longer than expected. Client wasn't happy with the texture of the hair and we agreed that I'd redo the shading from scratch in a more simplified and less glossy manner.

Is this going in the right direction?

Still hard at work on Autumns model! I'm already working on the final PSD but I didn't have the chance to post the whole model sketch yet during my absence.

I got some more WIPs to share soon

I've been doing so much Live2D, that I Havent drawn in this style in a while. This thick-lined style just doesn't work as well for models.

Also, some design changes for Cerfi! (I missed the blue hair so much..)

This took me SO MUCH longer than a simple chibi headshot should've! q.q #GerVTuber

Liebe #GerVTuber community!!

Mal angenommen ihr möchtet Live2D lernen, oder müsstet es nocheinmal lernen: Was würdet ihr euch von einer Tutorialserie erhoffen?

Aktuell nur ne Idee. Zeit und Energie ist knapp. 😭
Es wird noch lange dauern, aber ich möchte es richtig machen!

Sooo... I wrote a lil' CLI tool to stop Live2D from turning layers into "ArtMesh17" and ruining my life.
I call it PSDLint.

It validates a PSD on wether it will produce incoherent IDs and it also has some functionality for mass editing layer names!
