Live2D Cubism Tutorial Series
2022 I was approached by the developers of Live2D Cubism to be part of their interviews for their Youtube Shorts series showcasing all Live2D Creators! I was considered to be one of the top overseas creators for Live2D Tutorial Content on Youtube!I was the first to upload and break down the process of creating a Vtuber Model in Live2D Cubism step by step, with both Beginner and Intermediate level tutorial videos on Youtube. This was back in the early days of 2020 when there were not many tutorials on the direct topic explaining the process on how to make a Vtuber Model and its full creation process from beginning to end.Recently I've been working on a new series which is currently on my Patreon as Early Access Content. Soon to be released for free on Youtube sometime in November/December 2023.
Live2D Vtuber Model Work
All my examples of Vtuber Models I've made using Paint Tool SAI2 and Live2D Cubism, this section includes both art commissions for Twitch Streamers and my own Vtuber Model projects for my Twitch Channel! Vtuber Models are 2D Character Models that moves and reacts to your camera tracked movements!
